0:31:10 > 0:31:14- We've just heard a new song - from 9Bach's new album.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19- Was it difficult to find this - new musical direction and style?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- No, not at all.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- People always change.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Tincian looked back...
0:31:27 > 0:31:32- ..whilst this next album - has more anger and it's political.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- I've changed as a person.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- I've awoken and realized new things.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44- This album is more rhythmical - and there is a certain anger there.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49- I don't see the point - in writing songs without a story.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- I always want my songs - to say something.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57- You've recorded a third album - but does 9Bach have long-term plans?
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- The new album is out in April - and we're touring in May...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- ..so we're looking forward to it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Good luck with the next 9Bach album.
