The band have also spoken to NME about their plans for their second album. 

Keyboardist Aurora Nishevci told the website, “There is a pressure going into the second album I guess, but I don’t think we’re so focused on that. We’re more excited because the first album for us was ages ago. We recorded it ages ago, like, a year before we actually released it. We’ve been so nonstop busy playing shows and everything since then so it’s exciting to be home and writing because that’s what we’ve been doing since we were kids. We’ve been creative little weirdos so it’s nice to get back to that space. It’s exciting.”

“We’ve not set out a concept for it, but we know we want to shift away aesthetically from album one, in terms of how we dress and the whole world.”
