The band researched the name and found it also meant the \"sound of innovation on an open mind\".\n--\nKatie White was asked if she realized straight away that this was a hit record. She replied: \"I loved it straight away but I felt like my judgment had been screwed because we went through our old band [Dear Eskimo] and it all went wrong, so I thought 'what the hell do I know - I obviously don't have good ears'. But when we started playing it live it became quite electric and the hairs on my arms were standing up, and it felt like it had a lot of power behind it.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
