How did you two meet?

So, I joined the college choir in my second year, with a view to try and make more music in general. I asked my friend if he knew anybody who’d be interested in collaborating and he introduced me to Jago – well, kind of pointed me to his direction. Then we started trying some things out.

What are your musical influences?

Jago (to Eloïse): Shit from the nineties, which you like.

Eloïse: Yeah! I have a bit of a nineties crush at the moment. But, normally I’ll get something stuck in my head and it will remind me of something else. Then I’ll want to put them together and I’ll suggest it to Jago – normally he likes it.

Jago: … Or I pretend I do.

Eloïse: Or he pretends… It’s all coming out now! Then we just kind of experiment and see what works.

Jago (to Eloïse): You have a good ear for mixing stuff together – it works quite well. I think you hear stuff in relation to each other. Most pop songs slot together anyway, because they’re all kind of the same underneath.

What do you enjoy about your music?

Eloïse: I like kind of fusing ‘beautiful’ things with ‘ugly’ things and exploring things that, maybe, mass culture doesn’t. Like, obviously pop music is very over sexualised, but the elements of sex and love that aren’t really explored. Maybe aesthetics that are less familiar. Or merging things together and being a bit more experimental.

What are your plans for the future?

Eloïse: To keep making music, really. I want to make some music videos because I’d like to, long term, be a director. Jago and me have worked together on a lot of shows and things like that. I’d like to move more in to film – we could combine our music with actors and film. That’d be really cool. So that’s kind of the long term plan
