British sibling trio Kitty, Daisy & Lewis are discussing why their fourth album ¡°Superscope¡± is their most upbeat yet. ¡°I think you just get bored of moaning all the time, don¡¯t you?¡± says Daisy, 29. ¡°Going on about love and ¡®poor old me,¡¯ that kind of thing can get boring.¡±
¡°S¡ª- happens,¡± laughs Kitty, 24, ¡°Get on with it.¡±
We¡¯re sat in Kitty, Daisy and Lewis Durham¡¯s refurbished home studio, a cramped space disguised along a busy road in north London. Four years ago it was an Indian restaurant: Today it is cluttered with vintage instruments and analog equipment (not to mention an excitable greyhound). It was built with the same spirit that runs through Kitty, Daisy and Lewis¡¯ music: Take something old and familiar ¡ª in their case the very roots of rock ¡®n¡¯ roll, blues, ska and soul ¡ª and turn it into something of their own. ¡°We get the retro thing a lot,¡± says Lewis (27). ¡°But we¡¯re not just looking to the past.¡±
