It's debut album time for Drahla: "It's turned out much better than we anticipated"

Leeds-London trio Drahla have been winding their way towards a debut for a few years now, plotting a course through the messiness of growing up and attempting to make sense of an ever-shifting world via complex, chaotic art-rock. Bassist Rob Riggs, singer/guitarist Luciel Brown and drummer Mike Ainsley fill us in.

Hey guys, are you all based in South East London now? How are you finding it? Mike: I'm not, I live in Wakefield. I do like London, though. It always felt like a bit of a chore to go and a pretty stressful place to be, but I feel less and less like that the more I visit nowadays. Riggs: Me and Lu moved back down the backend of last year, so we could go to America. Yeah, it's good, can't seem to find any decent fish and chips though. I've been told they don't cook them in lard down here? Luciel: We're back and forth to Leeds/Wakefield a lot too, so we're kind of based between the two and elsewhere at the moment.
