Behind the Music: Interview with Strawman & The Jackdaws

“Writing music is an intimate process – we want to be happy with it before we share it with the world.”

‘It’s difficult to plan anything at the moment, so we’re writing and recording all the time.’

‘It’s so encouraging to have support from people who have been in the music industry for years.’

‘Creating ‘Neptune’s Daughter’ was one of the most fun experiences of my life!’

‘Shifting from folk-centred intimacy to emotionally-driven power, it’s a truly stunning debut.’

‘Delivering infectious rhythmicality and honey-sweet lyricism, these tracks make you want more of Liberty’s music.’

“I think it’s really important for a singer to be involved in every aspect of the song – even if they have a producer.”

‘In the earlier days we were inspired by melancholic folk music, but now we’ve come to realise we prefer a heavier sound.’

“The best moments for me are always the surprises – those unexpected gems that can change a track.”

‘With standout discoveries, new feature writers and industry collaborations, it’s been an incredible month.’
