G - Ginny V - Vincent R - Ronan A - Avi
1. When did you start creating music and how has that led to the neverminds it exists today?
G - I had never really made my own music until right before we started the band. Before that, music was always just a hobby for me even though I played guitar a little bit. I think I'm learning so much about songwriting while being in this band because of that
V - I started writing my own songs in middle school and began producing in high school on GarageBand. When I began producing, I taught myself other instruments such as bass, piano and drums. I would also arrange a bunch of songs for my band in high school. All of these experiences would help me in the neverminds as I knew how to use Logic Pro to record our music as well as write/arrange various instrument parts for our songs.
R - I started writing my own stuff when I was about 9 or 10 and slowly got more and more serious about being a musician.
A - I joined the band last September and have had the pleasure of creating music with everyone. Iâve been playing drums since I was 6 and making music most of my life.
2. How did the members first get into music?
G - My parents always loved music and my dad taught me how to play guitar when I first started learning guitar in elementary school. I joined a school rock band in middle school and played at school festivals. Being in the band with my close friends was the most fun part of my school years and I think since then I always wanted to be in a band and make music together with friends. Thatâs why I started the neverminds in the first place.
V - The first instrument I learned was the ukulele in middle school. I then taught myself how to play guitar as well and started to jam with my other friends at school. Our classmates would gather around the lunch table and we would sing and jam out to random songs and eventually we created a band in high school.
R - when i was a little kid my dad had an acoustic guitar that he sometimes played and i just wanted to play super bad
A - Iâve been into music since birth.
3. Please tell me about the concept, production and recording of the new EP ânevermind, the winterâ?
G - ânevermind, the winter.â is a sister/sequel album to our first ep ânevermind, the summer.â In the summer ep, we tried to capture a nostalgic and melancholic summer and adolescence while the winter ep talks more about heavy emotions - loneliness, isolation, heartbreak and the feeling of waking up from a dream you canât remember anymore. After coming up with these concepts for both EPs, the ideas for the lyrics followed and were written to fit the intention of the album. After we finished our songs, we carefully curated the tracklist so that the whole EP could flow well and create stories together. Every track works as different chapters of the same book, and I hope people who listen to our EP can feel as though they are reading our story.
V - For ânevermind, the summer.â " guitars and bass were recorded simultaneously straight into an audio interface over a drum track while live drums were recorded separately, however, for the new EP we experimented with more complex recording techniques and overdubbing to have more creative control over our sound. We recorded all guitar and bass parts individually through both DI and microphone using a Fender twin reverb and an Ampeg BA. A new technique we implemented for recording drums this time was using a room mic. Overall, we played around a lot with different mic placements to achieve more unique tones and effects as well as experimented with a lot of new guitar pedals. We also implemented the use of a violin bow on the guitar to create the sound that can be heard in the intro of âhaunt meâ and the ending of âduskâ. Vocals were recorded using a Shure SM7B which is a good microphone to be used in untreated rooms which was perfect for us since we recorded everything in my townhouse bedroom. However, we got several noise complaints from neighbours during the recording of this EP because of the long hours of recording very loud sounds.
4. how do you feel about the scenes around you? Do you have any connections with other bands?
V - I am very inspired by the band scene in Toronto. We have played with various toronto indie bands such as White Rabbit, Poor You and Brother. These are all bands who I am a big fan of not just because they are our acquaintances but because they make raw and amazing music that feels genuine, personal and heartfelt. I think bands like them need more attention internationally.
R - I think the shoegaze scene in Toronto, even if itâs pretty small, is still pretty great. I think itâs incredible that weâve gotten to play with Luster Dust, for example.
A - Iâve loved meeting some of the bands in the local Toronto shoegaze/alternative rock scene. Bands such as Luster Dust have really inspired us to work harder on our live sound.
G - Everyone already answered my favourite bands in the Toronto scene so I want to talk about something different. We recently made a music and art collective called âloveless collectiveâ. We made this collective to connect with shoegaze/dreampop bands in and out of Toronto and organize shows/events involving them. Our goal is to help the shoegaze scene become more active by having a platform to showcase their music.
5. Are there any Japanese artists you listen to?
G - I love Japanese shoegaze bands, such as Yuragi, my dead girlfriend, Tokyo Shoegazer, Uchuu Nekoko, kinokoteikoku, For Tracy Hyde and so on. I also love Vocaloid shoegaze, I think mikgazer is the best shoegaze album of all time. Apart from shoegaze scene, I also love Yorushika and Eve.
V - Some of my favourite Japanese artists are Kiyotaka Sugiyama and Tatsuro Yamashita. I love music from the 80s city pop era of Japan.
R - when i was about 15 or 16 i got really into ichika nito and i still listen to his stuff from time to time
A - No, but I hope that will change after the tour.
6. What are you looking forward to doing when you come to Japan?
G - We are visiting Osaka and Nagoya while we are there. We are very excited to travel and explore the city, and enjoy the food there. We are also looking forward to watching other bands play at different live houses. I feel like it will be a great experience for all of us.
7. What are your current/dream goals for the upcoming?
G - Going on a tour was one of our biggest goals, so weâre really grateful that we get to that so early in our career. Another goal would be to make more music, connect with more artists in the shoegaze scene and become better as musicians.
