Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

8. TTNGAnimals

I have a panda tattoo because the first TTNG album Animals has animals on it and ‘Panda’ is my favourite song. I like them all, but I chose a panda. It’s more easy listening, softer if you haven’t listened to math rock before, they have an indie-ish Oxford lads vibe, I saw them one time which was really cool. I don’t listen to them much any more.

Who were you going to gigs with at that time?

My best mate MJ who I met at college. I’ve seen a lot of these guys with MJ, I got him into math rock, haha. Then sometimes he would message me in the morning about tickets that have come out. It was fun, and now after Covid I feel like I’m probably too tired to go out the house, haha.
