Today I interviewed Nature TV! This interview is about their new single ‘Tell Me Something Good’, pizza (of course) and Nature as well as TV!

For those who have not been introduced, Nature TV is a Brighton based indie rock/pop band that are also known as door to door heartbreak salesman.If you want a better introduction to their music before you read this interview I have previously reviewed one of their previous singles ‘Summer Nights’ which you can read here

Firstly I have to ask the honorary question, what are your go to pizza orders?

Turk: XL thin crust veggie w/ added double pepperoni. It’s confusing but oh so delicious. 

Zal: I don’t eat pizza, too many carbs.

Guy: Hawaiian, all about the pineapple.

Jimmy: Margherita, it’s the most popular for a reason.

Do you prefer to be in nature or to watch TV?

Turk: In these colder months TV is king, but definitely would rather be in nature. Somewhere tropical and mysterious…

Zal: To be in nature, good for the old blood pressure.

Guy: A healthy balance of both, nature is cool but put it on a screen and its best of both worlds?

Jimmy: Definitely Nature, I’m a bit of a Naturalist or naturist, I don’t know which is which, but I have a big tv. 

—

On the topic of nature and TV what is your favorite TV show?

Guy: Mandalorian at the moment, best Star Wars in years.

Zal: Anything Louis Theroux, he’s my guy through and Theroux.

Turk: Such a huge question. There are so many number 1s but let’s go with Father Ted. 

Jimmy: Top Gear, it's the only show I watch, I’m just not that into tv.

—

What was your favorite part of making ‘Tell Me Something Good’?

Turk: Probably hearing the first mix of the finished recording. Really love how it’s turned out. Hope other people but us do, too! 

Guy: Piecing it all together, it took a while to make it work and I hope it does.

Zal: Hearing it with the full band for the first time. 

Jimmy: Having fun in the studio, trying to pick the perfect snare drum, Zal has no idea.

—

Was there a moment in the production of ‘Tell Me Something Good’ where you tried something and could tell instantly that you made the right decision?

Turk: Yeah I used a thicker pick which helped get a slightly chunkier bass tone. Yellow Jim Dunlop (in case you’re wondering).

Guy: That shaker, always love a good shake.

Zal: Hmm that shaker.

Jimmy: For a long time there were no bvs in the chorus so that was a good one, and also waiting to hear how Solo mixed the guitars.

—

How did you come up with the nickname door to door heartbreak salesman?

Turk: Not sure. Maybe it came to one of us in a dream? The heartbreak part certainly checks out.

Guy: It’s been our bio for so long I can’t even remember how it came about, probably cos we work bad jobs and are lonely.

Zal: We write sad songs and have as much luck selling them as door to door salesmen.

Jimmy: Wasn’t anything to do with me.

—

What element from ‘Tell Me Something Good’ do you feel stands out the most?

Turk: A couple of big ol’ F# minors and a couple of even bigger choruses.

Guy: Jimmy’s guitar part in the chorus, it’s a real heartbreaker.

Zal: The Half time prince chord.

Jimmy: I appreciate the effort that Turk put in on the bass.

—

And lastly, what do you have planned next for Nature TV?

Turk: Some more stuff coming out, a bunch more gigs and a general furthering of our tight musical family bond.

Guy: Try and release a potential album next year I would say.

Zal: We’d like to support more other bands and hopefully do our own headline show as well.

Jimmy: I wanna support Men I Trust, I think we could be the men they trust.
