“The Balcony” Q&A

What have the band said about the album?
When speaking to Interview Magazine, Benji and McCann said:
Some of them go back six or seven years at least, even if they were just ideas. We wrote “Tyrants” when we were about 14. The album was written over a period of six or seven years and while bits of each song has brand new parts from the studio, the majority of it has been floating around. […] We’ve written loads of songs that didn’t make it on this album. We’ve got enough ideas for five albums!
