Introducing: Spoort
While they naturally came out of their Strokes covers into an indie-centric style, they didn’t put any borders on where they could take their sound. They had a period where they were making Midwest emo songs; “That was quite a heavy phase,” Kingy recalls. “We wouldn’t have liked to refer to it as a ‘phase’ at the time, but I think in hindsight it probably was.” They also spent some time delving into math-rock, Ross recalling a gig at a carvery, “playing 7/4 while people were eating their roasts” – “I think it went down alright,” Kingy interjects. “Maybe I’m delusional.”
