• “Because this album is so sonically different than anything I’ve done before and captures many flavors of my emotional life and voice, it needed an entirely new name. ‘Terra Incognita’ means unknown territory — and that’s where I wanted to go musically. The guitars are more wild and atmospheric. The groove is dark and deep and allow for a lot of sonic contrasts. It took me five years to really cut my teeth both as a performer and as a songwriter and I wanted to break all the habits I’d gotten used to and let songs develop out of a groove or simple piano notes and melody.” — Juliette Lewis, on her new album with her new band, the New Romantiques, who are replacing her former band, The Licks.

I love the man and I grew up kind of idolising him. It’s breaking my heart that for him the be-all and end-all of our relationship is whether or not there’s something despicable in my bloodstream. I’d love to just go to football with him like we used to or just go for a drink and be a son and him a father.” — Pete Doherty. [Daily Express]
