There’s plenty of love for the music, plus an approach to recording that utilised their experience as a unit and prioritised what felt right. While talking about Surviving, Adkins laughs a lot. It made me realise how there are kids out there, SoundCloud rappers who’ve never seen an XLR cable, making Platinum records.” The passenger “I dropped it in the song and it was fine. “Davey was wondering how he’s gonna do it, where he’s gonna go for a studio and I’m like, ‘Fuck that, put headphones on with your laptop, record vocals with your phone and send that to me,’” Adkins says. The microphone on those things is most of the cost of the device.”Ī fortunate side effect of this realisation was a quick fix involving AFI vocalist Davey Havok, whose backing vocals on the closer, Congratulations, were recorded in the same way. “We had to fuck it up because it sounded too good,” he says.

What they did opt to do next, though, will delight the old heads. It’s like, ‘What are you going to do now?’”
If there’s not a bit of trepidation, then I think you’re not pushing yourself.” From across the room, the band’s SG-toting guitarist Tom Linton adds: “It’s kind of a cliffhanger, a song like 555. “I was hoping people would say: ‘Fuck, what did I just hear?’ I was hoping it was too weird. “Damn it!” Adkins laughs during an early morning catch-up at the London headquarters of the band’s label. But, thanks to frontman Jim Adkins’ impassioned performance and some perfectly-timed, chiming guitar overdubs, it resolutely rings true as a Jimmy Eat World song. Dotted with 808 snaps, synth bass and multi-tracked, R&B-adjacent vocal phrasing, it’s a killer curveball. That is, until 555 lands, a quarter of the way through the running order. True to form, on their excellent new LP, Surviving, they set about playing clever, emotionally resonant indie-rock songs that are just scruffy enough.
