Modular People

Before revving up the Bouletmobile and stepping out on his first headline tour, we had a chinwag with our main man Jonathan Boulet. Jono spills the beans on his song-writing process, what makes him happy and sheds some light on album two's process.

Modular: A lot of emphasis has been placed on the fact that you recorded the album by yourself and played all of the instruments. How does it feel to perform the songs with a band rather than have complete control over every aspect?
Jonathan Boulet: I think it's good. It's different because I like to make it a bit more open to those guys, so every now and then we'll try jamming, or maybe I'll start playing something and everyone will join in and they don't know what I'm going to do. It's totally different, it's not all set out, it's all just sort of open. If you feel like something - you can try it.
