British sibling trio Kitty, Daisy & Lewis are discussing why their fourth album "Superscope" is their most upbeat yet. "I think you just get bored of moaning all the time, don't you?" says Daisy, 29. "Going on about love and 'poor old me,' that kind of thing can get boring."
"S—- happens," laughs Kitty, 24, "Get on with it."
We're sat in Kitty, Daisy and Lewis Durham's refurbished home studio, a cramped space disguised along a busy road in north London. Four years ago it was an Indian restaurant: Today it is cluttered with vintage instruments and analog equipment (not to mention an excitable greyhound). It was built with the same spirit that runs through Kitty, Daisy and Lewis' music: Take something old and familiar — in their case the very roots of rock 'n' roll, blues, ska and soul — and turn it into something of their own. "We get the retro thing a lot," says Lewis (27). "But we're not just looking to the past."
