In addition to our published interview with Placebos frontman Brian Molko, he talks to us exclusively here about writing their latest album Loud Like Love. We never plan the tone of the album before writing it. The two main inspirations are a vociferous, almost allergic reaction to its predecessor – a clamorous desire to do the opposite – coupled with the process of writing itself. It is only about half way through the process that we begin to understand what the album is about. And since this process is instinctual, we find out what is really going on inside of ourselves on an emotional level. The song I am most proud of is ‘Bosco’. It is the most honest and vulnerable I have ever been in a song, and though it is a sad and tragic story, it proves, to me at least, that there is the capacity for redemption and forgiveness in all of us. Due to its extremely personal nature it still brings a tear to my eye when I hear it, but it also gives me hope. Hope is important, we must never lose it.
