For In Dream we decided to switch it up again. This was partly a response to The Weight of Your Love and that confusion so we hid ourselves away on the west coast of Scotland, tried to play with keyboards and electronics and do things at a different kind of pace. We managed to capture something and something connected to the environment we were in, with huge windows looking out over the Isle of Jura. It was a purposeful isolation, a bedding-in of the new line-up with subsequent mixing by Alan Moulder rounding off the recordings. Both these songs were the sound of us getting to know ourselves as musicians and it marked the point where we became more of a studio band rather than band band.

No harm reminds me of two things – 1.  Being in the middle of fucking nowhere on the west coast of Scotland and 2. Hearing the sound of the album ‘In Dream’ dropping into place. This was the first track from the record that just clicked – those desolate kicks and snares, all that mood and darkness just sat right in this track. This was also the first time i’d recorded Tom’s voice, and didn’t know if he was one of those singers who just takes forever using multiple edits to get it right or just throws it down. Luckily he’s the latter so it was swift work. My favourite Editors track.
