“Four Kinds of Horses actually began on Richard Russell’s project ‘Everything Is Recorded’. He’s a friend (and founder of XL Records) and he asked me to pop into his studio to explore some ideas with him. I came up with some chords, melodies and words on top of a groove he was working on. We tried a few things that didn't altogether work to his satisfaction, so it lay dormant for quite a while. Then I started playing around with it again and changed the mood and the groove and something else began to emerge with a much better chorus.

I was working with Katie May in the studio one day and she put together a sort of trip hop vibe which I liked a lot. I felt it belonged and had an attitude, that led me into this other place. Then we grew a lot of different textures and the song evolved into a very different being.

It’s a little different from the rest of the album but I think it's got a strong character.”
