"I discovered Cass McCombs’s music when we were making our fourth album Radlands, which we choose to make in America. At that point we’d all been living in London for years and we were looking for a taste of another life, another existence, and we found that in Texas. “We moved to Austin and lived there for about four months, which doesn’t sound like that long, but it was long enough to immerse ourselves in Texan culture. We went to make the record in this old colonial era ranch house, right out in the middle of nowhere and it was perfect. We had racoons raiding our dustbins, rattlesnakes under the back porch, and a rifle. We even used it to shoot tin cans. “I think it was our first week in Texas, and we went to the local record store in Austin. I always like to ask the guy behind the counter what he likes to listen to, especially if I’m in a different place and the Texan record store guy said, “You’ve got to hear the new Cass McCombs record."" “We put it on, and from that moment it totally shaped what Radlands went on to become. We actually went out to Austin without any songs written, but once we heard Cass McCombs we realised it had the DNA of what we wanted to make. “County Line” is a very slow song. It has a sense of longing about it, a dream-like half-remembered memory mood to it. He’s just got the loveliest voice which is so evocative, and it really captures the mood of Radlands"
