It’s been three years since your last album, what took you so long?
O: I’d say a lot of things have changed since our previous album. For the first two we were with Zyd Records, but by the time our contract ended, Tee, joined a Sanamluang Record’s project called Lazy Sunday for the song “Dee Yang Rai.” That led us to join the label [part of GMM Grammy] and it took time to make the album.

What else have you been doing?
O: Actually, we’ve done a lot of side projects: Moo, the bassist, still has a full-time job as a sales engineer, Eddy and I play as a backup band for lots of artists like Pod Moderndog, Bee Peerapat and Tor Saksit. But now, with the move to Sanamluang, we have to reset our priorities to our own band.

Are your worried the move to a bigger label will affect your musical style?
O: Not at all. Because before deciding to sign here, we and the record company came to an agreement. We feel secure they know our style and trust us to produce by ourselves. But the production process is very different than before. We have to deal with more people and the deadlines are fixed because if we’re late, the whole project will crash.
Tee: We now have a bigger production budget. Previously when we had a sound we wanted to add, like a violin we had to use a synthesizer. It helps us extend our musical capability.

How does the third album Jet’s evolve from the previous two?
O: It’s the balance. Our first album is more easy-listening with a touch of soul and funk. Our second album combined easy listening with a more fun sound. Now we feel we have grown up a lot, so we make a balance of those two but still keep the song’s positivity.
Eddy: This third album is like fulfilling a dream as a musician in that we have a bigger production value, with real instruments.

What can we expect from this upcoming concert?
O: This is the first time that we have our own concert. So we want to portray the band’s history through new arrangements of our old songs and also covers of songs we like.
Eddy: There’ll also be special guests, like NuNa Nuengthida who features on this album, and Nu Monthip who worked on our first album.
Tee: Our new single “Gaw Pai” was produced especially for this concert. The song is based on our experiences over the last seven years. We hope that it could inspire others to pursue their dream.
