00:00Hi, I'm Liberty from NME, and we're at Glastonbury 2024 with...

00:09Hello, I'm Betta Dope.

00:11How are you finding it?

00:12Good.

00:13It's good.

00:14It's nice.

00:15It's perfect, because it's cool.

00:16It's not hot, really, and there's no mud.

00:20What a dream.

00:21So, we recently saw you release your first album since 2012.

00:25Have you found the response, and what's it been like to be together as a band again?

00:29It's been really cool.

00:31It's been really interesting, because when you...

00:34It's like riding a bicycle.

00:35So, when you make a record again, it's just exactly the same.

00:40It's funny, because then you answer the question of the people, like, what is it like?

00:43What's the response?

00:44I'm like, I don't know.

00:45It's the same, I guess.

00:46It's kind of the same, but I don't know.

00:48It's just been really fun.

00:50It's been really fun.

00:51Making the video was really fun.

00:52Doing all the artwork was really fun, because we got to work with our friend, Cody Crichlow,

00:56who's a genius.

00:57Not just a genius, he's so funny.

01:00That was really cool and fun.

01:02Now we're just here.

01:03So, it's kind of like, I think it's in this moment of being like, oh, wow, we're playing

01:10festivals still.

01:11Because I thought it was going to be maybe a solo album at first.

01:15Yeah, it was.

01:16How did it evolve?

01:17I was with Rick Rubin, and we were working together, and I was just like, I'm going to

01:22get Nathan to come out.

01:23Nathan came out, and he's playing.

01:26I was just like, I couldn't decide, should it be a solo record or a gossip record?

01:31Because Nathan was playing these beautiful things, and he was working really hard on

01:34the record, and it just didn't feel right to not have, you know, to give him his credit

01:40where it was due, and not to be a group project.

01:42And so, we just decided it would be a gossip record.

01:45Just like that.

01:46Things happen.

01:47There's so much more boring than you want them to be.

01:51You're like, I don't know.

01:54It's just like, that's it.

01:56It's simple.
