“Rain on the Humming Wire comes from me thinking about this place in the hills of Perth where I grew up. After there were storms, the whole place would be buzzing but there was no one around to hear it. All the powerlines would send out this buzzing sound. So I thought it would be interesting, with a record that is about looking back a lot of the time, to have its title taken from the very place where I first found myself looking forward, as a young person, towards the future”.

Here’s an interview I did with Jae Laffer of the Panics. He is a really friendly guy who was happy to speak at length about his experience in the band, working overseas and the new album.
