Hey, we're the Plane White T's, hanging out at Young Hollywood and this is Rhythm of Love. My head's stuck in the clouds, she begs me to come down, says, "Boy, I'm Oliver Trevena here with Tom, Tim and Mike. How are you lads? So that, man. Very good. Thanks for stopping by. Of course. Wonders of the Younger, new album and then the new single which we're going to have the pleasure of hearing, Rhythm of Love. Yes, sir. Tell us where them titles came from. Oh well, Wonders of the Younger, I was at uh, I went to go see a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas like a year and a half ago. And uh I don't know, I left there thinking, man, I got the name for our new album, Wonders of the Younger.
That's just what I had in my head, I don't know, I thought it'd be cool to make an album that, you know, gave you that feeling. Okay. How's the the new album changed from the the last one? So this album, you know, has a little bit of everything. It has the rock and it has a couple songs that are more like Delilah but, you know, we always try to play the whole spectrum. We don't wanna, you know, just kinda limit ourselves and do one thing all the time. So you get to rock out a little bit more. Oh yeah, oh yeah. It's more fun. No doubt when you're on tour. You know, it's it's both fun. It's cool when you play the acoustic songs and the whole crowd's singing along.
You know that's those are some good moments. your tears will come. Any uh any crazy little tour stories that you can share from your previous? Uh not that we can share but that yeah. Okay. So there are a lot of crazy, you know, tour stories. Fun. Touring's fun. It's debauchery. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of a lot of self-debauchery, I'd say. You know, palm debauchery. Let's get this out. I can see that we're on to a subject there if you wanna let it out. You use this as a counseling session. That's what Tim wrote Rhythm of Love about. You know there's a rhythm involved with self-debauchery. Wow. He's about? Yeah, 86 times per minute. That's the uh rhythm. Okay. Wow. Great. Brilliant. That's fast.
Very enough. We may only have tonight but til the morning sun your mind. All right, play the music and flow. sway to the rhythm of love. Mike, what do you do in your spare time? A lot of drinking, a lot of golf. Yeah, that's my man, right there. Tim in the middle. Me and him, we're there. We know exactly what it's about. Not so much to golf 'cause I'm terrible at it. I've tried it. The trick is the tall boy. What and what is that? A tall a tall beer. Oh, okay, okay. That's where I'm going wrong then. I've turned up to the golf course sober. Yeah, he meant drinking and golfing at the same time. Not separate. Or going out to the bars and bringing a golf club with you. I don't know.
Are you English? No. Okay. Um well lads, it's been a pleasure and once again thanks for coming on. Thank you. All right. Play the music and flow, sway to the rhythm of love. Play the music and flow and sway to the rhythm of love.
