Audiotree Live 03/27/2014: About Le Shiek Rhat (Transcript)

(Applause)
Host: Naive Thieves on Audiotree Live.

Can you share with me a little about French? Especially with "Le Shiek Rhat" or what the choice was there. And yeah. Just about that.

Cameron Thorne: You should take this one, Levi.

Levi Audette: Yeah, am I on? Yeah, I'm on. Cool. So I have this really weird habit of, especially when I'm demoing songs at home, they obviously have no lyrical content. And so I don't know what to name them. And instead of having it like Untitled 1, Untitled 2, onto a thousand, I just give them random titles. And "Le Sheik Rhat" was like something, I just typed it. And then afterwards we came up with a whole story of this character. But the French kind of—I don't know, it's not inspired at all by the French language. We just think it has like a certain swagger and kinda suave to it, you know, if that makes sense at all.

Host: Sure, yeah, no, I agree totally. I know you guys helped out with the yellow and blue parts of the colour spectrum, and even like that, it ties in so well with that aesthetic. When I think of those colours, the words and the way they're accented and that kinda thing fits together.

Audette: Yeah, yeah.

Host: So, yeah, cool. Alright. Way better than Untitled 1 through 1000, I think. [Laughs]

Thorne: [Laughs] (Exactly.)

Host: Sweet. You can go into your next set.

Thorne: Cool. (I'm copying, am I right?)
