You Know What You're Doing (Digital Single)

About 'You Know What You're Doing'

Fortnight in Florida’s pop sensibilities is on full display in ‘You Know What You’re Doing’. Palm-muted guitars and floaty synths are reminiscent of 80’s dream-pop pioneers such as the Cocteau Twins and Hall & Oates. The original four-chord sequence that became the basis of the song was actually written by a dear dear friend of the band Edward Downham in an East-end flat adjoining Victoria Park and it’s just the sort of sound you’d be likely to hear at around 6 pm on a hazy August evening at All Points East. 

"Inspired by 1980’s Cinema, in particular, 80’s inspired TV series “Red Oaks”, You Know what You’re doing aims to Capture the essence of an upbeat yet carefree and slightly Naïve love obsession for whom everything goes their way all the time." - Simon Middleton

The single was recorded at the renowned Rockfield recording studios in Monmouth, Wales. The studio has a rich recording history and has hosted recording sessions for many iconic artists, including Queen, Oasis, Stone Roses, and Coldplay.

Laurence 'Loz' Anslow, who has worked with artists such as Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons, Muse, and Coldplay, produced, engineered, and mixed the single.
