If there’s a thread connecting all of Smith’s work, it’s a sense of anger – an eviscerating fury at the state of the world. It drives him still, and it isn’t something that he’s struggling to tap into in 2024 Britain.

“Yeah, I’m angry,” he says, “angry that we’re not being allowed to have the lives that we want. I love people, and everywhere I go, I see fantastic people who deserve better than they’re getting. There’s a tremendous sense of community out in the world still, which you really see at gigs and when people get the chance to get together and talk to each other and be with each other. We’re being increasingly isolated and alienated and discouraged from doing the social stuff that makes us what we are. So, yeah, I’m angry, because it should be so much better.” This in turn has fuelled Smith’s new Handwriting album. “I tried to sum up my feelings about what’s going on in the world and my fears for the future and just ladled that all into one album.”
