Pumped to be heading back to Australia, this is the band's fourth time touring these shores. "It's always been a really amazing time," Hershenow says.

"Australia was the first country to really adopt us as a band. You guys have really followed through. It's been an incredible time every time we're down there. The crowds have gotten bigger and bigger. It seems to really resonate."

Feeling lucky to travel the world in the way that he does, Hershenow says he never expected to become a successful musician.

"It was definitely sort of a pipe dream that I just didn't think about as a potential reality. And so, I'm sort of constantly blown away by it, and so deeply grateful for the situation that I've found myself in. It's an incredible, incredible thing, and an incredible feeling."

With their live act a massive part of MS MR's identity, the band has grown enormously since their demo EP Ghost City USA was released in 2011.

"I don't listen to the records that often, because it's just boring for me, but recently I went back and listened to the stuff on Secondhand Rapture, and it was amazing how much the music has changed, as we perform it every night on stage.

"It sort of takes on this other life. And without ever intentionally making a huge departure from the recorded music, it's evolved little by little into something much louder, much rockier, much liver, much more accomplished I think."

Discussing the making of album number three, the follow up to last year's How Does It Feel, Hershenow says the band are not in a hurry to get things done.

"We are taking a little time off, to reconnect with our home bases, because we've been on tour for five years and haven't had time at home for so long," he says. "So we are going to do that, and work on some other creative projects and come back at the end of next year and dig back in. So it might be a minute, but don't worry, it is definitely coming."

While in the country, he says he will be trying to see as many new towns as he can when touring with Groovin the Moo.

"When we were first starting out as a band, it was really hard because you spend so much time travelling and you are driving everywhere, in a van, you know? It's hard to see places.

"But now that we are on a bus and things are more comfortable, we have a lot more time, and resources also, to have more time off. It's meant that we get a lot more time in cities, and it's meant that our relationship with the cities has evolved."

This has meant developing quite the global mindset, something that extends right down to how Hershenow buys his daily coffee.

"Now that we've been to some of these places that many times, I love that I know my favourite place in Shoreditch, London, and I know where to get my coffee and I know where to get dinner there. And it's the same in Berlin and the same in Sydney, and the same in Seattle. Everyone has their mental map of their city, but mine just happens to be this global map."
