Last year a good friend of mine said he had been recording some song ideas. These recordings were scratchy, lo-fi demos of just a vocal and an acoustic guitar. After spending a cold Saturday together watching Championship football in Cardiff he played me the demos on the drive home. I loved them, brilliant chord structures and great, catchy vocal melodies.
He wanted to work on the tracks and have them 'produced' into a fuller sound. I was game.
I took the demos and started to play about with beats and sounds, aiming to support the songs, rather than distract from them. The ideas came together quite quickly even though we wanted each track to have it's own identity, sitting on it's own whilst not sounding alien to the others. A set of siblings, all unique but belonging to the same family.
In any case, we spent four long days during the summer working on four tracks, two of which can be found here.
