00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:25.490

00:02:25.710 --> 00:02:26.040
Alternate Line: Yes.

34
00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:30.750

35
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.558
Andrew's iPhone: So yeah, I'm gonna crack this open later on. But, as I say, I'm just working my way up to it.

Andrew's iPhone: Stoop.

39
00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:43.779
Alternate Line: When you think of all the gifts I've given you over the years, they've mostly been weird. I think we're

40
00:02:45.429 --> 00:02:54.650
Alternate Line: but yeah, I I just thought like, whenever I'm buying someone, some beers if they like beer, I always think right. You should always chuck in something that's just a bit, you know.

41
00:02:54.930 --> 00:02:55.410
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah.

42
00:02:55.410 --> 00:02:58.850
Alternate Line: I mean, what's the use in buying someone like 4 cans of Stella? Do you know, I mean, like, what's the.

43
00:02:58.850 --> 00:02:59.340
Andrew's iPhone: Right.

44
00:02:59.340 --> 00:02:59.780
Alternate Line: Got me.

45
00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:01.840
Andrew's iPhone: So point getting the software that they'll actually enjoy.

46
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:10.109
Alternate Line: I'm gonna enjoy you. I'm gonna enjoy watching you drink that. You know what it might be nice. It might be nice.

47
00:03:10.110 --> 00:03:12.279
Andrew's iPhone: It might, it might. That's a big mate. But yeah.

48
00:03:14.110 --> 00:03:19.260
Alternate Line: Right. So I kicked us off with men without hats. The safety dance because a little.

49
00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:19.720
Andrew's iPhone: But.

50
00:03:20.105 --> 00:03:30.900
Alternate Line: I've become fascinated with people, blind ranking things on on the Internet. It's been like a little hobby of mine watching it on Youtube shorts and on Tiktok.

51
00:03:31.430 --> 00:03:35.419
Alternate Line: So I did a blind drinking last night, and I sent it. Sent it along to you of

52
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.650
Alternate Line: 10 songs from the eighties.

53
00:03:38.064 --> 00:03:57.569
Alternate Line: That I just thought were, and I tried to. I tried to rank them, and I made a bit of a bum of it really. I ended up with the right number One Hounds of Love, by Kate Bush, which is a great song which I love very much. Probably my favorite Kate Bush song, but then I just got it. All kinds of screwed up, and I like it just went all wrong. End up with you 2 at Number 3, cause I just ran.

54
00:03:58.570 --> 00:04:04.330
Alternate Line: and that's the danger that's the danger that produces. Have you been? Have you seen a lot of this on your social medias, or.

55
00:04:04.330 --> 00:04:07.830
Andrew's iPhone: I have. I've been watching them, but I must admit I've not participated myself.

56
00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:11.170
Alternate Line: Well, great news, Andrew, you're just about to.

57
00:04:12.210 --> 00:04:18.900
Alternate Line: Here it comes. I know that this will bring you a great deal of stress, and that's partly why I'm doing it.

58
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:19.700
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah.

59
00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:20.230
Alternate Line: So.

60
00:04:20.760 --> 00:04:29.170
Andrew's iPhone: Cause. I I was trying to give you some advice last night, saying like, just try and leave a few spots in the middle free, because you don't quite know what's gonna come near the end, and.

61
00:04:29.170 --> 00:04:29.660
Alternate Line: Yeah.

62
00:04:29.660 --> 00:04:35.289
Andrew's iPhone: But I I realise when you're in the middle of it, as I'm going, as I'm about to find out when you're in the middle of it. It's not like.

63
00:04:35.290 --> 00:04:46.302
Alternate Line: Well, this one, I think this one is actually a nice. This is a nice task. I don't think this is a particularly difficult one. Right? So I'm just gonna ask you to blind rank this diverse

64
00:04:46.780 --> 00:04:50.470
Alternate Line: mix of popular 90 s songs across different genres.

65
00:04:50.630 --> 00:05:14.699
Alternate Line: Okay? So it's popular. 90 songs through a variety of different genres. Alright. So there's no rhyme nor reason to. There's nothing connecting these in any way or whatever apart from. They were all released in the 19 nineties. Okay, and I've got the little admin note. I've got a little chat thing on Zoom, so I'll I'll I'll keep a note of what you're doing as you do it, so you can. So you can see it visually. If that makes sense.

66
00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:15.160
Andrew's iPhone: Okay.

67
00:05:15.896 --> 00:05:17.370
Alternate Line: Okay. So

68
00:05:17.900 --> 00:05:19.390
Alternate Line: track number one.

69
00:05:19.570 --> 00:05:21.759
Alternate Line: Nirvana smells like team spirit.

70
00:05:24.010 --> 00:05:27.720
Andrew's iPhone: Oh, well, I think I'll go for

71
00:05:28.760 --> 00:05:30.659
Andrew's iPhone: straight down the middle 5.

72
00:05:30.910 --> 00:05:33.010
Alternate Line: 5. I think everyone goes 5

73
00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:35.210
Alternate Line: with the 1st one. Really, it's a sort of safe place to.

74
00:05:35.210 --> 00:05:35.660
Andrew's iPhone: Okay.

75
00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:40.049
Alternate Line: You never know what's coming next. Okay? Tlc, waterfalls.

77
00:05:46.510 --> 00:05:48.330
Andrew's iPhone: do I like them more than the banner

78
00:05:48.510 --> 00:05:49.583
Andrew's iPhone: I was?

79
00:05:50.180 --> 00:05:54.690
Andrew's iPhone: I probably get more excited to hear waterfalls these days. To be honest, I hear less.

80
00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:57.129
Andrew's iPhone: So I would go 4 for that.

81
00:05:57.130 --> 00:06:00.809

89
00:06:21.950 --> 00:06:27.729
Andrew's iPhone: it's a good track, but it's not a personal favorite of mine, so I would say 7.

00:08:27.820 --> 00:08:36.859

00:11:18.260 --> 00:11:23.280

180
00:11:24.650 --> 00:11:27.000
Alternate Line: proper that really is, isn't it? It's unbelievable.

181
00:11:28.280 --> 00:11:29.930
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, absolutely.

182
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:35.720
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah. I was. And I was kind of given some thoughts on it at like 11 o'clock last night. Just

183
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:38.979
Andrew's iPhone: some quick, pretentious thoughts.

184
00:11:39.510 --> 00:11:40.000
Alternate Line: Well, no!

185
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.800

186
00:11:43.010 --> 00:11:45.369
Alternate Line: I'm fact checking. It is February 2,005.

187
00:11:45.790 --> 00:11:46.630
Andrew's iPhone: Okay.

188
00:11:47.210 --> 00:11:49.629
Andrew's iPhone: I'm pretty sure the album was 2,004. But there we go.

189
00:11:51.730 --> 00:11:59.850
Alternate Line: I I believe you like I'll just. I'll take your word for it. I don't know why I thought it was a bit later than that. Maybe it's just when I was when I discovered it around.

190
00:12:00.536 --> 00:12:01.589
Alternate Line: Right. So

191
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.659

Andrew's iPhone: and Christopher Haddle.

198
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:31.340
Alternate Line: Fair enough. One of these things is not like the others. Is it really because 1 1 of these things is a special.

199
00:12:31.510 --> 00:12:37.560
Alternate Line: a special act for for this podcast and for both of us. So looking forward to talking about Mercury, Rev.

200
00:12:37.850 --> 00:12:38.915
Alternate Line: Shortly,

201
00:12:40.830 --> 00:12:47.010
Alternate Line: But 1st of all, we're off with Mj. Lenderman with the track wristwatch.

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:24.840
Alternate Line: Makes me money.

205
00:13:31.400 --> 00:13:34.569
Alternate Line: So you say, yeah, wasting my!

206
00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:35.349
Alternate Line: I'd still take your amazing grace.

207
00:14:41.260 --> 00:14:43.499
Alternate Line: Give all my money

208
00:14:51.180 --> 00:14:52.680
Alternate Line: will take

209
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:55.190
Alternate Line: pretty face.

210
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:18.570
Alternate Line: Yeah.

211
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.360
Alternate Line: rest.

212
00:16:22.520 --> 00:16:23.760
Alternate Line: Lovely stuff

213
00:16:23.850 --> 00:16:26.540
Alternate Line: from Mg. Lenderman.

214
00:16:26.972 --> 00:16:33.670
Alternate Line: With the track wristwatch. I'm very, very on board with this track really enjoyed it like I like

215
00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:36.192
Alternate Line: so much of it.

216
00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:38.350
Alternate Line: I liked lentics.

217
00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:40.300
Alternate Line: I like the

218
00:16:41.040 --> 00:17:00.920
Alternate Line: I like the general, feel the the the intimate kind of rough, hewn feel of it. Do you think it's got a kind of like almost sort of mid nineties? Kind of, you know. Uk Indie kind of vibe to it a little bit, not the singing so much, but the the track itself a little bit oasisy, almost.

219
00:17:01.252 --> 00:17:19.560
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, I can see that a little bit. There's actually another track on the album. That reminds me very much of an oasis kind of riff, you know, as as roughage going on on this album, and I could definitely see that as well as kind of kind of going in that lineage of

220
00:17:19.790 --> 00:17:24.899
Andrew's iPhone: American Alt rock, you know. Yeah, all the way back to kind of Crazy Horse, Neil. Young

221
00:17:25.069 --> 00:17:29.450
Andrew's iPhone: things that the replacements maybe in the eighties, and then maybe more recently.

222
00:17:29.470 --> 00:17:39.000
Andrew's iPhone: and Jason Molina as well, who had no word before. And but yeah, I can definitely see a bit of that. Natives Uk stuff coming in as well.

223
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:39.700
Alternate Line: For sure.

224
00:17:39.700 --> 00:17:41.000
Andrew's iPhone: And I'm very informative.

225
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.619
Alternate Line: At the moment I would say that

226
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:43.710
Alternate Line: that's deal.

227
00:17:43.910 --> 00:17:49.349
Andrew's iPhone: It is. Yeah. And Mg, Lindeman's very in vogue, I would suggest as well

228
00:17:49.937 --> 00:17:51.549
Andrew's iPhone: as an artist.

229
00:17:51.620 --> 00:17:58.370
Andrew's iPhone: And so I'll give you a little bit of background about him. So Mj. Lindeman is the recording and stage moniker of Jake Lindeman.

230
00:17:59.090 --> 00:18:03.200
Andrew's iPhone: a songwriter, guitarist, and former ice cream shop employee.

231
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:03.800
Alternate Line: Oh!

232
00:18:03.800 --> 00:18:05.590
Andrew's iPhone: From Asheville, North Carolina.

233
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:12.899
Andrew's iPhone: and over like the past 5 years or so, he's built up a reputation audience through his slow releases.

234
00:18:13.300 --> 00:18:18.099
Andrew's iPhone: So in 2,022 he had a acclaimed album called Boat Songs.

235
00:18:18.100 --> 00:18:19.460
Alternate Line: Hmm! I've got that.

236
00:18:19.570 --> 00:18:23.389
Andrew's iPhone: And and he had a killer live record out last year

237
00:18:23.770 --> 00:18:37.220
Andrew's iPhone: called, and the wind live and loose. That's really worth checking out, and as well as that. He's he plays with the group. Wednesday, whose whose album, rats, or god

238
00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:45.460
Andrew's iPhone: was a real favourite for a lot of people last year. And of course we talked about him earlier this year through that collaboration with Waxahachie.

239
00:18:45.810 --> 00:18:57.070
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, track right back to it, which which I was kind of mixed on the album for what she actually, but that that tracks a fantastic track, I think one of kind of 2,020 four's defining songs.

240
00:18:57.150 --> 00:18:58.480
Andrew's iPhone: I think it probably be.

241
00:18:58.930 --> 00:19:00.050
Andrew's iPhone: And

242
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:14.739
Andrew's iPhone: and yeah, he, as I say, kind of works in that kind of old rock American lane. But he's been kind of breaking out of that in terms of the audience he's attracting. And he's a musician and and personality who I think people are really kind of buying into.

243
00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:17.430
Andrew's iPhone: It's almost like kind of avatar for

244
00:19:17.670 --> 00:19:28.680
Andrew's iPhone: kind of 2024 mindset, almost. I've seen people just posting like pictures of them on on Twitter and Instagram, with just like the word mood over the top. They just.

245
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.410
Alternate Line: As well.

246
00:19:29.410 --> 00:19:32.549
Andrew's iPhone: Is a figure that that people are kind of gravitating towards.

247
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.920
Andrew's iPhone: And and this album has been getting really incredibly positive reviews.

248
00:19:37.950 --> 00:19:41.810
Andrew's iPhone: Slim came out a couple of weeks ago. It's called Manning fireworks.

249
00:19:42.300 --> 00:19:51.100
Andrew's iPhone: And yeah, there's just a kind of feeling of of him, kind of going up a level with this album. I think he's kind of you almost can imagine being lifted up in some kind of

250
00:19:51.110 --> 00:19:52.980
Andrew's iPhone: imaginary pedestal.

251
00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:56.540
Andrew's iPhone: And with this by this increased fan base. And

252
00:19:56.770 --> 00:20:01.550
Andrew's iPhone: yeah, I think people are kind of really kind of buying into, as I say, as as a as a kind of

253
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:18.767
Andrew's iPhone: generational type artist. And that's that's an exciting but kind of potentially dangerous place to be. Yeah, I would suggest, I like people more recently like Father John, Misty and Mitsky have kind of found that like, you know, it can be quite a lot of pressure to to kind of bear. But

254
00:20:19.090 --> 00:20:25.939
Alternate Line: Feel a little bit like those 2 potentially can disappear up their own backsides a little bit, though.

255
00:20:25.940 --> 00:20:26.389
Andrew's iPhone: True. Yeah.

256
00:20:26.390 --> 00:20:30.809
Alternate Line: Little on the pretentious side, and so they don't wear it that lightly.

257
00:20:30.970 --> 00:20:31.450
Alternate Line: But again.

258
00:20:31.450 --> 00:20:40.820
Andrew's iPhone: I guess that's what I mean. But one of the kind of dangers is that maybe you know, maybe he might believe his own hype a little bit, because everything about him at the moment is very kind of

259
00:20:41.800 --> 00:20:43.720
Andrew's iPhone: cool and considered, and.

260
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:44.180
Alternate Line: Yeah.

261
00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:48.570
Andrew's iPhone: But but just just very much himself. It feels that feels very natural.

262
00:20:48.860 --> 00:20:50.770
Andrew's iPhone: And so hopefully, that continues.

263
00:20:51.547 --> 00:20:58.310
Andrew's iPhone: and yeah, I mean, when we were talking about that Waxahachie album tigers blood. I said that I found it very pleasant.

264
00:20:58.610 --> 00:21:05.570
Andrew's iPhone: but I was left a little bit unmoved and a little bit nonplussed by just how positive the the reaction was to that.

265
00:21:05.570 --> 00:21:06.290
Alternate Line: Yeah, yeah.

266
00:21:06.290 --> 00:21:15.439
Andrew's iPhone: And part of me feels a little bit the same with Mg. Lindeman, because I think it's maybe just that style of music is just never going to be my absolute favorite thing.

267
00:21:15.490 --> 00:21:20.940
Andrew's iPhone: But there's just so much more about this record, I think, in terms of the personality.

268
00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:27.999
Andrew's iPhone: There's so much personality here. There's so much humor and the lyrics, as you said, and there's a real kind of emotional undertow

269
00:21:28.448 --> 00:21:33.700
Andrew's iPhone: which comes through a lot more strongly and persuasively, I think, than in the Waxahachi record. So

270
00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:45.560
Andrew's iPhone: so yeah, I'm I'm really enjoying this track and this album and many of the songs are kind of populated with these flawed, slightly slobby, emotionally stunted characters.

271
00:21:45.970 --> 00:21:47.559
Andrew's iPhone: They're kind of a bit like

272
00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:49.530
Andrew's iPhone: less freaky versions of

273
00:21:49.580 --> 00:21:53.780
Andrew's iPhone: the character that was in that Geordie gree song from a few weeks ago. You know these.

274
00:21:53.780 --> 00:21:54.430
Alternate Line: Yeah.

275
00:21:54.430 --> 00:22:05.799
Andrew's iPhone: It's kind of delusional types, and and I think he he kind of sketch. Mg. Lyndham has got a real skill for kind of sketching these characters with with great economy and skill.

276
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:06.420
Andrew's iPhone: I think.

277
00:22:06.420 --> 00:22:14.749
Alternate Line: Yeah, I think you're talking. You're you're right on the things I was going to say here with these lyrics like, it's just, it's like it touches on these.

278
00:22:15.170 --> 00:22:16.649
Alternate Line: you know, kind of

279
00:22:16.820 --> 00:22:25.958
Alternate Line: modern pitfalls. Type of issues with with a good bit of humor, I would say in this, in this track, and obviously the the the

280
00:22:26.600 --> 00:22:32.810
Alternate Line: The group. Was it Gordie? Was it called Geordie Gordie?

281
00:22:32.810 --> 00:22:34.030
Andrew's iPhone: Jordi creep.

282
00:22:34.030 --> 00:22:49.789
Alternate Line: That's easy for me to say like that was very wetty, but it was very intense and full on, whereas this is basically telling the same story, but it wears it very lightly and with a bit more, but not not more humor, but kind of like more relaxed humor.

283
00:22:50.910 --> 00:22:56.049
Alternate Line: so lines like I've got a houseboat docked at the himbo dome

284
00:22:56.428 --> 00:23:12.330
Alternate Line: sort of like a kind of crossover of like the the concept of a himbo and sort of male male bimbo kind of thing and a hippodrome like a big sort of massive stadium or whatever. And then and but then there's a sweet line like a wrist watch that tells me I'm on my own

285
00:23:12.639 --> 00:23:19.880
Alternate Line: so like it's quite a sad little like, you know, got really excited. I've got a rolex, but I've got but no pals, you know.

286
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:20.230
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah.

287
00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:25.622
Alternate Line: So it's it's it's a clever. It's a clever a clever lyric, I would say

288
00:23:26.020 --> 00:23:28.299
Alternate Line: And and wears itself quite lightly, so.

289
00:23:29.550 --> 00:23:43.170
Andrew's iPhone: Definitely, definitely a a time. And again, you kind of get that. So there's like a sense that these are characters. But the characters that he kind of relates to, and there's like always a kind of pang of regret or pain or sadness that bleeds through on the tracks.

290
00:23:43.310 --> 00:23:48.240
Andrew's iPhone: and and often those feelings are kind of always punctuated by these crunchy.

291
00:23:48.300 --> 00:23:51.170
Andrew's iPhone: expertly play guitar solos like you get on this track.

292
00:23:51.170 --> 00:23:51.880
Alternate Line: Good survey.

293
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:53.460
Andrew's iPhone: And so, yeah, so

294
00:23:53.470 --> 00:23:55.449
Andrew's iPhone: it's, it's really well done. And.

295
00:23:55.450 --> 00:24:02.930
Alternate Line: The character that the guitar tones are like really gritty on this really raw which is obviously kind of like

296
00:24:03.150 --> 00:24:11.219
Alternate Line: what you would expect in Lo-fi Indie all country kind of stuff, and slightly distorted, unpolished.

297
00:24:11.561 --> 00:24:19.510
Alternate Line: But, like I said at the beginning, here, it makes the the thing feel like intimate to me. It's kind of like deliberately

298
00:24:19.570 --> 00:24:20.880
Alternate Line: unrefined.

299
00:24:22.470 --> 00:24:23.959
Alternate Line: and it's here. It's

300
00:24:24.120 --> 00:24:26.769
Alternate Line: it's probably really like slacker kind of

301
00:24:26.850 --> 00:24:30.809
Alternate Line: rock kind of thing, you know something beck might be proud of.

302
00:24:31.970 --> 00:24:33.400
Andrew's iPhone: Definitely definitely.

303
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:34.340
Alternate Line: From a summit.

304
00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:41.939
Andrew's iPhone: And I'd really recommend people checking out the album if they haven't already. So I mean, it starts very, very strongly. There's like a run

305
00:24:42.100 --> 00:24:57.929
Andrew's iPhone: starting at track I mean the track track. One's good, but track 2 joke lips through Rudolph, through rush walks, through. She's leaving you, and which which is the kind of track that I think maybe most people have been drawn to on the record. I mean that that's a really strong.

306
00:24:58.100 --> 00:25:05.959
Andrew's iPhone: Everyone has tracks at the heart of the record, and it tails off a little bit towards the end for me. But yeah, it's still still a very good album.

307
00:25:06.170 --> 00:25:08.659
Andrew's iPhone: And all the way through. He's got these

308
00:25:08.800 --> 00:25:21.839
Andrew's iPhone: really kind of witty and quirky, a lot of cool details all the way through that. That really kind of plant it in the here and now, or or certainly within his his era, those kind of references to dui scooters and guitar hero.

309
00:25:22.050 --> 00:25:26.100
Andrew's iPhone: There's 1 that talks about Lightning Mcqueen from the Pixar movie cars.

310
00:25:26.100 --> 00:25:29.309
Alternate Line: Have you seen that a few times recently, Carlos, have you.

311
00:25:32.820 --> 00:25:34.700
Andrew's iPhone: I draw the line at planes, but I like cars.

312
00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:36.589
Alternate Line: Yeah, fair enough.

313
00:25:36.590 --> 00:25:45.449
Andrew's iPhone: So so yeah, so so as I say, it's kind of it's kind of carrying carrying that kind of American oat rock torch.

314
00:25:45.730 --> 00:25:50.299
Andrew's iPhone: But it's gonna bring it up to date as well. Yeah. And yeah.

315
00:25:50.540 --> 00:25:50.890
Alternate Line: Good.

316
00:25:50.890 --> 00:25:52.060
Andrew's iPhone: I would recommend what.

317
00:25:52.060 --> 00:26:07.047
Alternate Line: I I highly recommend the track from both of us. I I think we I can see you've got some slight reservations, but you know it's still worth checking out this this track, and I'll I'll be getting into records the previous records. both songs I thought was very good, so.

318
00:26:08.070 --> 00:26:19.041
Alternate Line: I don't know where wired boat songs you must have told me. I listen to it. That's the only this is the only way I can think of it, we didn't review it, and did. We didn't have it on a previous show. No? Oh, well,

319
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:37.070
Alternate Line: Guess I just must have my ear to the ground for all the the latest things. Probably not. I'm just told me what to do. Probably that's that's the truth. Right? Okay, so that takes us on to our second new track of the week.

320
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:44.045
Alternate Line: with a much beloved Mercury. Rev. And I guess the question is, are we, looking at a kind of

321
00:26:45.490 --> 00:26:50.860
Alternate Line: happy to turn with mercury rave, or perhaps not so much. Well, let's find out. Here we go.

322
00:27:06.190 --> 00:27:09.279
Alternate Line: Been a bird of no address.

323
00:27:09.410 --> 00:27:12.400
Alternate Line: Ever since the day you left

324
00:27:12.670 --> 00:27:16.249
Alternate Line: been so long I could almost forgive, but not yet.

325
00:27:19.630 --> 00:27:21.939
Alternate Line: Hair burned with cigarettes.

326
00:27:22.730 --> 00:27:25.450
Alternate Line: Your voice turned inside my head

327
00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:29.429
Alternate Line: gotten songs on an old cassette. Well, come on.

328
00:27:31.850 --> 00:27:32.560
Alternate Line: but come on.

329
00:27:35.120 --> 00:27:35.930
Alternate Line: come on!

330
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:48.379
Alternate Line: The sky for days on air.

331
00:27:49.270 --> 00:27:51.919
Alternate Line: as far away as I could get

332
00:27:52.540 --> 00:27:53.939
Alternate Line: lost among the clouds.

333
00:27:54.710 --> 00:27:55.409
Alternate Line: missed and

334
00:27:59.830 --> 00:28:01.949
Alternate Line: down and caught my breath.

335
00:28:02.710 --> 00:28:05.199
Alternate Line: Shadows turn to silhouette

336
00:28:05.950 --> 00:28:08.739
Alternate Line: 1 million other birds without an address.

337
00:28:14.010 --> 00:28:15.220
Alternate Line: No one.

338
00:28:16.230 --> 00:28:18.560
Alternate Line: ever since the day you left

339
00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:21.920
Alternate Line: been so long. I wanna forget

340
00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:28.270
Alternate Line: no regret

341
00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:31.929
Alternate Line: where our feathers turn to flesh.

342
00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:34.850
Alternate Line: See no reason to come down

343
00:28:53.890 --> 00:28:54.959
Alternate Line: full of gray.

344
00:28:56.040 --> 00:28:57.239
Alternate Line: I get the feeling.

345
00:28:57.760 --> 00:28:58.560
Alternate Line: Say.

346
00:28:59.410 --> 00:29:02.679
Alternate Line: would you come down to take my place? Well, come on

347
00:29:07.310 --> 00:29:08.870
Alternate Line: to forget.

348
00:29:09.420 --> 00:29:12.260
Alternate Line: Hands turned to bayones.

349
00:29:12.630 --> 00:29:16.199
Alternate Line: drinks for all my imaginary friends. Come on.

350
00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:21.969
Alternate Line: I've been a bird of Noah dress

351
00:29:22.870 --> 00:29:24.210
Alternate Line: ever since

352
00:29:26.080 --> 00:29:29.430
Alternate Line: been so long. I wanna forget, but not yet.

353
00:29:37.030 --> 00:29:37.750
Alternate Line: Who's turn?

354
00:29:39.390 --> 00:29:41.499
Alternate Line: I see no reason to come down

355
00:30:58.360 --> 00:31:03.420
Alternate Line: alright. So there we go. Mercury. Rev. Pod. Favorites Mercury. Rev.

356
00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:06.009
Alternate Line: A. Bird of no address. Is this

357
00:31:06.190 --> 00:31:12.630
Alternate Line: a staggering return to greatness, or is this just staggeringly bad? Andrew, do tell.

358
00:31:14.660 --> 00:31:18.889
Andrew's iPhone: Well, I certainly had trepidation when this project was 1st announced, because.

359
00:31:19.290 --> 00:31:23.990
Andrew's iPhone: well, 1st of all, 1st of all, there was the artwork in the typeface which was

360
00:31:24.270 --> 00:31:30.489
Andrew's iPhone: deliberately, and some would suggest, cynically designed to evoke their classic

361
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.609
Andrew's iPhone: 1,998 masterpiece

362
00:31:33.620 --> 00:31:41.249
Andrew's iPhone: desert songs which we've talked about before on the podcast you know, and you you evoke that at your peril. And

363
00:31:41.310 --> 00:31:56.810
Andrew's iPhone: and then there was the news that that lead singer, Jonathan, Donaghy, was swapping his distinctive, high pitched vocals for some spoken word narration, and I remember, like sending you a message at the time, and like kind of like

364
00:31:57.090 --> 00:32:07.569
Andrew's iPhone: wondering and being concerned that this change was maybe not of necessity, or like a artistic choice, but perhaps signalled that he'd that his voice had kind of given up the ghost. Kind of thing.

365
00:32:07.570 --> 00:32:08.210
Alternate Line: Yeah.

366
00:32:10.450 --> 00:32:20.320
Andrew's iPhone: on that he, Donahue. Donahue's explanation was that he said, when I opened my my voice to sing on this record. This was the bird that sang

367
00:32:20.360 --> 00:32:25.680
Andrew's iPhone: a lower whiskey whiskey voice, which surprised me as much as it may others.

368
00:32:25.710 --> 00:32:31.379
Andrew's iPhone: I don't know where the bird originated, but it's there now, and I don't question it. It's just the bird that wants to sing.

369
00:32:31.610 --> 00:32:37.959
Andrew's iPhone: And and you get a lot of that on this record. This is actually one of the few tracks in the record where he's actually

370
00:32:38.150 --> 00:32:41.900
Andrew's iPhone: and he actually sings as well as does that kind of whisper.

371
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:44.790
Andrew's iPhone: And

372
00:32:45.210 --> 00:32:48.480
Andrew's iPhone: yeah, I mean, you're asking. Is it a return to form? Is it

373
00:32:48.580 --> 00:32:57.039
Andrew's iPhone: a disaster? I'd say it's probably somewhere in the middle, and probably get into that a little bit. And what about you? But where do you kind of stand on it?

374
00:32:57.210 --> 00:32:58.836
Alternate Line: Well, I

375
00:33:00.700 --> 00:33:10.989
Alternate Line: I think I was gonna say famously, but there's nothing famously, with anecdote I'm about to share here. But when I 1st heard Mercury Rev. Away back in 1,998 or 1,999.

376
00:33:11.040 --> 00:33:35.115
Alternate Line: It did take me a a bit to. I mean, I was a kid at the time, obviously, but it didn't. It didn't immediately land on me like, Oh, my God! All of this is a genius. It took a minute to work on me, and then I sort of came to understand it almost over like years, like I would. Still, I was still listening to that record. In 2,001, 2,002, and I then I really started to realise how good it was.

377
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:43.320
Alternate Line: and over time my fondness for it has has really grown so. I was. I was perfectly calm when I heard this the 1st time.

378
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:46.109
Alternate Line: to almost like not review it.

379
00:33:46.320 --> 00:34:02.659
Alternate Line: and to just let it wash. And then I've listened to this track a bunch this week, and I have to say I've I've come on the on the side of. I think it's really good. I think it is not necessarily the term to form. I think it is an attempt to do something.

380
00:34:03.310 --> 00:34:09.642
Alternate Line: I was, gonna say, do something different. But it's it's not that different. But it's an attempt to do something kind of

381
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.460
Alternate Line: new, with an eye on what worked really well in the past.

382
00:34:14.460 --> 00:34:15.130
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah.

383
00:34:15.130 --> 00:34:17.340
Alternate Line: Diplomatic way of putting it.

384
00:34:17.380 --> 00:34:18.909
Alternate Line: I think the thing

385
00:34:19.429 --> 00:34:33.659
Alternate Line: that I like best about it is the last 30 to 45 seconds of the track when it really goes up tempo, and it goes into it, goes to a new place, and it does, for want of a better phrase, take flight. Yes, I think there's a lot of

386
00:34:34.060 --> 00:34:51.049
Alternate Line: a lot of slow build, and before you get there but not but I think I like that about it. Now I think I've come to look sort of luxury in the in the cam, and there are things I don't particularly like about this track which I've I would never really have accused Mercury of before.

387
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:52.360
Alternate Line: but

388
00:34:52.670 --> 00:34:54.760
Alternate Line: I think the lyrics are just

389
00:34:55.580 --> 00:35:01.680
Alternate Line: really on the nose and really kind of like simplistic. I don't find a lot of like

390
00:35:01.790 --> 00:35:13.670
Alternate Line: depth or complexity to them. I know you've got the sort of bird imagery which is just getting sort of mashed into your head. So I'm not in love with the lyrics thinking about simplistic, but they do match the overall

391
00:35:14.170 --> 00:35:16.972
Alternate Line: feeling of the track and on

392
00:35:17.810 --> 00:35:19.880
Alternate Line: Jonathan's voice here as well.

393
00:35:20.180 --> 00:35:24.859
Alternate Line: There's some kind of effect, particularly like right early in the track.

394
00:35:25.560 --> 00:35:33.010
Alternate Line: I don't think they're massively off putting. I just I just don't love it, and I just think the classic mercury of sound is

395
00:35:33.130 --> 00:35:35.940
Alternate Line: is around his voice. And, like you said, the sort of

396
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:41.779
Alternate Line: higher higher range stuff the full set of stuff. Now, if he's not going to do that, that's fine, right? We'll we all

397
00:35:41.830 --> 00:35:50.620
Alternate Line: get older, and it's it's hard to do, or whatever. He's trying something new, which is fine. I don't. I like the vocal performance here just very specifically, not in love with the vocal effect.

398
00:35:51.521 --> 00:35:53.530
Alternate Line: I just find it a bit kind of

399
00:35:53.630 --> 00:36:03.380
Alternate Line: it. It kind of mutes him a little bit, or like distorts him just a little bit too much, and I'd just prefer for it not to be there. I'm aware that that's an I'm

400
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:06.920
Alternate Line: a wild musil nitpick, so I do apologize for that. No

401
00:36:07.240 --> 00:36:08.270
Andrew's iPhone: Good. That's what we do.

402
00:36:08.838 --> 00:36:14.981
Alternate Line: But on the whole, I do like this and I hadn't heard

403
00:36:15.460 --> 00:36:18.523
Alternate Line: anything else. I think there's another. There's another single out.

404
00:36:18.830 --> 00:36:19.160
Andrew's iPhone: Harry.

405
00:36:19.160 --> 00:36:22.519
Alternate Line: Been another track kicking about already.

406
00:36:22.520 --> 00:36:23.789
Andrew's iPhone: Know the albums out there.

407
00:36:23.990 --> 00:36:40.800
Alternate Line: The album's out now, but I think there was another track out. Previously I hadn't listened to any of the rest of it. I've only listened to this so far. But now I'm thinking, okay, I'm quite comfortable going to listen to to porn horses now, because I think if it's all a bit like this. I will enjoy it on the whole. But whether I come to love it.

408
00:36:40.820 --> 00:36:45.129
Alternate Line: I think, is an entirely different matter, but but it's but it's good, but it's good.

409
00:36:46.410 --> 00:37:00.420
Andrew's iPhone: Good. Yeah. So as you say, born horses is the album. So it's the 9th record. And it's the 1st album of original material. In 9 years since the light, and you in 2,015.

410
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:01.590
Andrew's iPhone: And

411
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:03.320
Andrew's iPhone: there was the

412
00:37:03.630 --> 00:37:12.456
Andrew's iPhone: the reimagined version of the Bobby Gentry Album Delta Sweet, and that they did in between times, and on that record they were

413
00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:20.860
Andrew's iPhone: collaborating with different female vocalists on each track. So I don't again. Maybe that's a kind of sign that Jonathan's not

414
00:37:21.300 --> 00:37:31.960
Andrew's iPhone: completely happy with his voice, you know, as it was, or or just singing by himself, maybe, but that was that was a nice record as well, and they've

415
00:37:32.220 --> 00:37:40.590
Andrew's iPhone: it's the the 2 original members, Jonathan and Grasshopper, who are being backed here by Jesse Chandler and Marion Gensler.

416
00:37:41.270 --> 00:37:46.199
Andrew's iPhone: who who are now permanent members, and it was a bit of a surprise to me that

417
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:52.069
Andrew's iPhone: that it's over a decade since they've worked with Dave Fridman, so he's he's he doesn't work with them anymore.

418
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:57.580
Andrew's iPhone: And so this was a self produced record. And so that was a bit of a surprise.

419
00:37:57.580 --> 00:38:02.019
Alternate Line: I think I think that I didn't mention it. I knew that as well, but I think I really think you can tell.

420
00:38:02.310 --> 00:38:06.570
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, yeah, it does have a different feel to it. And it's maybe a little bit more

421
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:15.170
Andrew's iPhone: powered back a little bit. Well, certainly, compared to kind of the full beans from the front from Fred. I think it's also quite.

422
00:38:15.170 --> 00:38:20.712
Alternate Line: MORI would say, it's it's much more middle of the road than say something like

423
00:38:21.330 --> 00:38:36.199
Alternate Line: like the set of songs where the production was was really really clever on that as well, and I've not listened to the record, but the the track listing of the set of songs as we discussed way back in time on our on our podcast was actually quite varied.

424
00:38:36.220 --> 00:38:51.599
Alternate Line: So they're sort of known for these like big ethereal ballads. But actually, there's a bunch of just random stuff on there as well, which is very different, and which is one of the things that makes desert songs. Such a good record! This does feel quite middle of the road. I think the drums, the piano, and the strings

425
00:38:51.700 --> 00:38:55.350
Alternate Line: feel very much like they could come out of like. I don't know.

426
00:38:56.140 --> 00:38:58.319
Alternate Line: It could come up. It could be on a Disney

427
00:38:58.600 --> 00:39:01.890
Alternate Line: film album almost. Do you know what I mean? Like? It's that kind of thing.

428
00:39:01.890 --> 00:39:02.470
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah.

429
00:39:03.040 --> 00:39:06.529
Alternate Line: I don't mean I actually don't mean that necessarily as a a

430
00:39:06.990 --> 00:39:10.050
Alternate Line: as an insult, just as an almost like a kind of

431
00:39:10.260 --> 00:39:11.629
Alternate Line: but trying to

432
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:17.399
Alternate Line: scrabble about for a simile. Really, that's that's what I'm looking for. There. It's it's so

433
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:24.676
Alternate Line: middle of the road. But I think it's I think it's just on the right side of charming. I would say,

434
00:39:25.070 --> 00:39:35.359
Alternate Line: But yeah, desert songs had that kind of like white, wide eyed kind of innocent stuff, but it had to sort of you knew there was a kind of dirty, grimy thing.

435
00:39:35.470 --> 00:39:44.469
Alternate Line: Bugs splattering on glass somewhere in the background is this just might be just a bit too clean. I think that's maybe would be my big kind of

436
00:39:44.520 --> 00:39:46.990
Alternate Line: overall critique of this song.

437
00:39:48.060 --> 00:40:05.489
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, I can. I can see that. You know. I think it's you know, it's kind of middle, maybe middle of the road middle age kind of record. But, as you say, there's there's enough charm. And I think there's enough kind of class that comes through on this record. And because I'm so invested with this group. I kind of

438
00:40:06.200 --> 00:40:09.129
Andrew's iPhone: forgive them some of that stuff, you know. There was a really kind of

439
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:28.089
Andrew's iPhone: really kind of cruel review on pitchfork for the for this record. Think it got like 4.5 or something like that pitchfork. And and the reviewer on that just didn't go on with it at all, and I can understand that if if you're not going to buy into it, then it then maybe you know this kind of simplistic lyrics, or the, as you say, the kind of.

440
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:46.330
Andrew's iPhone: and some of the instrumentation might might just not have that magic for you. But yeah, and no, I think I'm I'm pleased that they're still doing their thing. And and I mean this this record. It kind of plays like a like a song cycle. Almost so a lot of the the tracks can

441
00:40:46.710 --> 00:40:53.200
Andrew's iPhone: run into each other. And I just think it's it's a nice place to spend, you know, 40 min of your time.

442
00:40:53.280 --> 00:41:06.349
Andrew's iPhone: and there's a track called Mood swings that that opens the record and is a really kind of effective tone. Setter. You could tell they're inspired by sketches of Spain, either. Miles Davis, on that record. Then it's got some lovely kind of saxophone and stuff like that in there.

443
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:16.810
Andrew's iPhone: There's there's ones, where, like a Jonathan's really kind of hamming up the narration, and really kind of channellings in a Thespian, there's 1 called your Hammer my Heart, which he's really going for it.

444
00:41:17.010 --> 00:41:23.940
Andrew's iPhone: And and then there's a track called. There's always been a bird in me which for some reason, just I find kind of funny title.

445
00:41:26.070 --> 00:41:26.570
Andrew's iPhone: but

446
00:41:27.350 --> 00:41:35.989
Andrew's iPhone: yeah, I don't know. As I say, it's like a long time for this group. I like this record. It's not groundbreaking. It's not going to convert anybody that isn't already on board, but.

447
00:41:35.990 --> 00:41:36.740
Alternate Line: No.

448
00:41:36.740 --> 00:41:39.839
Andrew's iPhone: And but I like the fact that they're still

449
00:41:39.850 --> 00:41:47.170
Andrew's iPhone: doing the thing I mean. Jonathan's always kind of had that kind of earnest, very earnest, very kind of overly sincere way of looking at the world.

450
00:41:47.860 --> 00:41:51.609
Andrew's iPhone: and it will be try or grading if you don't want to. But.

451
00:41:52.220 --> 00:42:00.439
Andrew's iPhone: as I say, I'm I'm I'm pleased that they're doing their thing, and I'm sure the kind of upcoming live shows will be really enjoyable as well.

452
00:42:00.640 --> 00:42:01.620
Andrew's iPhone: And

453
00:42:02.330 --> 00:42:03.360
Andrew's iPhone: yeah. So.

454
00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:08.029
Alternate Line: Yeah, I feel a wee bit. We're both in the same spot here where we kind of know.

455
00:42:08.410 --> 00:42:09.350
Alternate Line: like.

456
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:21.180
Alternate Line: we're sort of almost like apologising for this a little bit like we want it to be kind of just a bit better than it is, but I think that I'm ultimately in the same spot you are like. There's not many of the.

457
00:42:21.520 --> 00:42:38.570
Alternate Line: you know. The great bands that we like turned us on to music, you know, years and years and years ago, like 2526 years ago, who are still regularly making records. So it's good to. It's good to see them about where the flaming lips is my question. That's what they do.

458
00:42:38.710 --> 00:42:40.389
Alternate Line: Denada. I think at the moment.

459
00:42:40.390 --> 00:42:43.430
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah. Well, I think they're about to go out and tour.

460
00:42:43.540 --> 00:42:49.429
Andrew's iPhone: you know, 20 years of you see me, or 25 years, or you see me, or whatever. So you know, that's kind of what they're doing just now. So.

461
00:42:49.860 --> 00:42:50.340
Alternate Line: Shashima.

462
00:42:50.340 --> 00:42:52.040
Andrew's iPhone: Like you're ever kind of looking forward.

463
00:42:52.490 --> 00:42:54.590
Alternate Line: This is true, this is true, but I mean

464
00:42:56.020 --> 00:43:00.440
Alternate Line: I don't know if I'd recorded Yoshima 25 years ago, I might be quite willing to go out and

465
00:43:00.780 --> 00:43:08.127
Alternate Line: weed in a big pile of cash and roll out and roll about in a big zorb inside, you know loads of money inside it, or something.

466
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:12.259
Alternate Line: Is that their biggest record that the most commercial record, Eugemini, biggest hit.

467
00:43:12.260 --> 00:43:15.480
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, I do, you realize, just.

468
00:43:15.670 --> 00:43:15.990
Alternate Line: Yeah.

469
00:43:15.990 --> 00:43:17.049
Andrew's iPhone: Huge song for them. Yeah.

470
00:43:17.050 --> 00:43:23.580
Alternate Line: Yeah, the record afterwards with the yeah. Yeah. So on. It was probably quite a big hit as well, actually, but maybe not to the same.

471
00:43:23.750 --> 00:43:25.399
Alternate Line: It's not the same size.

472
00:43:26.670 --> 00:43:46.330
Alternate Line: anyway, that's enough of that. Good. Okay. So next up we have nala sinefro with continuum one longer track this one ironically, from an album called Endlessness. And is it anything you want to do? You want to set us up with this one? It feels like it might require a wee bit. If that's all right.

473
00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:49.550
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, I can do. I mean.

474
00:43:51.100 --> 00:43:55.279
Andrew's iPhone: Her last record was called space 1.8,

475
00:43:55.450 --> 00:43:57.869
Andrew's iPhone: and it was a record that I didn't

476
00:43:57.940 --> 00:44:06.379
Andrew's iPhone: spend enough time with at the time I think I had. It was the same year the floating points record with Pharaoh Sanders came out.

477
00:44:06.570 --> 00:44:13.030
Andrew's iPhone: and I thought that there was only space in my life for one ambient electronic jazz in multiple parts.

478
00:44:13.110 --> 00:44:15.940
Andrew's iPhone: And so I kind of yeah.

479
00:44:15.940 --> 00:44:17.610
Alternate Line: That's a reasonable conclusion to come to.

480
00:44:17.610 --> 00:44:18.600
Andrew's iPhone: Concerns me out there.

481
00:44:20.673 --> 00:44:26.000
Andrew's iPhone: But but I I spent the kind of following year really kind of getting into that record.

482
00:44:26.160 --> 00:44:29.420
Andrew's iPhone: And then, now we've got the follow up.

483
00:44:29.470 --> 00:44:34.655
Andrew's iPhone: And and again this, this record

484
00:44:36.290 --> 00:44:56.080
Andrew's iPhone: works. It kind of consists of 10 pieces, and they're all titled continuum one to continuum 10. So there's 10 tracks. And then these 10 continuums, if you like. And, as you say, the the album is a endlessness. So it's so. Yeah, there's there's something kind of cyclical, cyclical going on here. There's

485
00:44:56.110 --> 00:45:19.120
Andrew's iPhone: and motifs that return and and disappear, and then come back again. And there's a series of of really Shithoc musicians that that analysis got in to to play on different tracks. And so yeah, so so electronic jazz multiple movements. And this is the 1st movement. This is the 1st continuum, if you like.

486
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:23.149
Andrew's iPhone: And and yeah, just just waiting this 7 min.

487
00:45:24.530 --> 00:45:26.030
Alternate Line: Backstroke. Here we go.

488
00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:22.030
Alternate Line: no

489
00:49:04.250 --> 00:49:05.050
Alternate Line: to

490
00:52:40.430 --> 00:52:44.939
Alternate Line: alright. So there is, continuum one

491
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:54.649
Alternate Line: from Nila Snefro's endlessness record. I think it was good for you to contextualize that before we listen to it. I feel like with the 1st 2 tracks were

492
00:52:54.860 --> 00:52:56.750
Alternate Line: squarely in the

493
00:52:56.770 --> 00:53:04.037
Alternate Line: Songs territory. And then we're not. We're not really in the Song Territory. We're in this something else. Territory.

494
00:53:05.650 --> 00:53:09.296
Alternate Line: Well, I don't even really know where to begin with that, to be honest, like

495
00:53:10.810 --> 00:53:18.479
Alternate Line: it's really good. It's really, it's really, really, really good piece of music. It's it just

496
00:53:19.340 --> 00:53:21.919
Alternate Line: to me. The 1st thing it speaks to me about is.

497
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:25.819
Alternate Line: where do you want? Where do you want music to fit in in your life?

498
00:53:26.010 --> 00:53:35.769
Alternate Line: That's the 1st thing it makes me think about. And it literally. I I know I'm saying the most obvious things, but literally everyone who listens to music

499
00:53:36.170 --> 00:53:39.680
Alternate Line: uses it for slightly different purposes. Like.

500
00:53:39.720 --> 00:53:42.230
Alternate Line: you're one of the few people I know. Andrew, who like.

501
00:53:42.680 --> 00:53:47.000
Alternate Line: I think, like the I know person that sets aside time to go and

502
00:53:47.110 --> 00:53:52.769
Alternate Line: specifically listen to music, and do very little else other than think about it, and and cogitate on it.

503
00:53:53.127 --> 00:54:06.792
Alternate Line: Whereas most folk I think these days are, you know, the music they hear is on Tiktok or the it's in TV shows, or it's whether at the gym or while they're making the dinner. Or you know, whatever it's in video games.

504
00:54:07.500 --> 00:54:14.394
Alternate Line: this analysis track here. And I really want to listen to the records. I just haven't yet.

505
00:54:15.140 --> 00:54:29.949
Alternate Line: doesn't feel like it fits all that well in with those things. It feels like it fits very well in with how you listen to it, where you know you sit down. And you're like, right? I'm gonna actually give this. Give this some thought. I mean, yeah, you could have this in the background of whatever you're doing. But you won't. You won't catch the

506
00:54:30.410 --> 00:54:37.329
Alternate Line: the fine, the fine details of what's actually going on here. It's really

507
00:54:37.700 --> 00:54:38.880
Alternate Line: simple

508
00:54:39.690 --> 00:54:42.640
Alternate Line: and yet like endlessly complicated

509
00:54:43.076 --> 00:54:58.700
Alternate Line: and it's 1 of the the pieces of music like I mean, I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I've put 2 records like I've I've I've made music a lot with different bands and stuff like that. I've absolutely no idea how that was made. I couldn't even begin to tell you how that was made

510
00:54:58.940 --> 00:55:04.858
Alternate Line: was the 1st thing that goes down there. What's the what's the 1st sound they record there since probably

511
00:55:05.350 --> 00:55:11.419
Alternate Line: but it's it's just it's the the speed with which it moves through. So I'm talking a lot here. This is the.

512
00:55:11.420 --> 00:55:12.039
Andrew's iPhone: No, it's it!

513
00:55:12.040 --> 00:55:38.209
Alternate Line: It's got me going is the speed through which it moves through all its ideas like it never really settles on any one particular idea for any more than 15 to 20 seconds. And as you're listening, and you're enjoying the little tastes of this thing or that thing, or that's those drums are good and the synth is good. Okay, that's actually quite interesting. And before you know where you are, it's it's the patterns. Change the instrumentations, changed the moods, the tempo. It's just through us

514
00:55:38.420 --> 00:55:44.329
Alternate Line: fairly long. 7 min running time. There, it's constantly shifting.

515
00:55:45.260 --> 00:55:47.619
Alternate Line: You expect this type of music, I think, to be

516
00:55:47.860 --> 00:55:50.030
Alternate Line: repetitive. It's not.

517
00:55:50.380 --> 00:56:03.950
Alternate Line: It's not in the slightest. It's it's taking a sort of one kind of arpeggio idea and just yanking it and twisting it and pulling it and playing with it over and over and over again. And I've said a lot. You know what you you can tell already. I think.

518
00:56:03.950 --> 00:56:12.079
Andrew's iPhone: No, yeah, I'm loving it. I'm loving it. Yeah, I mean, on the on the one hand, it does work as kind of ambient background music, almost.

519
00:56:12.080 --> 00:56:12.400
Alternate Line: Yeah.

520
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:17.409
Andrew's iPhone: It. Kind of it. Kind of forms it could. It could have that function for you if you wanted it to be kind of.

521
00:56:17.590 --> 00:56:21.729
Andrew's iPhone: you know, relaxing and fill your fill the space of the room that you're in.

522
00:56:21.740 --> 00:56:24.289
Andrew's iPhone: And but yeah, I think it's 1 that just

523
00:56:24.750 --> 00:56:32.879
Andrew's iPhone: just crying out and rewards the foreground listening experience. It's just, and it's a fantastic headphone record as well. If you if you listen to it on that.

524
00:56:33.150 --> 00:56:34.060
Andrew's iPhone: And

525
00:56:34.370 --> 00:56:41.150
Andrew's iPhone: and yeah, as as you say, it's it's it's simple and complex at the same time. And

526
00:56:42.930 --> 00:56:51.959
Andrew's iPhone: but yeah, I just I just think it's it's brilliant. I mean, it's got everything that made space 1.8. So good. You know, there's the kind of like immaculate gleaming production.

527
00:56:52.320 --> 00:57:00.549
Andrew's iPhone: There's just a lot of production on it. There's a kind of cohesiveness to it that comes with that that kind of idea of the the continuums that the movements

528
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:08.550
Andrew's iPhone: amazing high quality, musicianship. So so she kind of brings in different musicians to complement different tracks, depending on

529
00:57:08.740 --> 00:57:12.369
Andrew's iPhone: what she needs, the use of space

530
00:57:12.500 --> 00:57:20.289
Andrew's iPhone: and the witty way of kind of offering variations on a theme. So throughout the album you do get these kind of arpeggiated ideas coming back.

531
00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:21.780
Andrew's iPhone: But, as you see it.

532
00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:38.500
Andrew's iPhone: she's always got a kind of trick to play with it. She's always kind of twisting into a different shape, and there's a real kind of widening of the scope on this record as well. That comes with the the strings that that are used throughout the record as well. You get. You get a bit of it on this track, but across the whole album

533
00:57:38.820 --> 00:57:47.650
Andrew's iPhone: the strings are used really really well as well, and it kind of pushes it even closer into that kind of floating point, Philoso Sanders territory, but it's very much its own thing as well.

534
00:57:48.050 --> 00:57:55.230
Andrew's iPhone: And on this particular track there's a saxophone from James Mollison, from Ezra Collective.

535
00:57:55.560 --> 00:58:00.150
Andrew's iPhone: and the drums are are from Morgan Simpson, who's

536
00:58:00.410 --> 00:58:02.399
Andrew's iPhone: a supremely talented drummer

537
00:58:02.830 --> 00:58:06.990
Andrew's iPhone: best known for powering the recently dismantled Black Midi.

538
00:58:07.100 --> 00:58:07.680
Andrew's iPhone: So yeah.

539
00:58:07.680 --> 00:58:10.209
Alternate Line: Need to jump in. I need to jump in and talk about the drums on this.

540
00:58:10.210 --> 00:58:10.620
Andrew's iPhone: The drum.

541
00:58:10.620 --> 00:58:12.210
Alternate Line: The drums are the star, the drums.

542
00:58:12.210 --> 00:58:12.900
Andrew's iPhone: Absolutely incredible.

543
00:58:12.900 --> 00:58:19.319
Alternate Line: At the start of this, and we obviously were recently talking about Black Midi with, because we were talking about Geordie Greeb.

544
00:58:20.460 --> 00:58:23.239
Alternate Line: and I I find Black Medie quite

545
00:58:23.420 --> 00:58:39.789
Alternate Line: hard to get along with, not the musicianship, but just the overall intensity of it. But I mean, if if you ever needed a reminder of how unbelievably talented this guy is. I mean that drumming performance. The 1st 6 min of drumming performance.

546
00:58:39.790 --> 00:58:40.600
Andrew's iPhone: Incredible.

547
00:58:40.600 --> 00:58:46.260
Alternate Line: Unbelievable, unbelievable, and like. There's moments in there of just like like

548
00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:50.930
Alternate Line: tempo shifts into like really really unusual

549
00:58:51.120 --> 00:58:58.919
Alternate Line: time signatures. And then and then slow giving it, giving it kind of really bringing it down and then

550
00:58:59.160 --> 00:59:05.890
Alternate Line: bringing the pace up. And you know the question I'm asking about, how how is this actually recorded is like?

551
00:59:06.100 --> 00:59:07.960
Alternate Line: Is that all improvised?

552
00:59:08.690 --> 00:59:22.029
Alternate Line: It could be, I suppose, I guess, but it doesn't feel like that, because it feels like the the moments are planned. So are these are these kind of like highlight moments planned in advance that it feels unlikely that they would just.

553
00:59:22.250 --> 00:59:25.566
Alternate Line: you know happen at random.

554
00:59:26.300 --> 00:59:34.270
Alternate Line: but yeah, another thing that I liked about the track was it introduced me to? Or maybe I don't know if it introduced me, or just reminded me of the phrase Afrofuturism

555
00:59:34.733 --> 00:59:46.739
Alternate Line: of which this is, I guess, is a kind of an example of that type of music where you've got like African or African diasporic music Belgian, I think, Alice and Afro, but.

556
00:59:46.740 --> 00:59:47.940
Andrew's iPhone: Yes, written.

557
00:59:47.940 --> 00:59:51.240
Alternate Line: Our parents are from from Africa. So.

558
00:59:51.856 --> 00:59:54.909
Alternate Line: you're taking the concepts of African music.

559
00:59:55.480 --> 01:00:03.359
Alternate Line: And then the concept of Futurism and and thinking about, you know, in musical terms. I guess you're thinking synth and and futuristic kind of kind of stuff

560
01:00:03.510 --> 01:00:17.700
Alternate Line: Kraftwerkey type thing, and just sort of bringing that together. So when I'm when I'm reading reviews of of the record endlessness, a lot of people in the reviews mentioned Afrofuturism, which I think is a really interesting concept.

561
01:00:18.210 --> 01:00:36.370
Alternate Line: I don't specifically get the Afro part of it from this piece of music. I'm not really getting the. I get the Futurism a lot of it. I I'm just more feeling the the jazz influence on this rather than anything specifically African. But I'm happy to be wrong if you're gonna if you're gonna correct me on that one. I I just.

562
01:00:36.370 --> 01:00:36.769
Andrew's iPhone: Seen it.

563
01:00:36.770 --> 01:00:39.029
Alternate Line: And reviews, but I'm not actually hearing it in my ears.

564
01:00:39.450 --> 01:00:42.310
Andrew's iPhone: Well, I guess, like one of the real kind of pioneers

565
01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:43.980
Andrew's iPhone: and kind of one of the kind of

566
01:00:44.160 --> 01:00:48.049
Andrew's iPhone: the visual figure heads of Afrofuturism is Sunra.

567
01:00:48.370 --> 01:00:53.250
Andrew's iPhone: who who's obviously you know, a really kind of experimental

568
01:00:53.430 --> 01:01:03.399
Andrew's iPhone: and very kind of adventurous jazz musician. So there's there's many kind of aspects of sungras spirit in here.

569
01:01:03.410 --> 01:01:11.650
Andrew's iPhone: same as Alice Coltrane as well. Things like that. So it doesn't necessarily sound like those artists. But I think there's similar kind of spirit here.

570
01:01:11.900 --> 01:01:18.319
Andrew's iPhone: and, as you say, the the way that kind of you know, Sunra's famous records of space is the place.

571
01:01:18.370 --> 01:01:25.119
Andrew's iPhone: Universal's last record was space 1.8. So there's kind of things there.

572
01:01:26.060 --> 01:01:32.040
Andrew's iPhone: So yeah, something that kind of that kind of idea of kind of going on kind of quest or Odyssey kind of thing.

573
01:01:32.140 --> 01:01:36.670
Andrew's iPhone: and and that kind of cyclical nature of this record, that endlessness

574
01:01:36.690 --> 01:01:40.499
Andrew's iPhone: thing. And I don't think it's any. It's no coincidence that

575
01:01:40.510 --> 01:01:46.410
Andrew's iPhone: on space 1.8. There's a figure clinging onto the rings of what looks like Saturn.

576
01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:51.120
Andrew's iPhone: And here it's a similar figure with a space helmet on luxuria in an oval shape.

577
01:01:51.180 --> 01:01:54.780
Andrew's iPhone: So there's something there's that kind of idea of a journey.

578
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:57.630
Andrew's iPhone: something coming full circle, I guess.

579
01:01:57.670 --> 01:01:58.305
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah,

580
01:01:58.950 --> 01:02:05.639
Andrew's iPhone: So yeah, I just think it's really well thought out conceptually, it's really satisfying as a listening experience. And

581
01:02:05.780 --> 01:02:09.070
Andrew's iPhone: I just think she's a really incredible talent.

582
01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:20.860
Andrew's iPhone: As you say, it's it's really it's really brainy, but it's it's not difficult to listen to. It's not, you know. It's not kind of challenging in in the way that some jazz that I've brought in

583
01:02:21.110 --> 01:02:26.689
Andrew's iPhone: in the past in the show, you know, or even something like Black Monday, you know. It's just. It's got a real kind of elegance to it.

584
01:02:27.090 --> 01:02:29.989
Alternate Line: It's very elegant. You've you've alighted upon the correct.

585
01:02:30.090 --> 01:02:37.700
Alternate Line: The correct term here, I think elegance would be would be the key. I'm just going to say that the the records sleeve is very

586
01:02:37.970 --> 01:02:48.808
Alternate Line: simple. It's a sort of handwriting of the word endlessness, and then a a black kind of silhouette figure against the sort of white and background, almost as if the

587
01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:52.500
Alternate Line: it's almost as if the the figure is kind of

588
01:02:53.120 --> 01:03:00.169
Alternate Line: almost in a womb, with the word endlessness, forming a kind of womb around them, and then almost in a kind of

589
01:03:00.550 --> 01:03:11.099
Alternate Line: you know, infantile kind of position on that as well. So that's the kind of feeling I get. That image sort of encapsulates. How I feel when I'm listening to this, like I'm just kind of

590
01:03:11.310 --> 01:03:20.209
Alternate Line: is surrounding me and swirling around me. And it's it's very comforting. I think this piece of music and I like I like that. It's not challenging like this did not need

591
01:03:20.610 --> 01:03:25.839
Alternate Line: scrunk, or someone like yelling at me halfway through it, or anything like that, you know some sort of

592
01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:32.380
Alternate Line: bard! Kind of shouting nonsense over the top of it. This was.

593
01:03:33.320 --> 01:03:49.200
Alternate Line: I'm not gonna say perfect, but it was assembled very, very cleverly, and I I guess I'm still puzzling out like, how I don't really know how, but you know, if the if there is any material that they've recorded, and Alice and efforts recorded any like

594
01:03:49.460 --> 01:03:56.848
Alternate Line: videography or in love of of the sessions of this. I'd be quite interested in watching to see how. How's this actually done?

595
01:03:57.200 --> 01:03:58.859
Alternate Line: because it's it's it's

596
01:03:58.900 --> 01:04:04.170
Alternate Line: it sounds like it's just, you know, on one. Someone is. Gonna listen to that and go. That's just like

597
01:04:04.190 --> 01:04:15.339
Alternate Line: somebody's just doing a keyboard. And then somebody's drumming over the top, and then somebody's playing saxophone over the top. But it's not that. It's just not that simple. Anyone could do that stuff, but it it won't sound as like

598
01:04:16.120 --> 01:04:18.730
Alternate Line: thoughtful as this, and elegant as you said

599
01:04:19.190 --> 01:04:20.010
Alternate Line: so

600
01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:25.349
Alternate Line: is she just? Should we come to the end of this review? Can I ask? Was Sunra.

601
01:04:25.490 --> 01:04:27.300
Alternate Line: the Baddie, and thundercats.

602
01:04:29.720 --> 01:04:31.210
Alternate Line: That's that's Numra, isn't it?

603
01:04:31.210 --> 01:04:32.390
Andrew's iPhone: I was mumra.

604
01:04:32.390 --> 01:04:34.630
Alternate Line: Mumra mumra mumra

605
01:04:34.740 --> 01:04:36.170
Alternate Line: yes.

606
01:04:36.270 --> 01:04:41.390
Alternate Line: get out of here. Just really thought of the the Egyptian imagery. In that Mumra was a mummy.

607
01:04:41.680 --> 01:04:43.840
Alternate Line: and the Egyptians loved cats.

608
01:04:44.520 --> 01:04:55.370
Alternate Line: I'm gonna have to go back and watch some thundercats. That's just I've had a big shower thought. There, see? Just before we move on to our next track. I just wanted to ask, have you cracked open the have you cracked open the horrible beer yet?

609
01:04:55.370 --> 01:04:58.590
Andrew's iPhone: I have. I cracked it open, but I've been waiting for my 1st taste before.

610
01:04:58.590 --> 01:04:59.200
Alternate Line: Okay.

611
01:04:59.200 --> 01:05:01.739
Andrew's iPhone: I'm just waiting for the moment. Here it goes!

612
01:05:01.740 --> 01:05:02.350
Alternate Line: There we go!

613
01:05:02.350 --> 01:05:03.570
Andrew's iPhone: Governor of East Mail.

614
01:05:03.570 --> 01:05:05.310
Alternate Line: Why, what's the smell like.

615
01:05:05.310 --> 01:05:06.240
Andrew's iPhone: Okay.

616
01:05:06.960 --> 01:05:10.340
Andrew's iPhone: smells a little bit like a chocolate milkshake or something.

617
01:05:10.340 --> 01:05:11.639
Alternate Line: Okay. Well, that's all right.

618
01:05:11.720 --> 01:05:14.089
Alternate Line: He's gone in. There he goes.

619
01:05:16.860 --> 01:05:17.780
Alternate Line: Hmm.

620
01:05:18.530 --> 01:05:19.270
Andrew's iPhone: Oh, wow!

621
01:05:19.710 --> 01:05:21.869
Alternate Line: This is making for cracking radio. That's.

622
01:05:25.940 --> 01:05:32.370
Andrew's iPhone: it's it's chocolatey. It's stouty. I'm not quite getting the cookie in this.

623
01:05:33.270 --> 01:05:36.330
Andrew's iPhone: There's a lot of animals coming through. I don't think.

624
01:05:36.330 --> 01:05:36.969
Alternate Line: Heat. I'm not.

625
01:05:36.970 --> 01:05:37.880
Andrew's iPhone: So hatred.

626
01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:40.290
Alternate Line: Don't hate it. Okay, fair enough.

627
01:05:40.635 --> 01:05:46.760
Alternate Line: Me and the guys that sort of during lockdown did one of those like beer tasting things. It was like a sort of online

628
01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:54.720
Alternate Line: guide notes, tasting notes and all that, and we were like drinking them at home. And there was one of them that was like a peanut butter, beer, and I swear to God it was.

629
01:05:54.720 --> 01:05:55.380
Andrew's iPhone: Oh, my God!

630
01:05:55.380 --> 01:05:58.219
Alternate Line: The most disgusting thing I'd ever put in my.

631
01:05:58.220 --> 01:05:58.640
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah.

632
01:05:58.640 --> 01:06:00.230
Alternate Line: Sweetest.

633
01:06:00.260 --> 01:06:03.069
Alternate Line: weirdest thing. So, okay, can I?

634
01:06:03.070 --> 01:06:05.540
Andrew's iPhone: Stick to your palate like peanut butter does.

635
01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:07.990
Alternate Line: It. It did. It was kind of thick.

636
01:06:08.200 --> 01:06:08.620
Andrew's iPhone: Had to.

637
01:06:08.620 --> 01:06:14.060
Alternate Line: Gloopiness to it. It just wasn't, it was. Oh, everything's take taste, texture, all all wrong.

638
01:06:14.979 --> 01:06:15.719
Alternate Line: Okay.

639
01:06:15.890 --> 01:06:19.509
Alternate Line: So we're on to a 4th new track.

640
01:06:20.030 --> 01:06:23.870
Alternate Line: Which is the last time by Brooke comb.

641
01:06:24.280 --> 01:06:25.230
Alternate Line: Here we go.

642
01:06:39.630 --> 01:06:41.050
Alternate Line: Stop what you say.

643
01:06:43.580 --> 01:06:44.280
Alternate Line: losing my

644
01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:47.440
Alternate Line: whenever

645
01:06:54.370 --> 01:06:56.220
Alternate Line: I convince myself.

646
01:07:03.010 --> 01:07:05.030
Alternate Line: Would you help me tomorrow.

647
01:07:10.160 --> 01:07:11.630
Alternate Line: Is it your love?

648
01:07:28.990 --> 01:07:30.600
Alternate Line: I hear what you say?

649
01:07:32.780 --> 01:07:33.690
Alternate Line: Will you see it?

650
01:07:36.090 --> 01:07:39.040
Alternate Line: You're telling me one thing

651
01:07:39.750 --> 01:07:40.440
Alternate Line: that's not.

652
01:07:44.470 --> 01:07:45.619
Alternate Line: It's my sound.

653
01:07:52.390 --> 01:07:54.410
Alternate Line: Would you help me tomorrow.

654
01:07:59.890 --> 01:08:01.000
Alternate Line: your love.

655
01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:22.860
Alternate Line: this was my

656
01:08:28.729 --> 01:08:30.029
Alternate Line: you take my

657
01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:31.290
Alternate Line: shirt.

658
01:08:35.229 --> 01:08:36.600
Alternate Line: Is me.

659
01:08:38.540 --> 01:08:39.969
Alternate Line: Play for the

660
01:08:45.390 --> 01:08:47.390
Alternate Line: to pump me tomorrow.

661
01:08:51.370 --> 01:08:52.100
Alternate Line: Say

662
01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:53.949
Alternate Line: your love

663
01:09:01.050 --> 01:09:01.890
Alternate Line: us. Now

664
01:09:15.350 --> 01:09:16.100
Alternate Line: stand

665
01:09:39.149 --> 01:09:51.009
Alternate Line: there we go the last time by Brooke Comb, and some very familiar names in the production credits for this one. So we've got James scally. What is off of the coral

666
01:09:51.680 --> 01:10:08.510
Alternate Line: and other James scally based projects, and the composer is Danny Murphy, who, I presume, is not the one who is off of match of the day, and former Liverpool player. It! Says someone else. But it's someone Scottish, I think, but I didn't manage to chase that lead all the way down. Who who is Danny Murphy? Do you know.

667
01:10:10.720 --> 01:10:12.319
Andrew's iPhone: It's the guy off much of the day.

668
01:10:12.810 --> 01:10:14.750
Alternate Line: No, it's not. It's the opposite.

669
01:10:14.990 --> 01:10:16.149
Andrew's iPhone: No, it's not.

670
01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:20.199
Alternate Line: I would love it if it was, I would love it.

671
01:10:20.450 --> 01:10:22.479
Andrew's iPhone: Can you imagine having to do

672
01:10:23.240 --> 01:10:25.240
Andrew's iPhone: anything artistic?

673
01:10:25.240 --> 01:10:26.949
Alternate Line: No at all. Yeah.

674
01:10:27.170 --> 01:10:28.390
Alternate Line: What a wasteman.

675
01:10:29.710 --> 01:10:33.480
Andrew's iPhone: I don't know who Danny Murphy is in that context.

676
01:10:34.450 --> 01:10:35.710
Andrew's iPhone: I'm not not sure.

677
01:10:35.710 --> 01:10:36.430
Alternate Line: Fair enough.

678
01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:39.819
Alternate Line: I'll I'll let you away with it, anyway. The song itself. What do you think.

679
01:10:41.742 --> 01:10:53.030
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, I think it's it's it's a fun, solidly written song. This, I think. What? What drew me to it was the fact that this is some soul coming out of Scotland.

680
01:10:53.240 --> 01:10:56.730
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, which is which is kind of novel.

681
01:10:56.860 --> 01:10:59.280
Andrew's iPhone: And and for a bit of

682
01:10:59.400 --> 01:11:00.849
Andrew's iPhone: chatting a bit hard and

683
01:11:02.740 --> 01:11:18.200
Andrew's iPhone: I think I think she's she's kind of been being touted as as like a rising star. So so it'd be interesting to talk about her. So Britt comb she was. She's based in Eastern Midlovian in Scotland, brought up in Dalkeith

684
01:11:18.720 --> 01:11:26.770
Andrew's iPhone: and studied music at college and university. She won the breakthrough female prize at the 2,021 Scottish music awards.

685
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:31.509
Andrew's iPhone: and she's been releasing a series of singles as well as a mixtape

686
01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:41.909
Andrew's iPhone: called black, is the new gold which released last year, and this track is one of 2 that have come out so far

687
01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:46.119
Andrew's iPhone: from her album, which is coming out in January.

688
01:11:46.600 --> 01:11:55.749
Andrew's iPhone: and and there's already like a like a dinked special edition of the Vinyl. That's that's up for preorder. And and

689
01:11:56.450 --> 01:12:01.300
Andrew's iPhone: she she probably she probably talks about herself as a soul artist

690
01:12:01.780 --> 01:12:13.530
Andrew's iPhone: along with announcing a show for the Barlands lot. And next year she posted a video of herself in the ballroom, and she was saying, you know, who'd have thought a Scottish soul artist would make it here

691
01:12:13.700 --> 01:12:15.429
Andrew's iPhone: kind of thing. And

692
01:12:15.720 --> 01:12:37.189
Andrew's iPhone: but so she's she's very kind of proud of that kind of aspect of being a soul artist, but she's also quite indie rock in terms of our presentation. And the people that she's aligning herself with. So, as you. As you say, there's James Skeller, the chord producing this album, and there's a there's a clip online of her covering. Paul Weller's broken stones

693
01:12:37.650 --> 01:12:44.300
Andrew's iPhone: as well, and she's been touring with a lot of rock acts like the Cortinas and the snots

694
01:12:44.530 --> 01:12:56.250
Andrew's iPhone: as well as a Paolotini. So maybe that says something about the kind of lack of a Scottish soul scene that she's having to to tour with these guys. But I think it's also feels like a choice, and it could be quite a kind of

695
01:12:57.350 --> 01:13:00.080
Andrew's iPhone: a kind of canny move move for her. I think.

696
01:13:00.080 --> 01:13:02.269
Alternate Line: We'll look at the choice. Yeah, sure.

697
01:13:02.270 --> 01:13:11.200
Andrew's iPhone: So yeah, she's obviously got one eye on the soul fans, but also that kind of well or oasis choral crowd, the kind of aging Mods, and the more open ended.

698
01:13:11.200 --> 01:13:11.740
Alternate Line: Yeah.

699
01:13:11.740 --> 01:13:17.770
Andrew's iPhone: Open minded Britpop, and you know. So I think it's a strategy that could work well for her.

700
01:13:17.960 --> 01:13:22.329
Andrew's iPhone: And I think you can detect things like the coral, and a little bit the zootons and the production.

701
01:13:22.330 --> 01:13:32.580
Alternate Line: Oh, I was going to say it's more than more than detect, I would say. I would say the sort of wobbly organ and the fuzzy electric guitar is straight off of the chordal, really, isn't it? I mean, I.

702
01:13:32.580 --> 01:13:32.900
Andrew's iPhone: Sorry.

703
01:13:32.900 --> 01:13:40.479
Alternate Line: When you said zootons, and I was like oh, yes, the zootons, too. No harm, no harm to that at all, but it just feels like

704
01:13:41.360 --> 01:13:53.889
Alternate Line: I I like this. I like the song as well. I think it nips along a nice, a nice pace. I like the the sort of break in the middle, the sort of more kind of minor section that again felt quite

705
01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:58.370
Alternate Line: corally to me, so as as soul.

706
01:14:00.130 --> 01:14:02.032
Alternate Line: but with a very kind of

707
01:14:02.900 --> 01:14:12.671
Alternate Line: sort of 2 thousands nd kind of twist on it a little bit. Yeah. Which is which is interesting, and I just wonder for someone as as

708
01:14:13.300 --> 01:14:13.860
Alternate Line: you

709
01:14:14.700 --> 01:14:24.674
Alternate Line: I don't know. I I just don't know what I think about this overall. The song nips on a quite a a decent pace. I'm not in love with Brooke Gome's voice, I have to say, and specifically her

710
01:14:25.701 --> 01:14:31.160
Alternate Line: vibrato at the end of each end of each line. It's almost like it's quite a

711
01:14:31.170 --> 01:14:33.199
Alternate Line: a forceful kind of

712
01:14:33.250 --> 01:14:46.449
Alternate Line: waving vibrato kind of thing. And again, it's it's a musal detail. But I just I just don't love it, you know. It feels like she probably doesn't need need that and I would I would prefer it if the

713
01:14:47.520 --> 01:14:58.899
Alternate Line: the notes were stronger and not so accented all the time. I don't know what the inspiration is for that necessarily, or if it's just, it's just a feature of our own singing, or whatever, but I just didn't love it.

714
01:14:59.170 --> 01:15:02.679
Andrew's iPhone: Think it may be as it may be, as her trying to get some more personality across in her.

715
01:15:02.680 --> 01:15:03.100
Alternate Line: Yeah.

716
01:15:03.100 --> 01:15:07.350
Andrew's iPhone: The voice flew. But yeah, maybe maybe it doesn't completely lend itself to this track.

717
01:15:07.510 --> 01:15:09.419
Andrew's iPhone: That kind of pounding Northern soul thing.

718
01:15:09.660 --> 01:15:11.520
Alternate Line: I just wonder like is this?

719
01:15:12.410 --> 01:15:23.929
Alternate Line: Is this the coolest thing that she could be doing? You know this? This must be what she's interested in, and and, as we said, potentially. And I'm not suggesting that she's just chasing us down because it's the most lucrative thing she could do, not saying that at all. But, like.

720
01:15:24.330 --> 01:15:28.520
Alternate Line: you know, is this the most interesting thing that people could be doing in 2024, like.

721
01:15:28.880 --> 01:15:31.390
Alternate Line: you know, it's sort of

722
01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:35.750
Alternate Line: sole derivative. It's sort of derivative of music that

723
01:15:36.060 --> 01:15:40.030
Alternate Line: guitar bands were making 1015 years ago as well, like

724
01:15:40.210 --> 01:15:48.828
Alternate Line: just feels like there should, just for someone so talented, someone who's won. Like, as you said, 2021, you know Scottish newcomer of the year award, or whatever it was you said,

725
01:15:49.220 --> 01:15:55.179
Alternate Line: feels like that. That type of person should really be taking a bit more of a risk and doing something just a bit more kind of

726
01:15:57.720 --> 01:16:05.060
Alternate Line: you know, just something a bit newer and maybe push the boundaries a little bit. Yeah, there's not a lot of soul in Scotland that's true.

727
01:16:05.210 --> 01:16:09.799
Alternate Line: Just give us something new give. Give us something challenging, you know. Really, really push the boat out like

728
01:16:10.096 --> 01:16:19.589
Alternate Line: work with some people who are going to take you in interest in directions. I chased down Danny Murphy. By the way, whilst who were whils who were chatting there, it's a he's a live guitarist

729
01:16:19.600 --> 01:16:21.430
Alternate Line: who plays with the choral, so.

730
01:16:21.430 --> 01:16:22.160
Andrew's iPhone: Right? Okay.

731
01:16:22.160 --> 01:16:26.037
Alternate Line: That's maybe not too much of a surprise. It's interesting.

732
01:16:26.690 --> 01:16:28.700
Alternate Line: I think it's a decent song.

733
01:16:28.810 --> 01:16:37.369
Alternate Line: I don't think it's ultimately all that memorable a a piece, and I just don't think this is going to. I could be completely wrong. But I just don't see brute comb

734
01:16:37.910 --> 01:16:42.709
Alternate Line: making a huge breakthrough with this particular track. I don't think this will be the single that would would

735
01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:46.239
Alternate Line: take her act to the, to the very top. I don't think she's going to win a

736
01:16:46.390 --> 01:16:52.042
Alternate Line: Mercury award, or a C Award, or anything like that with with an album. If it sounds like this,

737
01:16:52.840 --> 01:16:59.950
Alternate Line: maybe sell a bunch of tickets, maybe open for Paul Weller, etc. And so that's that's all good stuff. But I just

738
01:17:00.230 --> 01:17:09.119
Alternate Line: I don't know. It just doesn't really speak to me, this one I just I didn't find myself any engaged with it. I just like held at arm's length, almost. Yeah. It's all right about loving it.

739
01:17:11.690 --> 01:17:21.937
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, I think I think that all everything that you've said is is fair. It's it's a little bit like the the heart tones track that we talked about a few weeks, you know the the kind of like

740
01:17:22.230 --> 01:17:24.430
Andrew's iPhone: mid mid twenties as well, and

741
01:17:24.650 --> 01:17:30.640
Andrew's iPhone: kind of looking backwards. And you're kind of just want a little bit more. You're wanting that kind of fresh twist on things.

742
01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:48.615
Alternate Line: Yeah. Well, the heart tones were that they were describing themselves like, neo soul, weren't they like, this is new. This is something different. And it was just the same like it was nothing new about it, just that when I went back and listened to that after we'd recorded it like I I almost wanted to like double down on on what I'd said about it.

743
01:17:49.140 --> 01:17:50.270
Alternate Line: so

744
01:17:50.340 --> 01:17:54.489
Alternate Line: yeah, I I think this is a fun song, a good song.

745
01:17:54.530 --> 01:17:55.580
Alternate Line: But

746
01:17:56.340 --> 01:17:59.199
Alternate Line: you know, where's it? Gonna take you? Not sure.

747
01:17:59.480 --> 01:18:04.809
Andrew's iPhone: The other the other track that she's released so far from the record. So the record's called dancing at the edge of the world.

748
01:18:05.120 --> 01:18:12.710
Andrew's iPhone: and the other track that she released is that that title track, and that's a little cooler in terms of tempo and the temperature of the track.

749
01:18:13.130 --> 01:18:16.499
Andrew's iPhone: You can kind of see that she's talked about Amy Winehouse being

750
01:18:17.323 --> 01:18:28.090
Andrew's iPhone: a reference point and inspiration, and you can kind of see that a little bit more in that track, and maybe yes, maybe maybe her voice kind of suits that kind of back in a little bit more.

751
01:18:28.090 --> 01:18:28.730
Alternate Line: Yeah.

752
01:18:28.730 --> 01:18:33.149
Andrew's iPhone: And but I mean certainly a track like like this the last time, you know it's it. Oh.

753
01:18:33.310 --> 01:18:39.309
Andrew's iPhone: it'll it'll kind of stomp along nicely when she plays a barrow lands, you know I can. I can imagine that that

754
01:18:39.490 --> 01:18:42.000
Andrew's iPhone: been been a good setting for that

755
01:18:42.350 --> 01:18:47.939
Andrew's iPhone: and she is a very young artist, so so wait and see what she does in the future.

756
01:18:48.250 --> 01:18:53.440
Alternate Line: Do you know? See the when people talk about Amy winehouse?

757
01:18:53.850 --> 01:18:58.260
Alternate Line: mean, I'll have to email. So don't make any any bones about it, and I like

758
01:18:58.350 --> 01:19:00.080
Alternate Line: we'll still stick on

759
01:19:00.180 --> 01:19:03.094
Alternate Line: Frank and back to black occasionally.

760
01:19:04.170 --> 01:19:05.250
Alternate Line: And

761
01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:07.780
Alternate Line: I feel like the thing that is

762
01:19:08.150 --> 01:19:12.650
Alternate Line: most obvious about Amy Winehouse. To most people I could be wrong. Here

763
01:19:12.790 --> 01:19:18.470
Alternate Line: is the derivative stuff people like. Oh, this feels like, you know, as as a kind of fifties

764
01:19:18.530 --> 01:19:28.660
Alternate Line: esque feel to it, or whatever, and it's jazzy and all that sort of stuff. But that's not why it was any good. That's really not the main attractiveness of it. I think the

765
01:19:29.460 --> 01:19:32.490
Alternate Line: Amy's vocal performances were always like

766
01:19:32.610 --> 01:19:43.840
Alternate Line: stunning, unbelievable, unique, referencing jazz. They were also very modern at the time, and then the the linical content and the and the sort of

767
01:19:43.980 --> 01:19:51.490
Alternate Line: heart on sleeve thing which I mean. It's very rare. We I mean, when when I can't remember. Really

768
01:19:52.620 --> 01:19:58.059
Alternate Line: I was reviewing a piece of music which is just so hard on sleeve as something like

769
01:19:58.120 --> 01:20:01.630
Alternate Line: back to black or whatever. But it's just straightforwardly.

770
01:20:02.060 --> 01:20:29.290
Alternate Line: Here's all the stuff that's going wrong in my life, and so so brutal with it. So when Brooke combs in there, you know, inspired by Amy Winehouse that you shouldn't have to listen my advice, but have to encourage her look for the challenging parts of Amy Winehouse. Look for the bits that were like unique and interesting, not the bits where it's just like oh, it's a bit of a bit throwbacky and and all that. So that's that's not really what makes Amy Winehouse interesting to me. To me.

771
01:20:29.550 --> 01:20:31.940
Alternate Line: There we go. You shouldn't mention everyone else's stuff. The setting.

772
01:20:32.355 --> 01:20:33.599
Andrew's iPhone: No, it's good.

773
01:20:34.445 --> 01:20:40.010
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah. But she had that that previous trip. Black is the new gold, and she talked about that. And this album

774
01:20:40.160 --> 01:20:48.539
Andrew's iPhone: that's coming up as as her kind of dealing with being mixed race, and and a kind of predominantly white

775
01:20:49.501 --> 01:20:52.710
Andrew's iPhone: world if you like that she kind of grew up in.

776
01:20:52.810 --> 01:21:02.299
Andrew's iPhone: and she's kind of like exploring heritage and her race through through some of these tracks. So it'll be interesting to see if we get a little bit more of that kind of.

777
01:21:02.750 --> 01:21:06.959
Andrew's iPhone: you know, if she is kind of willing to kind of really kind of properly delve into that kind of stuff. Yeah.

778
01:21:06.980 --> 01:21:08.759
Andrew's iPhone: that could be a little bit more interesting.

779
01:21:09.130 --> 01:21:14.838
Alternate Line: I I mean, I mean the the main thing that I got excited about when you when you're going into Brooks.

780
01:21:15.130 --> 01:21:18.310
Alternate Line: so background stuff was that you said she was brought up in Dulkeith.

781
01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:23.639
Alternate Line: which is the head office of the Scottish Qualifications authority. But I have to decant myself.

782
01:21:23.640 --> 01:21:24.209
Andrew's iPhone: If it was.

783
01:21:24.210 --> 01:21:31.200
Alternate Line: Yeah, and do do boring work. So Keys is an exciting place, isn't it? No, it's not.

784
01:21:31.576 --> 01:21:32.330
Andrew's iPhone: Good morning!

785
01:21:32.330 --> 01:21:32.780
Alternate Line: Taking place.

786
01:21:32.780 --> 01:21:33.360
Andrew's iPhone: Always.

787
01:21:33.360 --> 01:21:36.230
Alternate Line: It was a 1 horse town, and the horse ran away.

788
01:21:37.470 --> 01:21:43.089
Alternate Line: right? Okay. So Britco bit of a mixed review there, I I

789
01:21:43.460 --> 01:21:45.250
Alternate Line: I I you know.

790
01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:51.719
Alternate Line: What was it? What was the the Marley song we debuted a few months ago? No, no, Ziggy Marley.

791
01:21:51.940 --> 01:21:53.209
Alternate Line: Oh, Bob Marley.

792
01:21:54.110 --> 01:21:55.370
Alternate Line: what Molly was it?

793
01:21:56.980 --> 01:21:57.910
Alternate Line: What's his name?

794
01:22:00.170 --> 01:22:04.649
Alternate Line: That Marley? One, you know, I went on, a big mighty rant about it. Who's that bike.

795
01:22:04.650 --> 01:22:06.740
Andrew's iPhone: Temporarily forgot his 1st name. Yeah.

796
01:22:06.740 --> 01:22:33.059
Alternate Line: It's pet. She's absolutely terrible. So that's why I forgot. But like that, that basically made me feel furious about music, and how much I hated everything, and I don't want to come across in any way like this with the brute comb review, because, you know, she seems like a very talented person. I hope she's very successful, but I just I just I just can't love this one. I just something about it just holds me at arm's length, and I can't get into it. So

797
01:22:33.250 --> 01:22:34.739
Alternate Line: there we go right.

798
01:22:35.160 --> 01:22:46.280
Alternate Line: That'll be the last time I talk about that one on to the 5th new track of the week. Final new track of the week by Christopher Haddle.

799
01:22:46.970 --> 01:22:50.550
Alternate Line: and this song is called Tala Reservoir.

800
01:23:35.140 --> 01:23:35.830
Alternate Line: Oh.

801
01:25:51.550 --> 01:25:53.060
Alternate Line: who?

802
01:26:03.820 --> 01:26:10.889
Alternate Line: All right. Lovely stuff! There that is Tala Reservoir, by Glasgow zone.

803
01:26:10.890 --> 01:26:11.450
Andrew's iPhone: Wait!

804
01:26:11.450 --> 01:26:21.732
Alternate Line: I don't know why I gave it the big boxing intro there. Christopher Haddle, not easy to chase up information about Christopher Haddle Andrew. This is not like

805
01:26:22.160 --> 01:26:29.959
Alternate Line: This is not the new beyonce records here. So it was a bit. I'm a bit scarce on the old details, but I bet you've got a bit more than I do.

806
01:26:31.350 --> 01:26:41.529
Andrew's iPhone: I do, I do so. This record, this Christopher Haddle record combines 2 things that were essential in getting me through the 1st few months of my parenthood.

807
01:26:42.040 --> 01:26:46.349
Andrew's iPhone: and a few years back, so instrumental ambient folk

808
01:26:46.670 --> 01:26:47.859
Andrew's iPhone: I'm pizza.

809
01:26:48.620 --> 01:26:50.819
Alternate Line: That's helpful. No, no, California.

810
01:26:52.630 --> 01:27:01.379
Andrew's iPhone: So so this this records coming out via arrows, hot wax, which is a Diy record label run out of a small pizza shop.

811
01:27:01.760 --> 01:27:08.099
Andrew's iPhone: And so I've actually been to Earl's pizza establishment in the south side of Glasgow. Very nice pizza.

812
01:27:08.140 --> 01:27:13.679
Andrew's iPhone: and they've now branched out into putting out small runs of records such as this.

813
01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:23.899
Andrew's iPhone: So it's an unexpected giant leap by Guitarist, Christopher Haddo. I think I'm not sure. I think he's maybe from Edinburgh rather than Glasgow.

814
01:27:23.900 --> 01:27:25.400
Alternate Line: Oh no!

815
01:27:25.840 --> 01:27:26.650
Alternate Line: Oh!

816
01:27:26.650 --> 01:27:36.559
Andrew's iPhone: But, as you say, it's coming out through through arrows. It was just Glasgow, and it was also recorded that green door in Glasgow as well. So there's a lot of Glasgow DNA in this.

817
01:27:37.450 --> 01:27:41.379
Alternate Line: We recorded music at Green Door 100 years ago, but we never released any of it. So

818
01:27:41.870 --> 01:27:42.540
Alternate Line: there you go.

819
01:27:43.040 --> 01:28:05.590
Andrew's iPhone: And and it should be said that the Vinyl package for this album is stunning. It's got this kind of beautiful peterly artwork, and it's got an Ob strip that feels complementary to the record and connected to the label identity rather than an afterthought or a gimmick. Yeah, it's a really lovely thing. It was 250 that they press. So if you like the sound of this, then I'd really recommend

820
01:28:05.900 --> 01:28:20.069
Andrew's iPhone: picking that up. And and yeah. As I mentioned there, this kind of music was a real kind of godsend for me at the time of the birth of my 1st son, and around time of lockdown as well. So acts like Chuck Johnson, North Americans.

821
01:28:20.500 --> 01:28:21.930
Andrew's iPhone: William Taylor.

822
01:28:22.030 --> 01:28:23.580
Andrew's iPhone: Melissa Anderson.

823
01:28:24.860 --> 01:28:35.289
Andrew's iPhone: those are artists that I played a lot and still play a lot to this day, and it's it's music that's kind of settling and unobtrusive enough to send the little ones to sleep. But it's

824
01:28:35.530 --> 01:28:41.659
Andrew's iPhone: textured and involving and downright lovely enough to withstand, being played a thousand times over.

825
01:28:41.660 --> 01:28:42.140
Alternate Line: Yep.

826
01:28:42.468 --> 01:28:48.709
Andrew's iPhone: And yeah, I mean, it's also that like kind of music that's capable of taking you somewhere else. So

827
01:28:48.900 --> 01:28:51.549
Andrew's iPhone: so there was a matter of times when I was kind of like drifting off. And

828
01:28:51.830 --> 01:28:57.840
Andrew's iPhone: yeah, I'd suddenly find myself in the the American desert, or whatever it might be, rather than in my bedroom

829
01:28:57.850 --> 01:28:59.469
Andrew's iPhone: locked in doors, you know.

830
01:28:59.480 --> 01:29:10.109
Andrew's iPhone: So yeah. So I think that this this record is kind of going for a simple thing. And christopher Hados actually talked about this

831
01:29:10.410 --> 01:29:16.539
Andrew's iPhone: being deliberately designed to kind of evoke those 1st kind of hazy moments of parenthood.

832
01:29:17.810 --> 01:29:21.039
Andrew's iPhone: so he's recorded this with 2 other musicians.

833
01:29:21.180 --> 01:29:30.219
Andrew's iPhone: and it does come out of all. We were talking about the analysis of track, you know. What did it kind of come out of this this record very much did come out of these kind of spontaneous improvisations.

834
01:29:31.090 --> 01:29:36.599
Andrew's iPhone: And then then I think they kind of bolded the tracks up, and they would add a lot of

835
01:29:37.120 --> 01:29:43.140
Andrew's iPhone: you know, kind of like tape tape loops and different ambient effects after the after the fact as well.

836
01:29:44.430 --> 01:29:55.539
Andrew's iPhone: And the album is bookended by the sound of ultrasound of of Hado's son Louis. And so so again, it's there's that kind of they've got that kind of personal connection.

837
01:29:55.550 --> 01:30:00.189
Andrew's iPhone: and and that kind of that kind of feel to it.

838
01:30:02.540 --> 01:30:15.099
Andrew's iPhone: and yeah, I mean, I I chose this track. It's probably one of the most kind of straightforward tracks on the record, the most kind of straight ahead guitar pieces on the record. It doesn't have a lot of those kind of blurred, ambient atmosphere.

839
01:30:15.100 --> 01:30:15.700
Alternate Line: Yeah.

840
01:30:16.472 --> 01:30:22.769
Andrew's iPhone: Though I do really enjoy the way they could utilize the piano on on this track in a really kind of sweet, subtle way.

841
01:30:23.493 --> 01:30:32.129
Andrew's iPhone: But I just thought this was a nice length, like some of the other tracks are gonna go up to about 8 min. So I thought this was quite a nice length to play in the podcast

842
01:30:32.380 --> 01:30:36.319
Andrew's iPhone: and and just a kind of nice accessible way into the record as well.

843
01:30:36.730 --> 01:30:41.549
Alternate Line: Yeah. The the guitar playing has a on the track has a lovely

844
01:30:41.950 --> 01:30:45.300
Alternate Line: like open tuned like

845
01:30:45.360 --> 01:30:52.539
Alternate Line: reverberant sounds. So when when he's playing those bass notes, and they really ring out they ring out

846
01:30:52.650 --> 01:30:55.420
Alternate Line: load and and and the the

847
01:30:55.890 --> 01:31:03.400
Alternate Line: suggest depth of feeling, I think. And you can tell that this is a guitar player who's thinking about

848
01:31:03.510 --> 01:31:09.590
Alternate Line: feeling and thinking about emotions, and rather than necessarily thinking about

849
01:31:10.130 --> 01:31:15.620
Alternate Line: fucking takers or shops, or whatever you know. I mean, they're thinking about like, how do I get across? Something here

850
01:31:15.700 --> 01:31:20.369
Alternate Line: feels very much? I don't know but it feels like this is maybe a 1 take.

851
01:31:20.950 --> 01:31:35.520
Alternate Line: because there's a few like imperfect notes and stuff. But I think this take has the feel, perhaps, that Christopher Haddo was going for, and don't know if the the piano was added afterwards, or same time, or whatever, but it has that feeling of like

852
01:31:35.700 --> 01:31:48.509
Alternate Line: it. It feels alive as a piece of music, you know, when you've got the headphones on, it's almost like you you're in now that I know it's recorded in in Glasgow as well like it has that feeling of

853
01:31:49.730 --> 01:32:06.702
Alternate Line: It feels like green door to me like it feels like I'm in there sitting in the room, you know. It just has that sort of vibe. If that's what it was recorded. Big slug of chocolate beer. Oh, dear, but it just you know it feels it feels very warm, feels very intimate and personal.

854
01:32:07.540 --> 01:32:19.040
Alternate Line: and I like, I like that. Obviously, I didn't take the details, the the details about the ultrasound at all, because it's not on this track. But I can see how this that time period. You you said it

855
01:32:19.360 --> 01:32:31.739
Alternate Line: chimed in with how you felt around that time period in your life I can see how definitely that would that would work. And and you know it's pastoral as well. You know, it feels Scottish somehow. It's that thing we talk about.

856
01:32:31.740 --> 01:32:32.190
Andrew's iPhone: Yes.

857
01:32:32.190 --> 01:32:44.869
Alternate Line: Of. Why does this feel Scottish? Don't know something about chord changes or something. Don't know what it is exactly. Obviously the title is a Scottish place as well. Tower reservoir. But like.

858
01:32:45.080 --> 01:32:56.430
Alternate Line: yeah, it's a very. It's a very, very lovely piece of music. And that all that backstory stuff that you just said there about arrows, hot wax, and everything. And

859
01:32:56.480 --> 01:33:00.469
Alternate Line: you know, I went on, Christopher's Instagram Page as well there, and I'm like

860
01:33:01.030 --> 01:33:22.850
Alternate Line: just loving, looking at all the little details and and all that kind of stuff it's not like, I said. I was jokingly, lightheartedly saying, Well, this isn't beyonce, I'm sure customers aware of that. But, our listeners, wherever you are, go and find Christopher Hado on Instagram. Think about picking the record up. It's a lovely way to spend your time. I think.

861
01:33:24.340 --> 01:33:31.819
Andrew's iPhone: It really is. Yeah, it really is. And the artwork was done and created with his wife, who's a visual artist.

862
01:33:33.040 --> 01:33:34.889
Andrew's iPhone: and yeah, I think I think that

863
01:33:35.020 --> 01:33:38.680
Andrew's iPhone: the music and the art and the fact that you know they've created this.

864
01:33:38.710 --> 01:33:49.650
Andrew's iPhone: This human together, you know, is is all of that all kind of works together. And just, yeah, it just creates this, this really, just really lovely story, I think, and really lovely

865
01:33:50.040 --> 01:33:51.999
Andrew's iPhone: a piece of art.

866
01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:57.399
Alternate Line: Your lovely friend, Mr. Gurrywurry. I believe it's Mrs. Gurrywurry who does the artwork for

867
01:33:57.620 --> 01:34:00.359
Alternate Line: for that project. I believe I think I'm right.

868
01:34:00.360 --> 01:34:02.919
Andrew's iPhone: She did. Yeah, for the 1st record she did. Yeah, absolutely.

869
01:34:03.010 --> 01:34:06.340
Andrew's iPhone: And yeah, Dave's records are on

870
01:34:06.490 --> 01:34:09.059
Andrew's iPhone: Friday, we should say as well. The curry records finally.

871
01:34:09.060 --> 01:34:18.010
Alternate Line: For the Scottish fans amongst us. Good stuff. Okay? So there's our 5 new tracks of the week.

872
01:34:18.830 --> 01:34:23.840
Alternate Line: I don't know if there's a through line between that stuff. There probably isn't, is there? Unless you're going to tell me otherwise.

873
01:34:25.330 --> 01:34:28.710
Andrew's iPhone: No, no, it's it's just this stuff that was out 2 weeks ago.

874
01:34:28.980 --> 01:34:30.159
Alternate Line: This is supposed to be.

875
01:34:30.160 --> 01:34:31.039
Andrew's iPhone: Kind of a

876
01:34:33.570 --> 01:34:35.389
Andrew's iPhone: we'll get. We'll get caught up. Guys. Don't worry.

877
01:34:35.510 --> 01:34:37.126
Alternate Line: Oh, we will, we will.

878
01:34:37.560 --> 01:34:44.609
Alternate Line: Well, it looks like there's going to be some new Bonnevet music dropping this week as well, so maybe we'll have a wee. Listen to that if it's any any cop.

879
01:34:44.610 --> 01:34:45.440
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, I don't.

880
01:34:45.440 --> 01:34:55.190
Alternate Line: I don't take anything to do with the choosing of the tracks. I very rarely have I ever suggested a track for a playlist. I do it very occasionally, but not often, and I'll leave that to Andrew. So

881
01:34:55.230 --> 01:34:59.300
Alternate Line: I just I just hope that it is. You know we'll just have to wait and see.

882
01:34:59.560 --> 01:35:08.849
Alternate Line: whenever the time is right cool. So that's our 5 new tracks of the week guys thanks so much for listening to our probably quite long. Podcast today, I think we've cracked 1 min

883
01:35:09.390 --> 01:35:30.089
Alternate Line: 50 or something like that. Sorry 1 h 50. At this point, good for Us. Thanks for sticking with us thanks for listening to the podcast we really appreciate it. And to the 60 odd folk who listen to that random one from months ago. I don't know why you did that. But Hello! If you're out there, maybe you're in Venezuela, don't know where you are. But Hello, there!

884
01:35:30.090 --> 01:35:45.229

The podcast is, if you're a music fan, and you know, music fans is hook them up. Tell them to listen to. We heard windows

Alternate Line: Your donations are gratefully received, and go into the ongoing running of this show. Andrew.

889
01:36:20.510 --> 01:36:21.900
Alternate Line: Tis the vinyl word

890
01:36:22.550 --> 01:36:23.319
Alternate Line: it is. Yeah.

891
01:36:23.320 --> 01:36:31.739
Andrew's iPhone: Tis okay. So we're going from this week. We're going from horses to a group

892
01:36:32.400 --> 01:36:35.739
Andrew's iPhone: who are actually label mates of the the mighty Rev.

893
01:36:35.760 --> 01:36:37.370
Andrew's iPhone: These days. So

894
01:36:37.600 --> 01:36:41.170
Andrew's iPhone: a Bell Union group called I break horses.

895
01:36:41.970 --> 01:36:45.409
Andrew's iPhone: and so I break. Horses are a Swedish Indie Rock band.

896
01:36:45.610 --> 01:36:50.549
Andrew's iPhone: made or made up of Maria London and Frederick Balk.

897
01:36:50.840 --> 01:36:52.790
Andrew's iPhone: They take their name

898
01:36:52.920 --> 01:36:55.390
Andrew's iPhone: from a song by Bo Callahan.

899
01:36:56.070 --> 01:36:59.300
Andrew's iPhone: and they've had a series of albums out.

900
01:36:59.520 --> 01:37:00.720
Andrew's iPhone: including

901
01:37:01.150 --> 01:37:05.970
Andrew's iPhone: their debut album hearts from 2,011, which is which is what I've chosen to

902
01:37:06.080 --> 01:37:08.189
Andrew's iPhone: pick a track from this week.

903
01:37:08.350 --> 01:37:19.120
Andrew's iPhone: So they they've supported M. 83 cigar Ross on tour, which should give you some kind of idea of the skyscraping ambition and icy synth textures found in their music.

904
01:37:19.740 --> 01:37:25.530
Andrew's iPhone: and the second album was called Kiaskura. I know that's a kind of favorite term of views, Ian, that you like.

905
01:37:25.530 --> 01:37:25.979
Alternate Line: Need to go.

906
01:37:25.980 --> 01:37:28.059
Andrew's iPhone: For. So again, there's that kind of

907
01:37:28.240 --> 01:37:32.139
Andrew's iPhone: that kind of light and dark, soft and hard in their music

908
01:37:32.440 --> 01:37:33.600
Andrew's iPhone: and

909
01:37:33.680 --> 01:37:37.070
Andrew's iPhone: pitchforks. Ian Cohen, who's a Who's a critic I enjoy, he

910
01:37:37.180 --> 01:37:42.079
Andrew's iPhone: commented on Ibrick horses, saying that they immersed themselves in homemade sugas.

911
01:37:42.500 --> 01:37:45.229
Andrew's iPhone: the kind that's made by computers for computers.

912
01:37:45.890 --> 01:37:57.820
Andrew's iPhone: It's an approach in sound that's crossed language barriers for the past 20 or so years. As bands strive to approximate my body. Valentine's loveless without the benefit of a label that they can bankrupt in the process.

913
01:37:57.830 --> 01:38:04.159
Andrew's iPhone: And so yes, I've chosen a track called winter beats, which is the opening track of that debut album hearts.

914
01:38:04.510 --> 01:38:09.459
Andrew's iPhone: And yeah, it's just some iridescent electronic shoe gaze to keep us dreaming till next week.

915
01:38:09.900 --> 01:38:15.459
Alternate Line: All right. Here we go. So thanks so much, guys, and we will see you down the road.

916
01:39:56.040 --> 01:39:57.010
Alternate Line: She's.
