These tracks are mostly early iterations of the songs released on caroline 2.
Minimal acoustic versions of Coldplay cover and U R UR ONLY ACHING; an impromptu version of When I get home recorded in Peckham Rye park in 2022 ); we have also included a recording of the club track from the first half of When I get home. This was recorded from the front bathroom of Avalon Cafe and is a track produced by our friends Daniel S Evans and Jennifer Walton.
We have always loved the quality of phone and portable mic recordings: both how casual and informal they feel, but also because they tend to capture freer and more explorative playing in that precious writing stage, before a song congeals into something solid. It feels like there is almost something mysterious at work in these recordings that can never be replicated or mimicked. greek2go – is also a phone recording. It was recorded in what was then the empty shell of a former Greek dark kitchen, but has since become our studio – and is an improvisation with three guitars and singing in an empty, reverberant room. It never made it onto the album but it is a piece of music we are really proud of
