Another Foilface session came and went last night and another tune is in the can (but for the sake of a sensible polish). What fun this Saturday recording malarky is. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. It certainly beats being squeezed into a bar somewhere, eating twiglets and sucking in my gut as I wink at ladies and pretend to be interesting to strangers.
Our latest opus is called ‘We are the Broken Steeples’ (or maybe just ‘Broken Steeples’ as it sounds a bit less like something a cheesy 1970′s country and western band from Newcastle might holler as they step onto the stage of a spit and sawdust pub in Rochdale). After 20 or so listens it sounds a bit like Odelay-era Beck meets Gruff Rhys’ solo stuff to me but it’s tricky to pin down. The words sinister and perky spring to mind. Maybe we’ve created a new genre – ‘Sinister-Perk’.
Anyway, at some point over the next few months you’ll get the chance to hear it on this site if you fancy (there’s already a couple of tunes on our mp3 page if your curious and fancy some free Manchester music for your ipod).
