As heard previously on Brumcast!

As this recording is now out and about “in the wild” I thought it time I put it up on here too. As I mentioned before in the previous plug for Brumcast, there’s some blurb about the song in this post. I’ve edited out the mildly incomprehensible verse I wrote about the modern art sculpture of a swing that used to adorn the St Chad’s circus roundabout, as most people I played it to hadn’t a clue what I was on about!

The instrumentation on this one is strings-only: acoustic bass guitar, mandolin, acoustic rhythm guitar and acoustic lead guitar. The lead guitar part was played on a Nashville-strung guitar (i.e. the bottom four strings are an octave higher than normal, giving it a really luminous quality) and it’s got loads of reverb on it.

Any of you who are avid fans of The Jesus And Mary Chain might notice that some phrases in the guitar solos are “inspired by” the Mary Chain song “Why’d You Want Me?”
