Evening all!

We’ve got more tasteful tuneage for you courtesty of The BCB Sessions.

I’ve been going through the archive sessions, getting dust up my nose and giddy about songs I haven’t heard for ages. So I’ve selected three from Bradford bands and one from Choir of Young Believers – all recorded here in our plush velvet studios.

Yorkshireguese (BCB session track) – Woman on the wireless
Chatting to Mark Hearne (aka Yorkshireguese) about what his musical instruments & house parties.
Syd Matters – Hi life
Archie Bronson Outfit – Chunk
Choir of Young Believers (BCB session track) – Under the moon. One from the archive…love the start of this song.

DAY 1 – GRIZZLY BEAR & ST VINCENT @ LEEDS MET STUDENTS UNION

St Vincent at Leeds Met

St Vincent at Leeds Met Students Union

Drowned in Sound absolutely adore St Vincent, and having seen a clip of her in soundcheck on said website a few weeks ago I was intrigued to learn that her support slot on the Grizzly Bear tour was solo. Apart from supplementary guitar on one song by Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen, it was just Annie Clark, a looping pedal, and some sequenced backing. I must say I was surprised by how diverse she could be within those limitations. As Sam commented to me after The Strangers, she somehow managed to go seamlessly from 40s jazz guitar to an onslaught reminiscent of Joe Satriani in just 30 seconds. Songs such as Save Me From What I Want worked really well with her looping backing vocals along with herself, and during the more frenetic passages of Marrow she had the appearance of a manikin suffering a seizure. Her cover of The Beatles’ Dig A Pony was a pleasant surprise too. I was very impressed, and would like to know how these songs come across with a full band.
