My friend Joe Sparrow (head honcho at A New Band A Day and online coordinator for ASK ME PR) has begun a project compiling album commentaries with various artists. I recently became the first of his interviewees (aka the guinea-pig).
The full-length commentary for “Youth” is still being edited together (he’s probably trying to remove the persistent sound of clinking wine glasses) but here’s a little taster from the beginning of the interview in which we discuss the album in general terms.
For more information about the album visit The Bedlam Six site.
For every ebullient, rollicking, bombastic Bedlam Six song I write there tends to be born with it a furtive, introspective and slightly malformed twin (which must be immediately shooed away into the nearest attic or coal cellar). The fun tunes are toured, arranged and recorded by my indecently talented bandmates and generally given the freedom to feel the sunshine upon their musical skin. The songs’ neglected shrunken siblings, however, must cope as best they can with restricted glimpses through cage bars.
