Body was recorded in a top-secret location!! We can’t reveal the location for various reaons, but we can tell you that it was a large, floor-boarded room with incredible reverb and echo. And that we had to push poor Rachel, then 4-months pregnant, through a window to get in.
We were once again running on a battery powered recording desk so time was of the essence, especially as we were conscious of being asked to leave at any moment.
We chose to record Body in such a space as it begs for explosions of sound and this room delivered.
The end of this song features a phone recording we took at Teufelsberg, Berlin, in July 2012. The voices of Daniel Palmer, George Weis and Terry McLeod can also be heard.
I discovered this trio via one of its members' side project called Oliver White; and I felt in love with the singer's voice instantly. Along with the right amount of minimalism and complexity, the album is beautiful and heartfelt. j
