about

On a particularly long drive on a western Canadian tour, talk turned to how bands used to record live-off-the floor with no overdubs. That no safety net approach brought an immediacy to the recordings. “We spent one day, from noon to 1am, recording these songs,” says vocalist/violinist Amanda Balsys. “We really wanted to put out something that reflected the feel of the live band with its new members.” Along with bassist Wes McClintock, and vocalist/guitarist Will Whitwham, they went into Revolution studios in the Leslieville area of Toronto and recorded five songs including three songs written by Whitwham, Yellow Yard by Balsys and a John Martyn song called Head and Heart.
