Wave Pictures - A Season In Hull - LP

Sello: Wymeswold

Darren Hayman suggested to us that The Wave Pictures make an album with one micro-phone. Everybody together in one room playing live into one microphone. The idea appealed to me enormously. Its a really beautiful sound, the one microphone sound. The results tend to be mysterious and lively, and its a very romantic way to record, too. Its how Bill Monroe and His Bluegrass Boys did it, after all (and thats how bluegrass music destroyed John Faheys life). I decided to write some songs as quickly as possible and then to invite a bunch of our friends to make a recording with The Wave Pictures on my birthday,
