Info for Pitch

Adam and Patrick followed a similar pathway in these records as they have in the past for their first and second albums and first single. They began two years ago in the UK in Birmingham and Bristol where they created 62 demos with help from local Bristol Jazz musicians.

They selected 12 tracks and took these to the Bunker studio in Brooklyn where Alex recorded additional parts from 5 New York Jazz musicians. The music was brought back to London and mixed in the Premises studios and mastered at Abbey Road and Metropolis studios.

Sometimes a record is like a postcard. It can capture a moment to allow you to remember where you were and who you were with. With this idea in mind, each of these tracks was created with the help of a visual image. For example, in ‘Across the water’ you might be looking across a lake in the early morning and a breath of wind shoots ripples across the water and a bird looks silently down from a branch. Or in ‘Farewell’ where someone is saying goodbye to the one they love at a railway station, but they’ve never told them and that’s why they’re leaving. And just as the train starts to move all the words that they meant to say come spilling out, but the other person can’t hear as the train window is closed and they’re left alone on an empty platform. Or in ‘Fever Dream’ where a child is ill in bed at night with a high temperature, and the moon shines through the curtains casting shadows on the wall that look like wild animals. Or in ‘Ristrophe’ when you are back in the day of Charlie Parker.
