 Our first release since 2021 is out today!

Recently Deleted is on Spotify HERE

and on Bandcamp HERE

The Blue Yellows are dedicating this track to "everyone who has lost someone close to them". 

The track is inspired both by the deep sense of loss experienced in bereavement, while also placing these emotions and memories in the context of a disjointed-feeling world where previous foundations are crumbling and disparate voices inhabit the social realm.

On day one of the release, we also have a review in, a really good one, too. Beff writing for The Leopheard says that the track captures "... the raw essence of human emotion" with its intensity and "masterfully crafted" instrumentalistation. We're chuffed about this and really appreciate such a deep-dive.

Our good friend and production maestro José kindly offered to mix & master this & our following track. We couldn't say "no". José is a musical perfectionist and he's had the stems since late February now & we know won't have rested until it sounds as good as it possibly can. Now

we can really get the ball rolling!

M Tea V

 Tonight we recorded a music video in that oh-so-familiar space, Em's kitchen. We recorded perhaps 40 odd minutes of footage on 2 mobile phones from multiple angles. This is for such a low-key, melancholic and "real" song of raw but focused emotion, that the thinking is that we can get away with the "realness" of mobile phone footage.

 We had a great time as we always do with such a lovely bunch of people I'm delighted to call my band mates.  

Backed by Friends

 Our good friends Tim Lee (ie THAT Tim Lee ) & Lucy joined us to add some roudy gang vocals tonight. 

Keeping the process afloat.

I'm getting as much as I can done recording wise, at home on the old narrowboat.

It's all going accordion to plan.

Day (or rather night) 2 in our makeshift studio and it's time to laydown some melodic keys and some pumping accordion.

Simon recorded his bass lines the modern way; remotely and dropboxed me the wavs... and Wav not, I mean why not?

Carry On Cajon

 In our makeshift studio tonight for some acoustic percussion recording.

Recording prep.
