Flares ft. Laura Misch by oli Bond published on 2020-09-29T21:42:23Z This track was written early on in the writing partnership between myself and @phoebegrace up in a small room above the ambulance depot on Tottenham Court Road. We had just bought Buddy Miles live from Sounds of the Universe in Soho. The version of ‘Down by the River’ seriously blew our minds. Especially the trombone solo. Booked in to record in Cambridge the following week with an old friend of mine, Will Walter. We played a live session - freely. That was in 2017. Since, the session has sat quietly on my hard drive, shown to friends and family. The track has morphed into a more complex piece and the final and happy addition was a saxophone recording by Laura Misch. We had met in a sunny pub garden in Sussex. I remember that I smashed a pot hole that afternoon and turned up late with a replacement wheel... very rockstar. She was very gracious and showed an interest in my music and recorded a piece that was immediately recognisable as her. I’m lucky to have it. It’s influenced by that Buddy Miles record, nods to THE Neil Young solo that was the first I mastered on guitar (not saying much). That’s a tall claim but I’m standing on their shoulders. I hope you enjoy the track. I’ve had it up my sleeves for years now and I am excited to let it go and fly. Please #share FLARES.

Loved it, especially the awesome guitar. Reminds us a little of the Alchemeon song It's A Blue Sky Don't Hold No Rain in feel. which has a big ||: Em7 - A7 :|| groove in it as well. Fabulous work ladies and gentlemen. :) 2020-11-28T16:26:05Z
