A Philarcadia song produced for Glamfest.

Max wrote the chord structure and recorded the piano, bass and acoustic guitar to which Kenny added vocals and all electric guitars. I "topped and tailed" it with a bit of lo-fi Mellotron and sparse cello and viola. Drums were mostly some multi track drum loops which I found, with a few bits added from one-shots where I couldn't make the loops fit.

Kenny mixed this one.

This is a cracker. Well put together all round with great vocals and guitar solos. Love the "strawberry fields" intro/outro. Keep up the good work guys...

Cool song that hits the nail on the head. Tasty and appropriate guitar solo. The mellotron has an almost circus-like calliope sound here, which fits perfectly.

I love the Mellotron at the intro and outro Paul! Cool vocal and guitar solo Kenny. Max the chord structure is classic as well as classy. A fine collaboration by all!

I am into electric guitars and this one sounded real good there...and those falsetto vocals are cool....good song!

Lovely crunch on the guitar and melodic as hell. Proper ear candy. That falsetto part with the four on the floor backbeat is awesome! What a superb talent combination. Love it.

I've been grooving away to this one for a while and loving it. I have to agree with Tim, that falsetto part with the rhythm change is an absolute killer, it really works so well. Loving the structure and fuzzy guitars here, and some very nice topping and tailing from Paul. Great track guys, an awesome collab.

Pauls the man,he can turn a track on its head and some of his touches create great dynamics,and a great musician as well,always a pleasure to work with these two guys.
