A hat, yesterday
Now and again I mess around recording stuff with Voice Memos on the iPhone. Since I managed to get through three minutes of a Veils tune without any major fluffs, here it is in all its low-fi glory. You should be able to play using the widget here. If the play button doesn’t appear below, you probably need to view this post on TF as intended, or just get the mp3. Listen out for the plectrum-hitting-table noise at the end, it’s a highlight.
To hear the proper unmangled version, get Sun Gangs. Old suedefaced Bernard Butler worked on this one, the opening track.
Also this is probably a good opportunity to plug Stu’s band Kontakte, who employ more advanced recording techniques : )

Nice job. Hearing your singing voice takes me to back to countless Edinburgh parties with the Sunday morning sun shining through curtains of a smoky room.
Cheers for the plug, that Myspace page really needs a makeover, yuck.

Oh man totally, can see the carnage now.
What was the second song off The Bends again?

Are you developing a sorta New York twang there pal…?
Musical talent apparently skipped a generation, since your Gran was a good pianer-player!

God I hope not.
Honestly I think it’s difficult not to get a bit mid-Atlantic when you sing. Otherwise it all goes a bit Proclaimers and no one needs that. Maybe a cover of Donald Where’s Your Troosers next?
