The last time demo teaser

Demo teaser of a song by Balsamo/Deighton co-written with Julian Wilson of Grand Drive. We tried out the song for key, vibe, tempo and to see if our voice blend or 'the rub' as Emmylou puts it, is working. We like it and have put down another version with producer John Reynolds but have changed up a couple of words here and there. The last line pay off now goes ' bad luck for me, and bad luck for you'...

Balsamo Deighton - I Don't Know Why (preview clip)

Written with Emma Jane Thommen and recorded at Chris Sheehan's studio in London. We kept it sparse and spectral with just Em on piano and added a tracked up harmony vocal to add some atmosphere. Will probably put a spooky twangy guitar when we come to record proper for the album.

The Ghost Of Me And You

Written and recorded at Dean St Studios Soho London, during a session for another song, These Four Walls. Someone started playing a few chords, and 3 hours later Drive On was finished. Ben Robbins wrote it with us and produced.
