This is wonderful track, builds up beautifully - I like the idea behind it too.

Call It Home

Here is something amazing! Allow me to unveil the first instalment of the We Come Alive Covers Project.

I drew up a list of musical friends and heroes and asked each one to submit a cover song chosen by someone else on that list. I love hearing good covers, it is such an interesting process seeing how people approach performing and recording someone else's material. I also wanted be part of bringing together the musical community that surrounds and inspires me through running We Come Alive shows in London.

Initially around 20 songwriters and bands agreed to participate. As I write this, 13 tracks have been recorded and I absolutely love them! The collection is an incredibly enjoyable, surprising, varied set of songs and I would like to begin sharing them in instalments as they are worthy of taking time to savour.

I am a huge fan of Pat Dam Smyth's work. His show at We Come Alive at The Harrison was in my top 3 of the season. This song really moved me with its stark lyrics of leaving somewhere and perhaps someone. I decided I could do it justice if I made some structural changes. I knocked it from a 3/4 waltz into a 4/4 bounce and turned up the gain. I absolutely loved working on this track and I'm very happy to share it with you. 

Here's the original:

Laish - The Great Divide (by Pat Dam Smyth)

We Come Alive is monthly night in London of carefully curated, inspirational bands and songwriters and they curated this cover's album. "I asked a group of my musical friends and heroes if they would be interested in recording a cover song by someone else in that group. Why? Well simply for the sheer hell of it. To stir the creative juices, to approach new forms of song-writing and sing different kinds of songs. To make new friends and offer a creative mark of respect.”

And this is my contribution to that album. It is the first track to emerge from Love V Fear, and I'm very happy to showcase Dan Michaelson and the Coastguards 'Sheets' as the first tentative step into the world of music making. What a song, I hope I do justice to its sweet melancholy.

Lyrics: 

I need my dirt
To get buried in the day
I like to feel surrounded
In a solitary way

We have left the realm
Of causality
Moving in together
Brings out the best in me

I am not so organised
I go by my nose
You are made of stronger stuff
And faithful to your toes

So I wanna look you in the eye
And say I tried
I'm trying

I will get to you
Like no one else gets to you
I will get inside
Where no one else gets inside
And I will hold you
Like no one else ever held you

And I will be alive
And you will be alive
Naked

I'm Learning 
I'm learning 
To love the bomb
The shell of 
The shell of
Administration

I'm learning I'm learning
To love the bomb

It is a powerful weapon
It is the force to reckon
The only true currency
Is a moment uninterrupted

So keep up with 
It's never ending
I fear
I fear we near the ending

So I'm learning 
I'm learning
To love the bomb

Learning To Love The Bomb

Strong Women, Strong Voices: Kristin McClement & Emma Gatrill - A Kings Place Podcast

Laish – Obituaries EP 
2nd April 2012

Available on limited edition cd (on tour) and available to pre-order now from Bandcamp. 
http://laishmusic.com 
For more information: danny@willkommenrecords.co.uk 
Tracks 1 and 2 mixed and co-produced by Mike Stix Steer.

Following the success of their debut, Laish return between albums to offer up a taster of things to come. This EP finds Laish in contemplative mode, asking the big questions and waiting impatiently for the answers.

Many discovered this joyous folk-infused band through their freely downloadable song and video, She is Clever; a humorous and touchingly delivered song exploring male ineptitude and female adoration. This EP marks a transition from the original band line up and the sparse sound of the first album, an album that received a glowing reception from many including Mojo magazine who were impressed by its “beguiling songs of love”.

Laish have grown up and changed up. The original line up has been transformed and now features the finest that the Willkommen Collective of Brighton has to offer. Daniel Green still provides the songs, the delicately finger picked and intensely strummed guitars and that voice. Emma Gatrill and Martha Rose provide the angelic voices and lead instrumentation of violin, clarinet and accordion; and Dan Harding and Patrick Lawrence now lay down the solid rhythm foundation that has seen their live sound turned up a few notches.

Green explains: “I have begun to loosen my grip on my songs. What started life as a song-writing and bedroom recording obsession has now grown into this fully functioning band. This new set of musicians is invigorating and we are knocking out new songs by the week. This EP perhaps marks this transition. I am still in control here but starting to relinquish some responsibility.”

The results are captivating. The EP begins with a live favourite and the song accompanied by a new music video: Obituaries, a haunting mantra of a man's obsession with death and legacy and displaying the new band at their noisiest and most intense. Visions explores similar themes but from a more personal, reflective perspective with a delicately textured and rhythmically surprising epic, recalling something of Neil Young and the production sound of Jim O'Rourke. Leave me to Lie Alone is a song by Frances Donnelly of Animal Magic Tricks. Danny: “I used to play this song with Frances at house parties and she always enjoyed my version. She told me she had abandoned the song, I could have it. I feel the song has been good to me. My version also has Kristin McClement offering her serene vocals.”

This is What I Know is a small song. A song of shared sympathy, questioned legacy and once again, death. You find Daniel alone again in that small room in Brighton with just a guitar, capturing a fragile and intimate performance – no band, just a one-take improvised banjo part and a recorded interruption that draws the song to an unexpected conclusion.

2012 will be the busiest year for Laish. A new album, Obituaries, is days from completion and they are impatient to get it out into the world as these new songs make up the bulk of their exciting and varied live shows. Go see them if you can!
