About the new  album PETAL NAILS
The recording of Petals Nails began soon after the release of the 
critically acclaimed "Walking quickly standing still .

Walking quickly standing still opens with the track "Carlisle 
this track was the last track to be recorded for the album. unlike the rest of the album which was a collaboration between musicians Glenn O’Halloran and Blake Leyh "Carlisle was in fact a collaboration between Glenn and Blake with added instrumentation and vocals supplied by Glenn’s collaborators from the band Dancing counterparts with Howard Lewis playing guitar big tenor Joe O’Halloran saxophone and Brent O’Halloran vocals.

The recording sessions for Petals Nails came from the method used from the track Carlisle.
Glenn uses a technique which he “calls get it down no mucking about”
Two hours limit that’s two hours for the whole session including setting up so the musicians play for probably one hour
 the other method Glenn tries to employ is that the musicians do not hear the music beforehand so they play the first thing that hits them.
Glenn says the reason I work this way with people is  not to put the artists  under pressure but to show  confidents in them ,
to be able to contribute without the hassle of spending hours trying to get something down and ultimately failing in the original plan which is to collaborate rather than dictate and create something fresh daring and new with out the pondering . 
Early July 2021 recording sessions began with Glenn creating outlines and blueprints for songs.
For example Glenn would go to saxophone player Joes with his mobile setup spend 20 minutes drinking tea and talking about other things for example a last session we talked about the music used in early 60s films and the sax playing of John Dankworth and Tubby Hayes discussed the vibe of the silvery black-and-white movies and the mono sound. Then Joe put the headphones on Glenn press's record and lets you rip., all of the saxophone recorded on Petals Nails is first take
Glenn uses the exact same method when working with Howard Lewis guitarist. 
Brent worked on the vocal and choral arrangements keeping in mind the first thing that comes into your head.
Brent also added piano harmonica and some acoustic guitar on songs he felt needed it.
Classical violinist Sophie Knochelman collaborated from her home town  Basel Switzerland .
The UK Swiss recordings mixed and worked on in Blake Leyh’s studio in Harlem New York 
Blake adding cello and double bass.
The lyrics were created with almost similar approach unlike Walking quickly standing still which was based on characters 
Petals nails would an other worldly approach to lyrics Glenn used memories of dreams as springboards 
The one example Glenn gives is Laura (in the rainstorm) he  woke up from a dream where Howard Lewis was singing in a studio with his falsetto voice the line Laura is in a snowstorm Glenn wrote it down the following morning Glenn sang it into his dictaphone.
Laura ended up being a rainstorm and a metaphor for other things.
Though the album is not a concept album as such it was created as an album meaning when tracks were arranged and mixed with the knowledge of what track came before and goes after Dogzen Zendog hope people listen to the album from beginning to end.
The album is released May 27 on limited edition turquoise vinyl and CD as well as the usual streaming services on XENOTONE Imprint

Avec plus de deux décennies d’expérience, Deefenbecker est un DJ suisse ancré dans la scène locale qui s’offre également quelques échappées internationales vers des horizons plus exotiques.

Parmi ses destinations les plus notables, on peut souligner ses passages au Happy Bouddha Club de Phu Quoc, au Vietnam, et à la mythique Police Beach de Koh Rong, au Cambodge – des instants suspendus qui ont marqué les esprits.

Son univers musical s’étire avec la souplesse des saisons et la profondeur de ses émotions. Il reste toutefois fidèle à deux grands axes qui le caractérisent : la Techno Peak Time, influencée par la Minimal, la Progressive et la Psytech, ainsi que le Downtempo aux sonorités Organic et Deep House.

Il compose ses sets avec passion, groove et précision afin de tracer une ligne musicale qui s’accorde à ses exigences et, surtout, qui transporte les auditeurs vers des paradis sonores enivrants. Pour lui, le voyage importe autant que la destination et chacune de ses prestations est une invitation à l’évasion.

Fondateur et président de l’Association Helvetek, Deefenbecker s’investit activement pour la promotion des musiques électroniques actuelles. Avec ses membres, il porte des initiatives qui allient fête et culture, comme le festival Cerise sur Electro, contribuant ainsi à nourrir la scène helvétique d’événements d’envergures régionales, mais non moins uniques.
