Parla Piu Piano Guitar

But Your Face Was Showing Nothing

An intimate piano and vocal cover of Co-op by Bess Atwell. Recorded live in one take on a baby grand in London ; keeping it soft ; close ; and honest ; with a few natural pauses so the lyrics can breathe.

I have loved this song for a while. I used to be working over on Portland Road ; and back then I would keep popping into the Tesco nearby ; I did not even know about the Co-op at the time. I definitely prefer a Co-op and wish I had been going there instead ; but Tesco still had that thing where they were always playing music ; so the place is tied to songs and little moments for me.

It also takes me back to being younger in house shares ; finding bits of furniture left out on the street ; carrying them home ; and redoing the place with whatever we could make work.

I stayed close to the core mood of the original ; but brought it into a quieter ; late night Rita Road Sessions feel ; just voice ; piano ; and a gentle sense of space.

If you are searching for Bess Atwell covers ; Co-op cover ; piano vocal covers ; acoustic covers ; or stripped back sessions ; I hope this gives you something calm to sit with.

Rita Road Sessions
Music from the heart of London.

Co-op ; Bess Atwell (Acoustic Cover by olliray) (Live)

Amniotic Acoustic EP

Swallow (Acoustic Version)

Singer-songwriter and electronic music producer. To many that might sound like two very different aspects of modern sound culture - which in turn makes Monolink a fascinating character, because he's both rolled into one. His style seamlessly connects the narrative structure of a song with the compelling forward thrust of electronic rhythms. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts, passionate physicality meets sublime stimulation for the mind.
