Ben Watt / Bricks And Wood (Live On 6Music, 31.10.13)

Taken from the forthcoming album Soft Rains, out Feb 23rd 2015.
Zarelli is the alter-ego of Carwyn Ellis – a much-coveted tour de force producer/multi-instrumentalist who has recently earned plaudits as the man behind the music for the 2014 award-winning documentary about Edwyn Collins, The Possibilities Are Endless.  
With this new project Zarelli has taken the 1975 vocal recording of Leonard Nimoy reading Ray Bradbury's unsettling but vital short story There Will Come Soft Rains (taken from The Martian Chronicles, 1950), and amped up the sensations with an original composed soundtrack that is (like the story) beautiful, tragic and tense.

"Monday (Everytime I Turn Around)" by The Bottle Rockets

Sweet yet strong. Serene yet steadfast. She strives toward the light and all is revealed.

My Sweetheart Honeysuckle

I'm gonna steal some bedsheets
From an amputee
I'm gonna mount em on a canvas
In the middle of the gallery
I'm gonna tell everybody it was painted by a chimpanzee
But just between you me
Here at the cultural low water mark
If it's fraud or art
They'll pay you to believe

I'm gonna take five young dudes
From white families
Gonna mount em on a billboard
In the middle of the country
I'm gonna tell everybody they sing like angels with whiter teeth
But just between you and me
They're just like the ones before
With their standards lower
Every concert goer will pay you to believe

Caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night
Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognize
And as the world is getting smaller
Small things take up all your time
Narcissus would have had a field day if he could have got online
And friends it's not self-love that kills you
It's when those who hate you are allowed
To sell you that you're a glorious shit the entire world revolves around
And that you're the eater, and not the eaten
But that your hunger will only cease
If you come binge on radiant blandness at the disposable feast

Just quickly how would you rate yourself
In terms of sex appeal and cultural significance 
Do you usually listen to music like this
We can recommend some similar artists
Are you feeling depressed?
But your feedback's important
To us

Gonna buy myself a sports team
And put em in a pit
Gonna wage the old crusade
Against consciousness
All I need is a couple winners to get every loser to fight in it
You keep the golden calf
I just need the bullshit
They won't just sell themselves into slavery
They'll get on their knees and pay you to believe

Cross Record "Steady Waves"

Last year we were asked to write a tune for the Bond movie Spectre.
Yes we were. It didn’t work out, but became something of our own, which we love very much.
As the year closes we thought you might like to hear it.
Merry Christmas. May the force be with you.

Spectre

From the 2011 Parsons Thibaud 'Transcontinental Voices' CD

Lenteavond een uur na flinke regenbuien in Bos en Lommer. Op de achtergrond is de ring A10 rond Amsterdam goed te horen. De merel zingt zijn lied en er wordt wat gerommeld in keukens met openstaande deuren. Opgenomen op de 3e verdieping vanaf het balkon. 
Spaced Omni opstelling met DPA4060's en een Marantz PMD661. Geen filters of editing.
