Recorded by Brian Campeau at The Plex Recording Studio in Sydney, Australia

Lyrics: 
No one lays alone, no one stays at home
Took some good advice, always hold the dice

Heard you on the phone, had to fake the tone
Making plans to claim, meeting in the rain

What you got going?
Is it all in my head?

Followed you last night, drove over the rise
Not in class no more, saw you go through his door

My mind's like a maze, running every play
so I pack my bags, leaving in the haze

No one lays alone
No one stays at home
Took some good advice, always hold the dice

Release Date:  1 June 2015

No One Lays Alone

Drive Slow

Our fifth episode of Reversal of the Muse is Laura’s conversation with Olga FitzRoy, who was recently crowned Recording Engineer of the Year 2016 at the MPG awards. Following her Music and Sound Recording degree, Olga trained as an engineer and mixer in the renowned AIR Studios in London, where she’s worked on chart-topping records for Coldplay, The Foo Fighters and Muse. She also assisted Sir George Martin on the last ever Beatles recording for the 2006 album, Love, as well as working with top film composers such as Hans Zimmer.

Laura and Olga are both well accustomed to the long working hours of the studio. Together they discuss whether women are able to meet the demands of working in a studio and still have children, or if the two are mutually exclusive which has consequently lead to the male dominated environment. Laura also notes that women scientifically hear differently to men, which sparks the question: Have we been creating records for the male ear, as most of our studio mixers are male? Olga and Laura consider if we’re missing a feminine part to everything behind music and the way it’s created.

For our sixth Reversal of the Muse podcast, Laura is in Nashville talking to Pamela Cole, co-owner of ‘Fanny’s House Of Music’. Pamela and her co-founder Leigh Maples,   wanted a guitar shop that was comfortable for everyone, having found that music stores tended to be focused on a male demographic. Therefore Fanny’s unique motto, is to serve those who are typically left out of that experience, and is one of the only guitar shops in the world aimed at female guitarists.

Laura is now a repeat customer of Pamela’s, and together they chat about how they’ve experienced misconceptions and pre-judgement in other guitar shops, as women are often assumed to be beginner guitarists or looking on behalf of a man. Laura and Pamela also think about the process of women learning from other women, and if there’s a difference in the way that women teach. Fanny’s welcomes and inspires both extroverts and introverts, as Pamela and Laura believe it’s important to encourage all female guitarists and nurture their musical talent and expression.

In our seventh Reversal of the Muse podcast, Laura is joined by fellow musician and friend Marika Hackman. Marika’s beautiful debut album, ‘We Slept At Last’, was released in 2014. She has since joined sold out tours with alt-J, The 1975 and of course, Laura.

In this episode, Laura and Marika recall their early experiences of being on tour, and how they adapted to the dynamic of male-dominated tour buses. Like Laura, Marika would be intrigued to record in a studio run by women, as it’d be interesting to see whether an artist would feel less pressure to perform and be more inclined to share ideas. Laura and Marika also discuss the contradiction of many female artists today, by the way they’re sexualised by the media but also presented as strong and independent.

For our ninth Reversal Of The Muse episode, Laura is joined by fantastic London-based singer-songwriter and producer Shura. After releasing singles ‘2Shy’, ‘Touch’ and ‘What’s It Gonna Be?’ to a glowing reception, July 2016 brought Shura’s debut album ‘Nothing’s Real’. For the second part of their conversation, Laura and Shura are joined by previous Reversal Of The Muse guest and friend, Marika Hackman.

Laura recorded this podcast just after ’Nothing’s Real’ was released, and Shura explains she made a conscious effort to construct her album cohesively, with the aspiration to create records in the way she consumes them: listening in their entirety from start to finish. However, Laura and Shura share the same difficulty when they’re in the midst of making records and travelling, as they find themselves detached from listening to other music which inspires them. As Marika joins the conversation, the trio discuss how Marika’s early presentation in the media emphasises a problem many female musicians encounter: journalists can focus on everything but the great music they produce.

Release Me

Canberra based blues troubadours PJ Michael & The Banditas have emerged from the studio with their debut EP “All Night Long” in tow and a national tour to boot. A compilation of four songs, perfected over years of performing, balanced, bolstered and brought to life by the newly arranged five piece line up, All Night Long, is a sweeping journey of toe-tapping escapism and heartbreak.
Recorded in Canberra’s boutique Studio 68 with producer Matt Barnes, All Night Long, is a welcome and highly anticipated offering filled with lush production, weeping violin, vibrant harmonies, the warmth of a resonator guitar and a tale to be told. In the vein of artists from Justin Townes Earle and John Hurt to Nick Cave and Laura Marling, All Night Long, stands strong in a genre rich with simple beauty.
Hitting the road for their first national tour, PJ Michael & The Banditas, will sweep the East Coast from Sydney to Adelaide with a live show that has seen the band previously share stages with Steve Smyth, The Snowdroppers, Liam Wright and The Timbers, as well as having played major festivals Majors Creek and Enlighten.
