For The Family

On 9th April, 27 musicians who had never played together recorded an album of 12 songs in 6 hours at Les Studios Ferber.

This is a sampler of all 12 tracks that were recorded in 6 hours by these 27 strangers as part of Buswell & Nyberg's Paris Orchestra Challenge.

Paris Orchestra Challenge Sampler

Summing the band and music of Buswell is an enigma in itself. Shaun Buswell is a singer/songwriter with a band larger than a football squad. He scores all the written musical parts himself but cannot read a note of music. He performs with a line-up that is in double figures and includes classical string, brass and woodwind sections but makes them play indie folk in the spirit of Captain Beefheart. It’s something akin to taking a movie filmscore and condensing it into a folky pop song.

The result of which in the last few years has seen them support or be supported by acts such as Foals, Amy MacDonald & Frank Turner, whilst completing three full UK tours, getting playlisted on MTV, reaching number 1 on the Amazon Hot 100 CD singles chart, as well as being heard on XFM and BBC’s radiowaves.

"The lush orchestral pop-with-a-purpose of singer-songwriter Shaun Buswell sent shivers down my spine...and the vocals of Zoe Mead – the Lisa Hannigan counterpoint to his Damien Rice" - The Independent Newspaper, UK
