Gavin Sutherland - A Curious Noise (2015)

The seeds of 'A Curious Noise' were sown while I was out and about, doing a few gigs. With hotel room time on my hands, and plenty of courtesy note paper lying around, I began to scribble down rough ideas until I had enough raw material for an album in my suitcase. When I eventually got around to recording, in the summer this year, I decided to do it all in mono, a sound I'd loved since I first put a tenner in a big Wurlitzer juke box, way back in my 'teens, and a sound I knew would suit what we were putting together. We enjoyed making 'A Curious Noise' and hope you like what we've done. The album was recorded on a Mac machine loaded with Pro Tools software. Working in mono definitely gave the whole thing a bang and I've since read that Pavarotti prefered to record in mono so that his voice sat in front of everything else on the track. Just thought I'd throw that in.
