I really enjoy recording covers. There's something about getting into someone's production style. It's like solving a puzzle. It can be hellishly frustrating trying to figure out how they created that sound. I am an audiophile to my core. I love live music, but no other medium of entertainment brings me as much sustained wonder as recorded music. It's the vinyl crackle that Cypress Hill use, and the snare drum in Poison by The Prodigy, and whatever the hell Jim Sutherland did

I saw The Beta Band at T in the Park in the early 2000s and was hooked. The 3 EPs was one of those albums I played on repeat. I remember being amazed that those sounds and the incredible audio craft came from somewhere so close to me (in Fife if I remember right!). It’s great to hear they’re back on the road.
