17. Honeypie written by Brian Shea
Brian – vocals/guitar/percussion. Gary – bass. Dan – percussion/screams/violin. Jade – vocals.
A track you will either love or hate. Dan’s then girlfriend, Jade, shared the mic with me and I found it quite awkward singing such a suggestive song with my son’s 17 year old girlfriend, but it again added to the tension. I wanted this song to sound like an outtake from the Velvet Underground’s ‘White Light White Heat’ LP; something quite hard to listen to. We recorded everything live on the vocal mic and then just played it back loudly and redid the instrumental parts, recording it all over again. It worked and gave the feeling of chaos and also fed back like fuck. After we finished recording I remember Gary coming up to me and saying “Now you have that out of your system can we not go back to writing and recording properly like we used to?”. He left a year later..
Sounds like Daniel Johnston off his nut on special brew with a portion of chips and gravy. Proper good stuff; angry and funny. Love the lo-fi (or no-fi) aesthetic and fuck off attitude. boycalledcrow
Such a Bordellos record is this. Typically eccentric and recorded and played to their own unique specifications. But, as usual, amongst it the melodies are pretty much all a joy to behold. In a couple of numbers I'm reminded of the quaint off-kilter songs Lou Reed used to write for Mo Tucker to sing in the Velvets. Gavin Hellyer
