HalfwayAnswered by: John Busby
Single title? Dulcify
What’s the song about? The song is about the everyday highs and lows and in-betweens. Wrapped up in thoroughbred racing metaphors.
How long did it take to write/record? All of the songs on the new record were easy to write. They pretty much wrote themselves. The majority of the tracking was done live in the studio in a one-week block.
Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? The song Dulcify is the second single from our new album, Any Old Love, which was released in February 2014.
What was inspiring you during the songs writing and recording? Any Old Love is a series of stories based around a young couple in the mid 1970s who are trying to make a new life in a remote regional town. The songs are essentially childhood memories.
We’ll like this song if we like... Roberto Duran, Centro-matic, Richmond Fontaine, JMW Turner.
Do you play it differently live? If it’s different live then that is an accident. The idea is to play it like the record... I am happy to leave improvisation and jam-outs for the jazz guys.
