Big Big Train: presentano la versione live in studio di “Last Eleven”
Comunicato stampa:
Dopo la Cruise To The Edge di quest’anno, i BIG BIG TRAIN sono entrati negli Sweetwater Studios di Fort Wayne, Indiana, per prendere parte a una sessione di registrazione e mix sotto la supervisione del lider maximo Shawn Dealey. Questa sessione ha dato alla band l’opportunità di registrare una versione alternativa di “Last Eleven”, la canzone di chiusura dell’acclamato nuovo album “The Likes Of Us”. Guarda il video:
Il brano è disponibile su tutte le piattaforme streaming: https://bigbigtrain.lnk.to/
Shawn ha già lavorato con grandi artisti come Steve Hackett, Spock’s Beard, Animals As Leaders, Counting Crows, Jared James Nichols, Bootsy Collins, Beth Hart e molti altri. Disponibili maggiori informazioni sul sito ufficiale dello studio: https://sweetwaterstudios.com/
Lead vocalist Alberto Bravin comments: “Having rehearsed at Sweetwater before our USA shows and Cruise To The Edge in March, it was wonderful to return there for a recording session. It was interesting to take an alternative approach to Last Eleven, which differs significantly from the version released on The Likes Of Us album. We really enjoyed working with Shawn in Sweetwater’s amazing studios and hope to return there again in the future.”
Drummer Nick D’Virgilio adds: “I really get into how songs make me feel and this version of Last Eleven, with its mellow beginning, has such a great vibe to it. Not that the original has anything wrong with it at all! I just like how the story in the song now comes across. It starts mellow, revs up and gets powerful, then ends mellow again. It also showcases some wonderful vocals.”
Guitarist/keyboardist Rikard Sjöblom says: “We had this idea to take it down in the first verse, which I think turned out really sweet! I ended up doing the intro on acoustic guitar, with Oskar [Holldorff, keyboards] on Fender Rhodes and Clare [Lindley] adding some nice violin lines, which turned Last Eleven into a different song for me. I also played some electric baritone guitar later in the song too, which added some further flavour to the overall sound. I think I like this new version even better than the original!”
Big Big Train headline the final Night Of The Prog festival in Germany on 21st July before making their debut at the renowned Cropredy Festival in the UK on 9th August. The band then undertake their own headline tour in September and October, playing 13 shows across the UK and Europe, before returning to co-headline Cruise To The Edge in April next year.
