Penny
Drops Profile.
From
old beginnings...
Soon
after the shelving of the Bhagavad Guitars "Introversion"
recordings Jeremy Butterworth and JK went into the studio
to start work on some more songs. One of these songs was
a reworking of the Bhagavad's "See-Saw" (from the Headland
EP) using loops in place of drums for the first time.
Are
We Having Fun Yet?
Some
time later, after recording the Reckless Kelly soundtrack
with SK, Boris Goudonof, then running the studio, which
was to become Karmic Hit, started work on a new project
with JK and Jeremy Butterworth; the Penny Drops. The idea
was to challenge themselves as songwriters and produce a
diverse range of songs and, most importantly, to have some
fun in the process.
Grab
Bags...
The
first track they started on was 'Everyone Deserves a Prize'
which JK and JB had recently written. Boris brought along
a grab bag of ideas and methodologies and they quickly worked
through five tracks; revamping the reworking of "See-Saw"
and writing "It's That Time of the Month Again", "the Declaration"
and a track called "Dion" which ended up appearing on the
Bhagavad's "Hypnotised" CD.
And
Then There Was One
JB
moved up the coast to become a father while BG became embroiled
in any number of other projects (immediately - Warp Factor
9). This left JK at the helm and the already recorded Penny
Drops EP was used as the basis for the album.
Slow
and Steady
Recording
during KH studios downtime, (when no one else is in there)
JK set about creating a huge and involved musical landscape.
Inspired by a Beach Boys 'Smile' bootleg, JK became obsessed
with pulling out all stops to make a special album.
