Ahead of the release of their debut Volery Flighty, Babe paid their fellow Scots BeatCast a visit for a stripped down version of “Dot And Carry One”. See it first here at Best Fit.
-The BeatCast sessions are well-known for welcoming raw renditions by loud, technical bands such as Three Trapped Tigers and Rolo Tomassi. Babe’s Gerard Black (François And The Atlas Mountains), however, has taken a different approach and instead stripped the band’s first release, “Dot And Carry One”, to its bare bones.
The track is lead by Black’s falsetto dexterity, drawing all attention to the melody play this is perhaps not given as much agency in the original. Coupled with a chilling atmosphere and a typically faultless production from BeatCast, the song provides a calmer perspective of the band just weeks before the release of their debut.
Volery Flighty is available from 10 March 2014 via Moshi Moshi.
