about

This version came about when I recorded Tom Heather playing drums in an Eyes & No Eyes soundcheck at The Lexington. I had my own mic on his snare going through a POG and some other interesting pedals which is how some of the weird steel drum type sounds in the intro came about.
This song was written way back in about 2006 and originally performed with my university friends Helen Whitaker and Susie Christensen – guitar, drum machine, flute and clarinet!

When I realised the chords fit nicely over the recording of Tom I started putting the track together. The drum recording started to annoy me after a while as the hi-hats were too loud and I couldn’t make them sound how I wanted. I recorded a whole new version with drum machines instead but it wasn’t as good. This is where a lot of the electronic elements came in, as in the end I merged the two versions and converted the drum part to MIDI and doubled them with some drum robots called PercPro by Polyend. The piano was added at Emma’s parents’ house in Somerset.

This song is a sort of cornerstone of the record, the idea of ‘detritus’, all the broken off crumbs, dust, leftovers that ended up staying in.

I’ve known Kate Stables for a long time, I think initially through her friends Rachael Dadd and Rozi Plain, and now I sometimes play brass or occasionally electric guitar with This Is The Kit. I’m so glad she did the vocals for this so I could bury mine.

lyrics

Now you've had your fingers burned
Now you've had your lessons learned
Now that we are lost at sea
How will you remember me

about

Marcus Hamblett Brighton, UK

Marcus Hamblett is a musician from Brighton, UK. The Quietus wrote his music "could be called post-rock if it didn't also sound pre-rock or maybe as if rock had never happened & folk, modern jazz & the classical avant-garde had merged into a stream of hip, innovative music to soundtrack the changes & discontents of the second half of the twentieth century instead, & Joe Meek had dug John Cage." ... more
