Tom Herbert's Bass. Tom Herbert's and Kev Feazey's beards. My Shania Twain video

...Just recorded lovely double bass by Tom Herbert (Polar Bear, Acoustic Ladyland) for the new album.

I'm really looking forward to how these tracks will sound! A track called Caledonian Sleeper, one called My Secret Hell, and we did some double bass on the new recording of What Is It In You? Which will NOT sound the same as the old version! Eeeek!

Tom and Kevin Feazey (with whom I am co-producing the album) have exactly the same beard. I'm so sorry I did not get a photo opportunity in. You'll just have to take my word for it. I do not have the same beard as either Tom Herbert or Kevin Feazey. We had a lovely conversation about war and governments, conspiracies and responsibility. Sociological debate is mandatory in my house. Kev instructed me to hide the Shania Twain video I had in my bedroom (the recording room). I'm of the understanding that every human being holds Shania Twain's lightbeam closely to their hearts. She's for the people. But sometimes her music is misconstrued and, to unenlightened people, can seem quite scary. As a result of the concealed video, working its power under a Tori Amos VHS and some remote controls, Tom's bass parts were performed excellently. Some even with a bow! Sumptuous loveliness (musicianship has become like food and/or a good quality John Lewis feather duvet to me).


Interim Jessica Grace Bandcamp goings on are as follows:
New releases (all free download/pay what you want):
Strange Machines EP - all the tracks from the EP I used to sell on the London Acoustic circuit when I first moved here. Started off with 6 tracks, ended up with 13 tracks after people kept offering to record me!
This Guy (single) - the 2 first ever songs I recorded with Kev Feazey
(also available on the Strange Machines EP)
Also coming soon to Bandcamp will be 'More Quirk, Less Work' - a collection of all the songs that were worked on in the process of me recording my first album, and acoustic sketches from 2008/9, PLUS an album of demos of the songs that did not make this album. Prolificness-tastic.

Also, set for August this year I will be touring Germany. More about this to follow.
