about

We went about the recording "Trick of the light" in much the same way as the first album ("Romance&Melodrama"), by working remotely from our respective home studios in Derry and Carlow, and bouncing files back and forth. We went through a few different stages in the making of this album, building, breaking down and rebuilding the arrangements for the songs, changing direction a few times in the process.

At Shayne (Byrne: producer/collaborator)'s suggestion, we stripped the songs down to their bare bones, and rebuilt the songs using the guitar in a slightly different way to the first album. Since the songs are generally a bit darker in tone, I felt like it was important to reflect this in the music. I set about basing most of the songs around the electric guitar (as opposed to the acoustic-driven first album), taking inspiration from players like Johnny Marr (The Smiths), Andy Summers (The Police), and Geordie Walker (Killing Joke) in how I approached the use of effects and how to build an arrangement of guitars to create something a little different, but hopefully something that people can still enjoy and connect to in a meaningful way.
