HIATUS AND SHURA - 'RIVER' [FORTUNE'S FOOL, 2011]

"Meet me in the dust cloud... Meet me in the white light."

 
Hiatus: Shura and I both share an affection for music that mixes melancholic harmonies with moody basslines, and we’re both rigorous self-editors, constantly going back and trimming stuff down to its bare essentials.
I love the way Shura uses her voice like an instrument; layering and looping it in exactly the way I would if I was sampling her off a record.
For the most part she’ll come to me with vocals and a guitar line, and I’ll build the track up around that; occasionally she’s taken an old tune of mine and added lyrics...
