Released originally in 2015, this album has stood the test of time, with its stripped back arrangements and recording style, to compliment the sensitive and solid songwriting. The album was recorded by bass player Chris Jones, in a guerrilla recording style with no more than two microphones at a time. The grand piano was recorded first, at a local house, the drums at Nick Harrison’s Golborne Road flat, the strings, guitars and vocals back at Chris’s loft studio. The first track, Again, took the longest to get right and drove them almost crazy, and so the title Not Again, was very much earned! The Americana flavour and Country Crossover style that takes hold in Live at The Elmwood, really emerges here, and takes us all on a beautiful journey, right to the last track, On My Way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10% of Rough Trade sales go towards the cancer treatment of Nick Harrison, the drummer on this album, who is a much loved Portobello resident and musician.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50465748681035,"sku":"1084644","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3cce7792-5352-4707-8cf4-ecd0b66471d4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727295821"},{"product_id":"live-at-the-elmwood","title":"Live At The Elmwood","description":"\u003cp\u003eLive at The Elmwood is Laura Matthews \u0026amp; The Flakes’ debut album, recorded live at The Elmwood Tennis Club in Kensal Green, London, on May 12th 2017. The songs are ones they regularly play at the club, at their monthly live music night ‘Lightening The Night’. At times songs of loss and redemption, they are also tongue in cheek and life affirming in their unique Country Crossover style. The album was mixed in Portobello’s West Eleven studios by Kevin Harris and produced by Laura Matthews and Pamela Goodheart Zarubica, who those in the know would recognise as the original Suzy Creamcheese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50481165861195,"sku":"1035624","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/37c09d16-fd61-4b2e-9873-a1ddce2a16a4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727534719"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/laura-matthews.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
