.​.​. And Then There Were Four

by Sheer

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Former Creation artist Sheer/Sheer Taft releases first new album in over 25 years, featuring Andrew Innes, Martin Duffy and Darren Mooney of Primal Scream.

    In 2018 after a particularly messy session involving Pacharan, a Spanish version of Pernod, the name and then there were four was bandied around as my fellow travellers fell by the wayside, sounded like a Spaghetti western…..and the idea was hatched.

    We began recording in Artesonao studios in Malaga, myself and Ed Chapman, a renowned English artist, we were ably assisted by Rachel Hewitt on violin we recorded a dozen or so tunes in a week. We recruited the services of Darrin Mooney and Martin Duffy of Primal Scream on drums and keys, both of whom managed…..just to avoid being locked down in Spain as the borders closed at the beginning of the pandemic. Andrew Innes assisted ably on additional guitars, celeste and bells…lots of bells. Robert McGovern came out o Malaga to play on a few tracks also. We had the voice of Justine Petty – Burrows a Canadian chanteuse to be a foil to my less than acrobatic voice.

    The record was a return to my favourite music of my youth, soaking up Dylan, Scott Walker, Tim Buckley, Tim Rose, Tim Hardin and the soundtracks of Morricone, like an old compilation tape from 1986. Ed and I based the record on a screenplay being written by him and his brother Ivan Chapman, a tale of a loner, returning to old haunts with trepidation and an awareness of the inevitable dangers he had left behind.
