I'll be there


Proseguono i festeggiamenti per il primo compleanno del We Were Never Being Boring collective e oggi siamo super felici di presentarvi I'll Be There, singolo di debutto in free download per Welcome Back Sailors, duo reggiano che in appena tre canzoni saprà trasportarvi dalla Bassa alle Baleari. Bedroom synth pop con una finestra ben spalancata verso un cielo terso: i ritmi sono flessuosi come le onde calme del pomeriggio e le melodie scintillano come il sole tra le foglie. Canzoni che lasciano scorrere la sabbia tra le mani, riverberi senza fretta, just chillin'.



We keep celebrating We Were Never Being Boring collective's first birthday and today we are super happy to present you I'll Be There, the free download debut single by Welcome Back Sailors, a duo from Reggio Emilia who will transport you from the Bassa to the Balearic Islands in just three songs. Bedroom synth-pop with a window wide open to a clear blue sky: their beats flex like the calm waves of the afternoon and the melodies shine like the sun through the leaves. The songs slip by like the sand between your hands, reverbs without haste, just chillin'.

This is The Biggest Way!

Oslo was blissfully beautiful and after warm cup of tea Le Man Avec Les Lunettes played a special version of "The Biggest Way", off their album Plaskaplaskabombelibom.

We Were Never Being Boring collective is super happy to release a new song by My Bubba & Mi, a present specially made for their recent italian tour. His Clancyness heard it and decided to join the WWNBB's birthday celebration and recorded a cover:
There is quite a distance in the music that we make but while attending and filming a radio session with My bubba & Mi I heard their jingle. Three girls ready to rough up the already bruised Italian land.
I was instantly taken in and tried to learn the lyrics on the spot. I remembered the melody but forgot to press start on the camera, therefore no video but an instant urge to run home, learn the song and record it. That's what I did. I love the lyrics and I love the fact of being a male singing them. I was also told the girls were pretty strict about their music making magic, so yeah, in the back of my mind I wanted to get it right, get some bliss in it, I added a verse. I hope I got it right. If not at least I have a new soothing melody inside me.

[Jonathan Clancy / his clancyness]
Still available, How It’s Done In Italy was released on March 8th by We Were Never Being Boring (CD and LP with amazing handmade covers!).



Questo singolo è una nuova canzone delle My Bubba & Mi, un regalo che ci hanno fatto in occasione del loro recente tour in Italia. His Clancyness l'ha sentita e ha deciso di unirsi ai festeggiamenti per il compleanno della WWNBB registrandone una cover:
C'è una certa distanza nella musica che facciamo, ma mentre stavo filmando una sessione radio di My bubba & Mi, ho sentito il loro jingle. Tre ragazze pronte a percorrere nuovamente la nostra penisola. Sono stato subito colpito e ho cercato di imparare immediatamente il testo della canzone. Mi sono ricordato la melodia ma ho dimenticato di premere start sulla videocamera, quindi nessun video, ma l'impulso immediato di correre a casa, imparare la canzone e registrarla. Ed è quello che ho fatto. Mi piace il testo e mi piace il fatto che sia un uomo a cantarla. Mi avevano detto che le ragazze sono abbastanza rigide sul loro magico modo di fare musica, quindi avevo in testa di farla bene, di aggiungere qualcosa di speciale e ho aggiunto un verso. Spero di aver fatto bene. In ogni caso ho una nuova melodia rilassante dentro di me.

How It's Done In Italy è uscito l'8 Marzo 2010 su We Were Never Being Boring collective in CD ed LP (con magnifiche copertine fatte a mano!).
