Last night, The Smoke guitarist and She Said co-writer, Luke ‘The Freshman’ Cartwright, returned from Sydney to his former residency and natural recording habitat to collaborate on the aforementioned song.After plugging his Gibson ES-137 into Leigh’s fully customized ‘wax-finish’ Fender amplification system, the Freshman proceeded to effortlessly lay down just under a dozen parts for the song whilst Dane and Daniel watched on.
She Said, written and demoed in early 2010 by The Smoke (but never released) received a warm reception when debuted live by Black Fox at the Espy over the weekend.‘We started recording She Said as a potential follow-up to Cut Like A Crystal, but it didn’t get finished in time. Parts from that session may still find their way onto the Line Of Sight version, though.’ Leigh will contribute acoustic guitar tonight from his ‘el retreato suburbano’, so stay tuned for further updates.
We celebrated the occasion with a round of Nestle ‘Club’ Chocolate Dairy Desserts. Unfortunately due to stock shortages at the local Coles, Daniel got stuck with an Aero Chocolate Mousse – it’s so aerated that it’s total weight is less than half that of a Nestle Club. It’s no way to live.
