1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Teams podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:19,093
Speaker 1: from News Talks at Bcome.

00:00:17,573 --> 00:00:28,453
Speaker 2: Next, sade.

4
00:00:29,373 --> 00:00:34,733
Speaker 3: M good.

5
00:00:40,093 --> 00:00:40,413
Speaker 2: Good.

6
00:00:44,333 --> 00:00:49,773
Speaker 4: Oh that's harmony is a beautiful amy. That's f BT.

7
00:00:51,693 --> 00:00:54,453
Speaker 4: It stands for Folk Bitch Trio. That song is called

8
00:00:54,493 --> 00:00:57,413
Speaker 4: Hotel TV. They've got their brand new album out. It's

9
00:00:57,453 --> 00:01:00,493
Speaker 4: called Now Would Be a Good Time. It was recorded

10
00:01:00,573 --> 00:01:03,413
Speaker 4: in New Zealand. Now music viewer Style Clifford's been listening.

11
00:01:03,453 --> 00:01:07,773
Speaker 3: Hey, oh we're in a Hotel TV. Great song. At

12
00:01:07,773 --> 00:01:10,253
Speaker 3: the start, there's this real mood setter, if you know,

13
00:01:10,293 --> 00:01:11,733
Speaker 3: when you arrive at a hotel and it's a bit

14
00:01:11,773 --> 00:01:14,333
Speaker 3: gloomy outside and there's the rain. They've got that sort

15
00:01:14,373 --> 00:01:17,853
Speaker 3: of soundscape to open the song. And then what catches

16
00:01:17,893 --> 00:01:20,773
Speaker 3: you the entire way throughout this album is exactly what

17
00:01:20,813 --> 00:01:24,573
Speaker 3: you said about the harmonies. When those three voices come together.

18
00:01:25,453 --> 00:01:27,773
Speaker 3: I mean, it just screams to you that they are

19
00:01:27,813 --> 00:01:29,973
Speaker 3: really in sync with each other, because I don't reckon

20
00:01:29,973 --> 00:01:32,333
Speaker 3: you can hit those kind of harmonies and the strength

21
00:01:32,373 --> 00:01:34,813
Speaker 3: and power behind them if you're not really in tune

22
00:01:34,813 --> 00:01:35,333
Speaker 3: with each other.

23
00:01:35,533 --> 00:01:39,213
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, literally yeah yeah.

24
00:01:39,053 --> 00:01:42,573
Speaker 3: That's right, Like an emotional level, and then musically wise

25
00:01:42,733 --> 00:01:45,453
Speaker 3: to just be able to create them. And I've really

26
00:01:45,533 --> 00:01:48,653
Speaker 3: enjoyed this album for hearing so much more of that.

27
00:01:48,733 --> 00:01:52,013
Speaker 3: Like sometimes they're not the kind of the melody goes

28
00:01:52,053 --> 00:01:54,773
Speaker 3: off a little bit, which I think makes harmonies even trickier.

29
00:01:55,133 --> 00:01:57,213
Speaker 3: When you go off on this kind of maybe so

30
00:01:57,293 --> 00:01:59,093
Speaker 3: like minor key or something like that, and then you've

31
00:01:59,093 --> 00:02:03,453
Speaker 3: got these harmonies that follow along, It's yeah, it's pretty magical.

32
00:02:04,053 --> 00:02:05,493
Speaker 3: This is a kind of album for me where I

33
00:02:05,533 --> 00:02:08,933
Speaker 3: listen to it a couple of times just through a speaker,

34
00:02:08,933 --> 00:02:10,253
Speaker 3: but I think they actually had to sit with it

35
00:02:10,293 --> 00:02:11,973
Speaker 3: a bit closer. I had to put my headphones in

36
00:02:12,413 --> 00:02:15,533
Speaker 3: and really stay with it, because then that's when you

37
00:02:15,573 --> 00:02:17,973
Speaker 3: start getting through the harmonies and the melodies and you

38
00:02:18,013 --> 00:02:22,853
Speaker 3: actually start hearing some of the lyrics. They're very Kiwis

39
00:02:22,853 --> 00:02:24,973
Speaker 3: and Aussie's We're kind of cousins here where we had

40
00:02:25,013 --> 00:02:29,053
Speaker 3: that dark witch about us yea, and they very much

41
00:02:29,173 --> 00:02:32,613
Speaker 3: lyrically right into that and lean into that. Folk music

42
00:02:32,613 --> 00:02:36,853
Speaker 3: can often be a little bit self absorbed and sometimes

43
00:02:36,933 --> 00:02:39,893
Speaker 3: quite ah, I don say depressing, but it can be

44
00:02:39,933 --> 00:02:42,133
Speaker 3: a bit you know, like emotional like that, where I

45
00:02:42,173 --> 00:02:44,573
Speaker 3: think these girls manage to bring in quite a bit

46
00:02:44,613 --> 00:02:47,933
Speaker 3: of humor, even if it is a bit dark and undertoneish,

47
00:02:47,973 --> 00:02:50,173
Speaker 3: and you get that the more you actually hear the lyrics.

48
00:02:50,173 --> 00:02:52,373
Speaker 3: But I think it's an album you can listen to

49
00:02:52,453 --> 00:02:54,813
Speaker 3: and go, yeah, I really like the music, and then

50
00:02:54,813 --> 00:02:57,053
Speaker 3: you can take time again at some stage to kind

51
00:02:57,053 --> 00:02:58,893
Speaker 3: of sink into those lyrics a little bit more and

52
00:02:58,933 --> 00:03:01,813
Speaker 3: hear that storytelling folk focus in the fact that they're

53
00:03:01,853 --> 00:03:04,333
Speaker 3: really good at the storytelling, but I think a bit

54
00:03:04,333 --> 00:03:06,733
Speaker 3: more modern because they do sort of jump part of

55
00:03:06,733 --> 00:03:09,493
Speaker 3: that typical genre thing of being down buzz all the time,

56
00:03:10,813 --> 00:03:14,133
Speaker 3: which I really really like. Yeah, they've worked alongside producer

57
00:03:14,173 --> 00:03:18,293
Speaker 3: Tom Healley, So if you think Tiny Ruins, Lady Hawk,

58
00:03:18,373 --> 00:03:21,333
Speaker 3: Marlon Williams, he's done most or his latest album on

59
00:03:21,973 --> 00:03:25,253
Speaker 3: latest couple of albums. And I've got a little bit

60
00:03:25,253 --> 00:03:26,933
Speaker 3: confused here, Deck, and I think that I needed to

61
00:03:26,933 --> 00:03:28,493
Speaker 3: iron this out, and I haven't quite got the answer

62
00:03:28,573 --> 00:03:30,493
Speaker 3: for you, because I know they recorded the song You're

63
00:03:30,533 --> 00:03:34,413
Speaker 3: going to play soon, God's a Different Sword very fleetingly.

64
00:03:34,413 --> 00:03:36,533
Speaker 3: They had a visit here to open for Ben Howard

65
00:03:37,013 --> 00:03:39,893
Speaker 3: and during that time they quickly laid down that track.

66
00:03:40,853 --> 00:03:42,733
Speaker 3: So I don't know if they recorded the full album

67
00:03:42,813 --> 00:03:45,853
Speaker 3: or they did that. I think Tom Healley might have

68
00:03:45,933 --> 00:03:48,213
Speaker 3: then also still helped produce some of the other songs,

69
00:03:48,253 --> 00:03:50,533
Speaker 3: but that one in particular was the one they recorded

70
00:03:50,533 --> 00:03:53,933
Speaker 3: while they were here in his studios. But I'm pretty

71
00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:57,573
Speaker 3: sure he worked more across the album as well, But

72
00:03:57,693 --> 00:03:59,853
Speaker 3: I can't one hundred percent put my thumb on that

73
00:03:59,893 --> 00:04:01,773
Speaker 3: for you, but I know he's had a touch on it,

74
00:04:01,973 --> 00:04:03,453
Speaker 3: which I think is great because if you think of

75
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:07,093
Speaker 3: Marlon Williams, even though he's worked with Lady Hawk people

76
00:04:07,173 --> 00:04:10,173
Speaker 3: like that, you know, he really is quite good at

77
00:04:10,213 --> 00:04:12,173
Speaker 3: adding some of that little bit of magic that you

78
00:04:12,253 --> 00:04:16,173
Speaker 3: hear and the music, and he's really good at capturing

79
00:04:16,213 --> 00:04:19,453
Speaker 3: people's voices. I think, like the vocals are real forward,

80
00:04:20,053 --> 00:04:23,213
Speaker 3: and the microphone sometimes they've almost got that old school

81
00:04:23,453 --> 00:04:25,533
Speaker 3: like it will sound great on an actual record where

82
00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:29,133
Speaker 3: it's got that sort of crackly distorted mic sort of

83
00:04:29,173 --> 00:04:31,293
Speaker 3: sound almost to it with the lead singer and then

84
00:04:31,333 --> 00:04:36,413
Speaker 3: the harmonies coming and behind. Yeah, just really it's quite

85
00:04:36,493 --> 00:04:40,453
Speaker 3: dynamic constructures vocally, quite a lot of dynamic stuff going on.

86
00:04:40,493 --> 00:04:45,853
Speaker 3: There's got these really beautiful bright flourishes, confessional storytelling with

87
00:04:45,893 --> 00:04:49,373
Speaker 3: a bit of edge, which I really like that that edge,

88
00:04:49,373 --> 00:04:50,893
Speaker 3: that they bring to it, and I guess that, again

89
00:04:50,973 --> 00:04:53,773
Speaker 3: is the modern version of what that genre is, that

90
00:04:53,773 --> 00:04:56,573
Speaker 3: they're taking it as their own. Yeah, they've done that's

91
00:04:56,693 --> 00:04:58,613
Speaker 3: opening for other Yeah, lots of opening for other people,

92
00:04:58,733 --> 00:05:01,893
Speaker 3: even for our favorite can Gizar and the Lizard Wizard.

93
00:05:01,813 --> 00:05:02,853
Speaker 4: Ah of course.

94
00:05:03,493 --> 00:05:06,413
Speaker 3: But they're they're coming back in September and they're doing

95
00:05:06,493 --> 00:05:10,293
Speaker 3: their own shows. They're doing Turning Falk and Auckland, San

96
00:05:10,333 --> 00:05:14,333
Speaker 3: fran and Wellington and it's a place in Littleton and

97
00:05:14,333 --> 00:05:15,693
Speaker 3: I can't think what it's called at the moment. That's

98
00:05:15,693 --> 00:05:17,733
Speaker 3: the end of September, and I think that'll be quite

99
00:05:17,773 --> 00:05:19,013
Speaker 3: nice because you'll just be able to get a little

100
00:05:19,053 --> 00:05:20,693
Speaker 3: bit more of them when they've got a full album

101
00:05:20,733 --> 00:05:22,933
Speaker 3: as well. There's a whole body of work in the showcase.

102
00:05:24,693 --> 00:05:26,333
Speaker 4: Saw them open for Ben Howard the.

103
00:05:27,853 --> 00:05:30,693
Speaker 3: Amazingly so yeah, yeah, yeah, and they just didn't stick

104
00:05:30,693 --> 00:05:32,413
Speaker 3: around in long enough, I think. But now that there's

105
00:05:32,453 --> 00:05:35,653
Speaker 3: an album behind that more for people to get. Yeah,

106
00:05:35,733 --> 00:05:37,053
Speaker 3: And you kind of want that when you go and

107
00:05:37,093 --> 00:05:39,733
Speaker 3: see a band live too, And yeah, I think you'd

108
00:05:39,733 --> 00:05:43,253
Speaker 3: get more of the richness of what the stories and

109
00:05:43,333 --> 00:05:45,173
Speaker 3: the music is when you actually go to see them live.

110
00:05:45,173 --> 00:05:47,733
Speaker 3: If you get the chance to so. Yeah, but really

111
00:05:47,733 --> 00:05:48,613
Speaker 3: really enjoyable album.

112
00:05:48,653 --> 00:05:50,493
Speaker 4: I really liked it, fantastic. What'd you give it?

113
00:05:50,853 --> 00:05:52,093
Speaker 3: I'm going to give it a nine out of ten?

114
00:05:52,253 --> 00:05:53,333

Speaker 2: conversation that I started to ignore. He go, just if

124
00:06:39,693 --> 00:06:43,413
