As a 7 year old Seven Weapons would sit atop a tall ladder overlooking the roof top of her family home and a sweeping view of the Darling Ranges. She liked to sing to the wind and the sky and watch them carry the sound away. Later that year she would discover the piano and soothe herself with the constant rhythm of sonata form. The piano would become a treasured best friend and they would have many long conversations together especially when no-one else was home. Seven Weapons grew and grew and grew up, up, up. She tried many things and went many places but she never forgot the song upon the wind or her dear piano friend and every now and then when she really listened hard she would hear a little voice inside whisper 'I want to sing and play guitar'.
...we went from Djerba (Tunis) to the snowy mountains of north-eastern Italy. We travelled from the desert to the deep freeze of the north during the last days of 2008, listening to music and collecting a huge amount of images. Here you are the final cut.
Just a heads up to say that Hidden Shoal Recordings have just released volume 4 in their free label sampler album series, East-West Section. The album features the Fall Electric track 'Sir sun shines strong'.
