The Countryside is effectively the work of Graeme Slattery. Now and again friends drop by and lend their talents, but more often than not, he's slaving away on his own -- plucking a string here, pressing a button there...
The Countryside is currently based in Dublin, Ireland. Graeme previously played guitar with The Devlins, and after that moved to San Francisco and formed the pop band Trousers. After Trousers split (pun intended) he moved to New York and spent two years writing and recording.
wonderful songwriting!!
thanks for the add, my friend, and thanks for having so many great friends (david sylvian, aztec camera, and so on...). i can feel a bit less lonely...
You fucking tart; it's about time you climbed in the pool. The recordings are excellent sounding, but when your ready to take it to the next level - with some shite drumming- you just say the word.
