Good evening. How are you? 

Good evening. I'm good. How are you? 

I'm very well. I enjoyed the way we missed that. Cut that, that, um, that opening clap, but that's fine.

That is, hello. It's good 

to see you. It's been a couple of weeks now. 

No, it has been a couple of weeks, but I have good offerings. 

Oh, oh my God. You do. It's, 

I agree. Should I start a timer? 

It's so much fun. Start a timer. 10 minutes and four seconds. Go. 

I mean, just 10 minutes now. It's 10 

minutes. 

Okay. Okay.

Right, right, right. Okay. I have been excited to share this album with you for a very long time. This is very special to me. This is Sarah Archer 

Live, 

and they have done this phenomenal live sessions recording. Only a hundred of these finals went out in the world, and I am very excited that I have 76 out of a hundred.

You own 76 of them? 

No, no. Just the 76 number. 

76, 

yeah. So these guys did a beautiful show in Sydney. Which obviously had a limited edition of people that could come, but they, uh, put cans on everybody and you know, did this amazing recording. There is, for those who didn't get one out of the hundred vinyls that went into the world, they actually have this beautiful YouTube link of the whole entire.

Show, um, which we will put in the show notes we will share because absolutely everyone needs to listen and watch it 'cause it's stunning. Mm-hmm. Um, but yeah, so this is my offering this week. 

It's fantastic. Fully live recorded album, live audience in studio, watching the whole process live mixed, the whole thing.

And it is gorgeous. I have had so much fun listening to that this week. Um. Oh, it's just, this is 

why, this is why we do this. 'cause we come across like this. It's just, it makes me so happy. Makes me so happy. 

This one made my music brain happy too, by the way. Ooh. 

Not just lyrically. 

No. Well, you know me if it's music brain, happy lyric brain takes a long time to keep up.

I love it. So additional to, um. The YouTube video. That is stunning. Uh, I also went down a little rabbit hole having a look on their socials. Mm-hmm. And was able to find, because you brought up to me about. Their album artwork. And for the life of me, I couldn't find anything. So I actually went to the source.

I went to one of their, uh, band members and was like, how did it come about? I can't see anything anywhere. What is it? And he pointed me to an actual Instagram reel that shows how they made what they did. Yeah. And I just shared that with you just before. 'cause you, it's really 

cute. You've gotta go check it out.

It's. The band. The band did the whole thing for their artwork. It's very, very cute. Each of the members had a contribution and Yeah, it's just, I think it looked like that they actually created it during the studio session. 

Yes. So each of them had a letter and each of them was given a piece of paper and I think they had crayons or pencils, and they each got to do it, and then digitally they put them all together.

So yeah. How. It's 

super cute and it's, it's effective too. What is so effective? What do they, they call themselves? I have to remember what they said. Um, I'm gonna come back to their website again because the way they describe themselves is so much fun. 

Oh, as in their actual synopsis of who they are as a band.

Is that what you Yeah, and we're probably still for time here 'cause I'm gonna find it. 

Oh no, I love it. But while you are looking for that, I just wanna share, there was a really lovely quote that I found that talks about the actual, you know, process of them doing this record. And they said it was a really, uh, a truly surreal experience that has taken three weeks to process as a band.

We are very grateful to have the support and team around us to make such a thing possible. I just thought that's 

beautiful. 

Yeah. 

Which is. It's old school recording. Yeah. You get, you go into the studio, you do it live. 

Yeah, exactly. 

You rehearse the hell out of it. You get it tight, you get it feeling great, and then you go in and you go, cool, let's go.

Well, the beautiful thing that we spoke about off Mark is that. These tracks, not all of them had actually been released. So yeah. When people actually either were at the gig or watched the YouTube video or had this final, some of these songs, maybe you've heard them live, that they've played them, but this is the first time that you've actually Yeah.

Heard a released version of them. Um, yeah, which is, and if 

you go check out the YouTube recording, there's even one track played in the studio that didn't make it onto the album. 

Ooh. Interesting. Which I'm 

not sure how, if you knew that already or not. 

No, I did not. Yeah, 

it's called wolves and it's beautiful.

Ah, interesting. 

Worth checking out. 

I always thought that wolves was on the Albert. It's not. 

It's not. 

Stop Secrets. Secrets. I love voice. So 

here he is. And now I'm reading credit goes to Triple J Unearthed. Here I am reading their. Description of the band. Okay, let's go. Let's go from this section here.

'cause I love it with the energy of an under 10 soccer team and a sound described as eighties am radio rock. This six piece group is a refreshing, yet familiar experience that reminds you of dad's CD collection 

five. And I was 

like, yeah, that's it. That's the stuff I listened to when I was. 11 listening to Dad C Collection.

Right. Well, this is this, this gonna feel this. I mean, this is what this pod, this podcast series is about. It's like, this is 

what I mean, we heard in the intro, this is why we're here. 

Exactly, exactly. That's very 

true. Right. 

Without further ado, 'cause we've actually, normally, we're already loaded into our top picks, but we haven't yet.

Oh, are we running outta time? 

No, no, like I'm just saying, we're like so excited about the whole entire album. But tell me, brother, what is your hot pick? 

Oh my God, this took so long to pick. 

It's so hard, right? 

It's so hard. He, the call, I said it, I said it, he the call. Um, um, just a really, really great example of.

A consistent build, pro tune, and really intelligent musical writing that compliments and contrasts a pretty simple melody that is sung powerhouse style. Um, the chorus starts and it's just synth base out of nowhere. And oh, it was very, very cool. Um, so. Really kind of heavyweight kind of feel to that chorus.

And yeah, like I said, musical brain went nuts. I didn't listen to the lyrics. I was just going, this band is wicked. 

Yay. I them as much as I 

do. Um, honorable mention to brother because I said that about the synth base and the drive and that, but you put some reggae groove into a record as well, 

and 

you're gonna make a lot of people happy.

Funnily enough that that's your runner up. 'cause that's my runner up too, brother. Just such a close second to me. 

Yeah. 

Musically, it just shines. Absolutely shines. 

Mm-hmm. Little unison hook in the guitar and bass that just kind of ties it all together. 

Yeah. 

Which is lovely. What's yours? 

It was so hard to choose.

I was like, almost wanted to be like, don't make me choose. You can't make me choose. These are all absolutely stunning. This 

was your idea in the first place. 

I know. Stitch myself up a hundred percent. Um, but if I had to pick one, it would have to be standing. 

Oh, the opening track. 

Opening track. 

Mm. 

The, I mean, I'm a sucker as, as much as I'm a sucker for lyrics, I'm a bloody sucker for vocal lines, harmony lines, harmonies, using vocals as another instrument and building like it was like the vocals come in and then it was like the tapestry of each instrumentation layering upon, layering upon layering.

And then suddenly you are like into this really robust sound, and then they just bring it back. And then they build it up again. Like I just, Ugh, those peaks and troughs, it just 

mm-hmm. 

Burns everything. I love it. I love it so much. Beautiful. 

You talk about harmonies, you've just got close voicings around a melody that says on the same note.

Exactly. Exactly. And what a great acapella 

finished to the track always. Ah, 

right. Mm-hmm. And I think setting what a beautiful setting of the scene for this album, like 

Yeah. Yeah. When you watch the video, you really get that feeling, and I. It's my, one of my favorite ways to end a tune is create an en, an ending that the audience has to wait to realize that it's finished.

The way this tune finishes, it has you hanging on just in case it might keep going and that that is 

keep going. 

Absolute genius going,

yeah. It's fantastic writing musical brand. Very happy. 

Yes, but we can't, we can't tell you to buy it unless you steal it off someone, which you definitely should. That is 

true. That is true. You never know. Maybe one day it'll, um, make its way online and it'll be like three times as much.

Who 

knows, but 

I hope that, so for these guys. But, uh, YouTube link 

to the studio video is in the show notes. Yes, it is available as a single recording on YouTube music as well, the video recording. Go check it out.
