DESCRIPTION |
Where Have You Been All My Life is a collection of songs that distils five years and three albums of Villagers’ songwriting into one flowing narrative. Recorded in one day the album is a reimagining of older material seamlessly woven with present glories from Villagers’ most recent studio album, Darling Arithmetic. For one day in July 2015, 18 songs were quickly captured and 12 songs chosen for the final album, making it Villagers’ most intense, but satisfying, session to date. These recordings are all first or second takes, and the immediacy of the occasion was part of the magic that day, live and unadorned by overdubs or studio trickery. The result is a lush, harmonyladen and vibrant document of a time and a place. |
