Rural France

My latest band. Named after my fretboard handle...

Me and my mate wrote and recorded this over a couple of years as an occaisional escape from the intensity of raising our young families (who we included on the album cover).

Lyrically it’s a bit of a mid life crisis. Guitars were an ES330 into a Lazy J20, Tele into a Carr Skylark with an occasional KOT, and an EC Vibro Champ for the trem sections and ratty drive.

We recorded it at a cool little studio called Spacewolf in Wells and its been released by one of our favourite labels.

Really pleased with how it turned out!

Thanks for the kind words guys! We’ve not really had any feedback from anyone so appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.

It’s also up on Spotify and Apple Music if anyone uses those.

Here’s the latest album from Rural France. Bit of a switch up on the recording front as our usual studio was closed during Covid. Instead we recorded in my garage on a laptop and embraced a more lofi sound.

All the guitars (and bass) were recorded through a 5F1 Champ with a 12” speaker and I used my strat on pretty much everything.

It was released at the end of last year by a spanish label called Meritorio who did a great job and put it out on bright yellow vinyl.

Shared on my Reddit channel for you ;-)..my only critique would be the video intro...honestly after a few seconds I wanted to get to the song so I skipped...some would just skip to another song....just my opinion...

I don't often pop in to this section, but I'm glad I did. I'll most likely listen to all of the stuff before bed.

Right up my street, made me feel a little younger for a while.
