The upcoming EP, Side by Side, was recored at Spacebomb through a series of live sessions. Tracks include covers of Anita Baker and Grimes tracks, but a version of “Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel is what we got our first taste of. Check it out below:
“I dig the S & G… not like most people do,” Prass told the 405. “I can put it on for like a few songs because the lyrics and soft singing are very soothing, but then I’ll have to put on James Brown Live at the Apollo just to balance it out. Carmen McRae’s psychedelic version of this song is brilliant. We did it her way. It’s got that balance. This kind of style of music comes very naturally to us Richmond music folk. This was a one take Jake.”
Keep an eye out for Side by Side when it drops 11/20.
