Unreleased Underside Outtake #1

subscriber exclusive

about

During The Underside of Power sessions in the summer of 2016 with Adrian Utley and Ali Chant in tow, we spent several weeks laying down the basic tracking at Real World Studios in Bath, England. While daytimes were spent trying to get various band members to focus on finishing writing parts for the new material, the evenings were more relaxed and reserved for experimenting and jamming in the studio space after the engineers had gone home.

One particular evening Franklin had a circular piano part in his head with some simple vocals and quickly committed them to tape. Some of these quick sketches and passing ideas turned into final songs that make up the record, like "Hymn For An Average Man". Others, lay dormant on the master hard disk that we have in our archives of the sessions. This particular piece never had a name and was never revisited after this week, but its haunting and beautiful nonetheless. Enjoy.
