Lahayna: Behind the Songs

The Lahayna song writing process was often an emotive affair, but we thrived on collaboration with each other.  Ideas were brought to a rehearsal room or studio in varying degrees of readiness and each band member would then work on creating the perfect part to fit in with the whole arrangement. We sought each other’s opinions and listened to our Producer, Luke Buttery. The process brought the best out of each of us as musicians and writers.  In the early days songs were sometimes road tested at a gig the same day they were written!  

Here Matt and Chris share some of the stories and production ideas behind the songs on Lahayna’s debut album ‘Lahayna’.

‘Save My Soul’: This was an idea that started when I was messing around at home with playing slide on open D tuning. I had been listening to a load of delta blues records so there was a nod  to the “girl gone done me wrong” in the lyrics but I wanted the music to have a more modern feel percussion wise, so we experimented with lots of layering of percussion in the studio and then added a synth in too. I love the backing vocals that Nikki adds on these. [Matt]

I really love Rory’s drum part on this one - he was always messing around with tribal style rhythms in rehearsals and those ideas found the perfect home on this track. [Chris] ‘Losing Battle’: This song had been around for a while and the lyrics were about that typical relationship we find ourselves in at times where we feel stuck in a loop repeating arguments and the point where you just want out. Musically, the idea was to counter this with a summery 70s funk pop vibe, nodding  to the Isley Brothers and the Jackson 5, really layering things up. I think J’s voice is great on this and for me the stand out is the cool outro solo on the Rhodes which our producer Luke Buttery added. [Matt] ‘Butterfly Bomb’: This track started out as a title, which had stayed with me from the stories my grandparents told me about growing up in London during the Blitz. Butterfly bombs were designed to attract people to pick them up and then explode.  Matt and I worked on the lyrics as a fictional story and sent them back and forth for each of us to add more lines. This was a process that really worked for us.  Once we had the lyrics, Matt then worked on the chord structure and I added the bass line before we took it to the other guys to add their parts.  Our inspiration for the production was the energy and sound of Rolling Stones tracks such as ‘Brown Sugar’ and Jumping Jack Flash’. It was great fun to play. [Chris]

‘Made Out Of Stone’: The idea for lyrics for this was kind of a “split personality conversation” and the philosophical questions I often found myself battling with whilst living in London: the part of me that felt compelled by my environment to live fast and pursue a certain level of financial recognition as a musician. And then what I call my true nature, which valued none of those things and really thought the true value in life came from the nourishment of the soul, striving to create what was real and pursuing the good. From a music perspective, I like the cool Motown style production this has going on and the tremelo. [Matt] ‘House of Cards’: There have been 3 events which I look at as “before and after” moments in my life: when I emmigrated to Spain at the age of 30, the birth of my daughter at 22 years old and, the first was my first real experience of death, when a close friend committed suicide. He had just turned 18 and over the year leading up to this, was trying to come to terms with the death of his mother (who had also committed suicide). Shortly after, his sister was to take her own life.  I personally spent many years trying not only to come to terms with the death of a close friend, but understand what had happened and how any one of us can get into the situation where this seems like the only option. I spent a lot of time with his father after, seeing a broken man who had lost his whole family: and I spent many years questioning the meaning of life through this context. [Matt] ‘When the Lights Are Low’: Another song that had been in vaults for a while and went through many incarnations…I think I wrote this when I was 18 or 19. Musically it was another one which leant heavily on us listening to Curtis Mayfield and the like at the time and we wanted the big production, the heavy reverb, the dramatic strings, brass the whole works. And I really love Churchy’s baseline, groovy and melodic. [Matt]

‘Set It Off’: I remember secretly using the studio where I was working as dubbing mixer to record this years back. I wanted the slow burning intro with the acoustic guitars and then the big kick in. Again, it was another split personality conversation, when you’ve been wronged in a relationship and are trying to make up your mind whether to stay or go. It was a lot of fun to record this one and get the Les Paul out for the solo. [Matt]

‘Passenger’: To give you an idea, this track was once introduced at a gig by Mems as a cry “for the revolution”…Similar to Made out of stone, the lyrics were dealing with my frustrations with living in London and, in general, trying to make sense of the inequality in the world whilst recognising my hypocrisy at times and attempting to understanding the part that I played and how things could change etc. From a music point of view, we left the extended outro for the album and I really love the anthemic quality of this one: along with House of Cards it’s probably my favourite track on the album. [Matt] ‘Love Is Dead’: I’d been listening to a load of rockabilly at the time and this was one of the tracks that I wrote after we had already entered the studio. This song was the start really of the writing for the band that would go on to be Burning Condors. The idea was to have a fun throwaway party song, with the lyrics about how we can sometimes throw ourselves into frivolity and indulgence in an attempt to get over the end of an important relationship. [Matt]

‘In the City’: The inspiration for this song came to me whilst I was driving to our old rehearsal studio, Pulse, in Walthamstow. It was a mid-summer evening and as I drove over the crest of a hill near home on my usual route, I was dazzled by the sun setting in perfect rays over that part of East London.  It was a beautiful sight, albeit probably not great driving conditions! By the time I reached Pulse I had the chorus and a verse.  J then wrote the other verses in a Cafe in Blackhorse Road; adding his own thoughts on living in London at the time, and the situation and surroundings he was in.   

Matt wrote the main melody on guitar and we worked on the song’s structure in the rehearsal room together.  The melody came one day at our manager Paul’s house.  Matt played the riff to J and it just popped into his head. To start with he sang some made up nonsense like “she came out of the window.  I didn’t even know her name”!  It was a relatively quick process and it produced an obvious first single for us.  

We wanted the production to be big and punchy whilst retaining the sound of the individual elements – vocals, guitar, bass and drums.  There are very few embellishments on the final recording, other than some timpani to accent the drums on the breakdown, which sounds massive! [Chris]

The album ‘Lahayna’ is released via Snakehand Records on all major digital formats 20/11/2017.

O MIS inicia uma nova programação dentro do campo da fotografia, uma das maiores frentes do Museu: Lendo imagens. Quinzenalmente, o projeto apresenta um diálogo direto entre artistas e público, partindo das fotos de Acervo MIS.

No novo projeto, que tem como objetivo divulgar as obras e também valorizar os artistas contemporâneos, o MIS convida artistas a escolherem uma imagem do Acervo, para compartilhar uma leitura com o público.

O projeto Lendo Imagens, que traz, em seus primeiros episódios, um artista que já participou do Nova Fotografia analisando visualmente uma fotografia de outro artista, em vídeos dinâmicos que apontam para um vocabulário que nos permite expandir nossa leitura das centenas de imagens que passam todos os dias diante de nossos olhos.

Neste vídeo, Jorge Sato destrincha as várias camadas de leitura de uma fotografia díptico de Lorenzo Scavone.

Sono tra i finalisti nella sezione “arte emergente” della sesta edizione del premio Francesco Fabbri per le arti contemporanee a cura di Carlo Sala.

La mia opera sarà esposta a Villa Brandolini, Solighetto di Pieve di Soligo (Treviso), dal 26 novembre – 17 dicembre 2017.

Inaugurazione e premiazione: sabato 25 novembre, ore 17.30.

Orari di apertura: venerdì e sabato 16.00-19.00; domenica 10.00-12.30 e 16.00-19.00.

L’opera selezionata si intitola “Me, before I was born. Aug 1969” è costituita da un album fotografico su cui ho applicato una foto di mia madre da giovane seduta accanto ad una pianta, ha una maglietta rossa e guarda dritto in macchina. Quando l’ho vista mi è sembrato di guardare in uno specchio, di vedermi in un istante che non ho vissuto. Ho deciso per questo di cercare altre fotografie della mia famiglia in cui ritrovarmi. Il risultato è “The things I know by heart” una raccolta di album di ricordi vissuti da altre persone prima che io nascessi, che sono diventati miei ricordi nel momento in cui mi ci sono riconosciuta. Il verbo ricordare viene dal latino re-cordis: richiamare al cuore, perchè anticamente si pensava che il cuore fosse il centro della memoria. Tuttora in alcune lingue come il francese e l’inglese “imparare a memoria” si dice “apprendre par coeur” o “to know by heart”. Ecco dunque che le immagini contenute in questo lavoro sono le cose che so attraverso il cuore. L’intero corpus della ricerca consiste in una serie di album, ognuno aperto su una pagina che riporta una sola fotografia vintage scattata e stampata prima che io nascessi. Sotto ogni fotografia scrivo a penna il ricordo al quale essa corrisponde, così come si faceva un tempo nei vecchi album fotografici. Le immagini diventano così il mezzo per la costruzione della mia identità in un tempo ciclico, non lineare, in cui passato presente e futuro esistono contemporaneamente. Come in una rêverie, condizione in cui la concezione del tempo si smaterializza nella fusione tra realtà e sogno, cerco di ritrovare la mia vita nel tempo precedente alla mia esistenza.

Le giurie hanno decretato i finalisti della sesta edizione del Premio Francesco Fabbri per le Arti Contemporanee che esporranno nella mostra collettiva a cura di Carlo Sala nella suggestiva cornice di Villa Brandolini a Pieve di Soligo, in provincia di Treviso.

An Interview with Lorenzo Scavone: Photographer Responsible for the ‘House of Cards’ Cover Art

An interview with Brazilian photographer Lorenzo Scavone, the photographer behind the darkly atmospheric cover photo for our ‘House of Cards’ / ‘Sign of the Times’ single.  (Instagram: @lorenzoscavone_visual)

[Q.] How did your involvement with Lahayna come about?

[A.] It’s a nice story: I met Lahayna by Matthew, who was selling his Fender Stratocaster at the time. After exchanging some emails regarding the guitar (which I actually bought) we started talking about music, bands, etc. 

We became sort of pen pals, until we met in person here in São Paulo, Brazil! 

[Q.] Which is your favourite track on the album?

[A.] ‘In the City’ was the first song I heard, and Matt told me the whole story of it, which is amazing! 

Having an unsigned band reach the no. 33 UK Top Charts and make so much success is a fantastic and one of a kind achievement, especially nowadays when you are competing with so many big names of the music industry.

And despite its great story, I really like the song, it has a great vibe! 

[Q.] What inspires you as an artist?

[A.] For me, being an artist is like state of mind.

A very personal way to feel and connect to the world and its surroundings. It’s like exploring a distant country you never been before and travelling on your own street with new eyes. 

I also think that this is a way to be more mindful and connected with things that matter for ourselves, in an era in which we can get distracted all the time. 

Everyone has stories to tell and to actually think that we can be inspired and learn by them and also inspire or pass something on it’s truly something, isn’t it? 

[Q.] Are you working on any projects?

[A.] I am currently working on some personal projects in photography, cinema and as well music.

Recently, I have been exploring ambient music with the guitar to complement some images. The approach is very visual because these soundscapes aren’t a necessarily a soundtrack (In which music most of the cases, is an extra narrative tool) for the photo or frame in question, because they are a translation of the picture itself into music, in a way.

Of course it sounds very abstract and it is manly subjective, but it’s being an interesting process 

[Q.] Which Brazilian bands should our fans back in the UK check out?

[A.] That’s a hard question; music in Brazil is so diverse! But thinking in the fans, I have two recommendations: One of them it’s a psychedelic rock band from Goiás called Boogarins and the other one is a rock trio from my city (São Paulo) called O Terno. Both are very different from one another but really good and original, it’s definitely worth to take a listen!
