After frontman Isaac Wood left the up-and-coming Black Country, New Road the week they launched their sophomore album Ants From Up There, the remaining members of the band made the unconventional choice to proceed touring with out him, and commenced to play a whole set of recent materials as a substitute of something that BC,NR had put out beforehand. Today, that contemporary materials has been immortalized in a brand new efficiency movie known as Live At Bush Hall, shot throughout their run of three exhibits on the London venue in December.
“We didn’t want to do a studio album,” pianist May Kershaw stated in a press launch. “We wrote the new tracks specifically to perform live, so we thought it might be a nice idea to put out a performance.”
Live At Bush Hall was directed by Greg Barnes and combined by John Parish. “We had concerns from live sessions we’ve seen or done in the past,” guitarist Luke Mark stated. “They are very obviously clumped together visually from multiple performances. That can take you out of the performance and make it seem artificial and like it’s not actually live. So we came up with the idea to make the three nights look visually distinct from one another. To scratch the idea of trying to disguise anything. We wanted it to be very honest and let people know that we had three goes at it. This isn’t just us playing the whole thing non-stop.”
