LAURA GROVES – YES

Description

Following a thread from A Private Road, the YES EP is a filmic journey into, through and out of a period of lockdown, unearthing previously buried fragments and flashes of memory, set against a backdrop of night-time London streets, radio towers, northern inner-city streets, TV screen static, basement dance floors and moorland roads. Self-produced, written and recorded in London, with the addition of bassist Ben Reed, mixer TJ Allen and artists Joviale and Fabiana Palladino and mastering engineer Noel Summerville, the EP draws on jewelled 80s pop songwriting, R&B, sampling, dance, electronic music, composition for radio and TV and soul music as memory fragments, pieced together through a characteristic use of soft and hazy modulation, reverbs, delays and EQ to create a whole picture. Yes is a de-constructed and re-constructed pop record as a form of remembering and recording a thread of ever-present love.
