The Obvious I

"Even as an instrumental album The Obvious I would sound unutterably pretty. But once you factor in a voice whose plangent purity has elicited comparisons to Robert Wyatt and Mark Hollis, the effect is something akin to hearing a ghost transmitting from a machine of its own making." Pete Paphides

The second new master release from Needle Mythology

’The Breakdown’ is the first offering to be lifted from the forthcoming collaborative album by Catherine Anne Davies (aka The Anchoress) and Bernard Butler. ‘In Memory Of My Feelings’ will be released via Needle Mythology on 18th September, 2020 and is notable as the first new master recording for Pete Paphides’ label.

The Breakdown explores the personal price to the pursuit of economic wealth and the failures of free market capitalism, framed through the story of one investment banker’s catastrophic breakdown. Butler adds “Musically the song is deliberately dysfunctional with an unorthodox slowed up 10/8 meter. The piano arpeggio is played forwards then backwards to symbolise the dysfunctional dreamlike beauty of the breakdown”

Written by Catherine Anne Davies & Bernard Butler | Produced & mixed by Bernard Butler at Studio 355, London | Published by Warner Chappell / Copyright Control
