Backyard Rhythm OrchestraMy Agricultural Laundrette
The Backyard Rhythm Orchestra are A high energy party band from Geordie land who take influences from an eclectic mix of world music traditions. They blessed Blueleaf Studio with their vast array of instrumentation and witticisms to record their single “My Agricultural Laundrette” and it’s accompanying b-side “Soul Stones”
This is not a song about farming or laundry. This is a song about corporate welfare. This is a song about money being siphoned from the pockets of the taxpayer into the wallets of the super rich.
This project involved setting up multiple ensemble recordings and solo sessions of this impressive 11-piece band. Beginning with the rhythm section – guitar, bass and drums – then layering the horn section as a whole as well as solo performances – followed by ensemble and solo vocal and percussion performances to add the details.
