BUSTY AND THE BASS SHARE LIVE OF THE FLOOR VERSIONS OF TRACKS FROM FOREVER NEVER CARES, FILMED AND RECORDED AT BREAKGLASS STUDIOS
Montreal indie collective Busty and the Bass are sharing “Smoke and the Pine (The Breakglass Version)”, the second piece from the collective’s new live-off-the-floor video series. The soulful, 70s singer-songwriter-inspired track, exploring nostalgia and longing, now features lush horn arrangements and rich vocal harmonies, further enhancing the idea of moments once cherished: ‘I come back to feel you / The lost and lonely ride through the smoke and the pine’.
Directed by Guillaume Landry, the video is live off the floor and filmed in one shot. The recording, therefore, is slightly altered from the original album version and is catered to fit this live, one-shot dynamic. It features a lush horn arrangement (which includes Chris Edmondson on alto saxophone) and stacked background vocal harmonies from Jordan Brown and Mel Pacifico.
“The song is an ode to where I’m from in the Pacific Northwest,” says Alistair Blu. “It’s about all of the sensations and nostalgia I feel from my upbringing on Vancouver Island and the mixed emotions of leaving them all behind. It’s about being there with someone you love in the presence of feeling at home.”
