SOUNDCLOUD: MARCUS FOSTER – BROKEN
‘Nameless Path’ was recorded at the beginning of 2011 at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth under the expert supervision of Communion’s Ian Grimble in the producer’s chair.
Communion head honcho and Mumford & Sons’ Ben Lovett recalls the sessions, ‘Marcus cannot work to a click-track. He doesn’t understand it, so everything has to be recorded live and rely on the vibe alone. We’d find him at 3am locked in a makeshift chamber-room nailing his guitar solo for the next day’s recordings. You can definitely hear that in the energy of the record.”
The full album press release for ‘Nameless Path’ is below. Physical promos are available now and private digital links are available on request.
