Wouldn’t you know it:
Amber Arcades and Bill Ryder-Jones team up on ‘Wouldn’t Even Know’
It’s the latest track to be taken from Annelotte de Graaf’s upcoming ‘Cannonball’ EP.
Annelotte de Graaf, better known as Amber Arcades, is set to
release her brand new EP ‘Cannonball’ on 2nd June via Heavenly Recordings, already
sharing ‘Can’t Say That We Tried’ (and a very fishy video to boot).
With a short string of dates in the Netherlands about to
kick off though, she’s treated us to another doozy from the collection and this
time, she’s brought along a special guest. For ‘Wouldn’t Even Know’, she’s
enlisted the help of Bill Ryder-Jones, who provides additional vocals on the
new track.
Annelotte said of the track in a statement: “This may be the
song I’m most proud of so far… It’s been a long time in the making, starting
out with the chorus which I initially thought was gonna be for a funky kind of
jam. Then after a long time fermenting in my brain I pieced it together with
this slow Yo La Tengo kinda verse that’d been popping up in my thoughts”.
She continued: “The result is this tune which makes me feel
melancholic but uplifted at the same time. Also super into Bill’s vocals on it.
His dark broody voice really ties it all together”.
Bill added the following: “I was already a fan of Amber
Arcades when I was asked to put a vocal on this. I’m quite jealous of Annelotte’s
ability to find the right words to fit her melodies, it’s a rare thing these
days. The song is beautiful”.
