Tape Recorder due 23rd February on Bayonet Records
Lionlimb have unveiled the new video for the second single, “Clover,” off their upcoming album, Tape Recorder, coming out February 23rd on Bayonet. On “Clover,” Lionlimb’s Stewart Bronaugh remarks, “The song is sort of about things having two sides. When something can bring you so much joy one minute and chaos the next.” He continues, “This video started to make sense of itself as we were shooting. I had just bought a 16mm camera and Joey [Bell] and I were playing around with it. Learning how to work it and coming up with ideas at the same time.”
After recording the entire album live, the resulting six tracks on Tape Recorder are reflective, soulful, and based around loose themes of family and memory. Bronaugh recalls an incident that inspired the album’s title track, “Tape Recorder,” from his youth when a friend of his collapsed during gym class and went into a two-week-long coma due to a heart condition. He and his classmates were encouraged to record cassette tapes of themselves singing songs to be played at his bedside. This ended up being one of the experiences that inspired Bronaugh to continue recording music as a means of connecting, healing, and having hope.
On the flip side, songs like “Clover” on the album deal with the more frenzied aspects of recording such as self-doubt and isolation. The minimal, bare-bones live recording of the album and collaborative orchestration of the music give Tape Recorder a deeply human and tangible beauty.
