Partybaby announce new EP, ‘Versions’

Partybaby have announced details of a new EP, ‘Versions’, due out on 9th December.

"When we were initially asked to make an “acoustic” record we really didn’t want to,” the band explain. “We’d been asked to do it five or six times, always shrugging it off like petulant children who don’t want to do what they’re told.

“We went into the studio and after a couple hours of dragging our feet around, we started on the new version of ‘Everything’s All Right’. I’ll never forget the moment I started playing that five note repeating melody on the Wurlitzer.

“We each had that look in our eyes, not dissimilar to when we were making its original version, like it was the craziest thing we’d ever done. We dove in, coming out of our trance every couple hours to ask each other, “Are we really doing this?”, only to have a laugh and then get back into it.

“It certainly wasn’t acoustic, and it definitely wasn’t what we were being asked to do, but what started as a stylistic protest led to a feeling we knew very well and hadn’t felt in a long time. We were truly happy.”

The band are currently on the road with VANT, playing King Tut’s in Glasgow tonight (24th November). Remaining dates also include a stop at London’s Scala on 29th.
