Watch Bahamas’ Studio “Witchcraft”
As oft-mentioned on these pages, we love everything about Canadian “band” Bahamas. They consistently evince great songwriting, vocals and guitar-playing. And now we can add humor to that arsenal of accolades. Check out the marvelous Stax-with-crunch sounds in the video below for their iTunes Session song Please Forgive My Heart. According to the band (or their publicist), the analog recording process “incorporates everything from Motown style 8-track tape recording process to the use of an incredibly rare 1967 Germanium Neve recording console.” The captions provide the hilarity, which takes nothing away from the perfectly rendered song (and especially the marvelette vocals by Felicity Williams and Carleigh Aikins). If you can find any song more captivating than Please Forgive My Heart, please let us know. Long live Bahamas!
