The Crookes’ infectious single ‘Bloodshot Days’ had been buzzing round our heads in the days leading up to this session, so we were pretty revved up for this acoustic version! We watched there sound check at the fantastic Sound Control venue, then filmed them in the dressing room, against the perfect backdrop of the Palace Hotel.
“They are kings of romance (an important part of the New Pop brewing around the UK)… There is something almost subversive about their odd mix of influences (The Smiths/’60s girl groups/’50s rock and roll)… It’s the romance of the Seine, of walking in the Peaks; or lying on your back reading and daydreaming.”
