The new EP ‘Simple Songs for Complicated Times’ was a spontaneous project that started in a caravan in the forest (near Lagos) during the quarantine, due to COVID 19.
Initially, Time For T had thought to record a very simple EP with only voice and guitar but ended up asking other members of the band and some friends who were in quarantine (between Geneva, Lisbon, Madrid and Porto) to add their parts , because each one had the possibility to record at home.
This project, initially solitary, quickly became a collective work at a distance. With technology at their disposal, they managed to create this EP and learn a new way of making music.
“Funny how something that started in such a lonely and intimate way, became a collective work and now accessible to everyone. The EP features the participation of Club del Rio (voices in “Fire on the Mountain”), Juan Espiga and Cavalo 55 (choirs and banjo in “Manteiga”), Monday, Junno and Margarida Falcão (choirs in “Captivity”), Naima Lili and Mattia Corda (choirs and tune in “Best Behavior”) and finally Andrew Stuart-Buttle (violin and bass in “Anything”).
The mix was in charge of our collaborator and longtime friend, Hugo Valverde, always willing to come in and improve our musical adventures.
The EP Simple Songs for Complicated Times will be released on August 14, 2020 through Street Mission Records. A mix of songs in Portuguese, English and Spanish, recorded a little everywhere.
