about

This album points the spotlight squarely at my bass playing, which is not something I've ever done before. Although I've been playing bass since the 80s, I've only had the instrument featured on the cover (a 2023 Geddy Lee signature model Fender Jazz Bass) since my birthday last year. There's nothing like getting your hands on a new instrument to get you inspired, and snce I got it, I've been playing it a lot.

Weirdly, I'd recorded the album's title track weeks before I realised that its name could be taken as a veiled reference to playing walking bass lines on a J-Bass (which was what I was doing) but once I realised what my subconscious was driving at, the rest of the album came together nicely.

There's plenty of guitar and keyboard work from me on this album too, of course. And you'll find some unusual time signatures as well. Internet memes be damned; if I think I can groove in 13/8, I'm going to go for it...

about

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
