Ben Hillier

I recorded an exclusive live version of Kitchen Sink for the @BBC6Breakfast @bbc6music with prepared piano and second line drums. The full session was aired yesterday (2Jul - about 2hr13 in) Many thanks to… instagram.com/p/CCLQsj2nSmY/…

@nadineshah @EDouglasWW Mainly synths with @pete_wareham playing the counter melody on baritone sax 🤓

@EDouglasWW Nope!! Ask @benhillier !!

@CrookSoundTech That’s a perfect description!

@EDouglasWW @Tim_Burgess @nadineshah @CrookSoundTech Thanks all, it goes by fast! Cheers Tim

@Tim_Burgess @nadineshah @CrookSoundTech @benhillier Thanks all!

Huge thanks to @nadineshah @CrookSoundTech & @benhillier 🙏🙏🙏 Such a fantastic album #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@EDouglasWW @CrookSoundTech It’s the only time the farmer has ever complained about the noise

@CrookSoundTech @benhillier You two are madmen!! Madmen, I say!!! :)

@CrookSoundTech There they are!

Prayer Mat ...drums recorded in a shipping container, just the loudest thing. @CrookSoundTech has some god photos of that I think #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Walk ...I wanted this to sound like the Southern Marching Band, the New Orleans football marching band, the brightest, loudest thing ever #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@CrookSoundTech Sounds about right. Where IS that hat #TimsTwitterListeningParty #iwantmyhatback

Ukrainian Wine ...can’t wait to play this one live. It’s going to be huge! #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Kite ...nadine’s demo for this was beautiful and really sparse. I sat with it for a whole day trying to think of how to do it justice, almost gave up on it then played that one not guitar thing and recorded the whole backing tracks on about an hour #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Second favourite bit was doubling it on the organ at the end

Kitchen Sink ...I think playing the guitar solo on this was my favourite part of making this album! #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Trad ...the big chorus riff was played on my very ill CS30. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@CrookSoundTech I’d forgotten about that! 🤣 I still can’t floss

Dillydally ...yes that is a Swanee whistle, recorder and flute combo courtesy of @bennicholls10 and @pete_wareham #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@Official_SWBCC @Tim_Burgess @CrookSoundTech @nadineshah Cheers!

#TimsTwitterListeningParty @benhillier and @CrookSoundTech will be joining @nadineshah in around 5 minutes

Buckfast ...the cheeky piano counter melody in chorus comes from our secret weapon @bennicholls10 #TimsTwitterListeningParty

#ladiesforbabies working title Brooobeck, the sample at the start of this comes from my kids CD skipping (probably had jam or snot on it) and playing that great rhythm. Quick! Record it on your phone!! #TimsTwitterListeningParty
