Not content with gigging together in Galway, Cork and Dublin over the next couple of weeks, Jape and Villagers have gone and recorded a tune together.
“The original plan was for me and Conor to take a song of each of ours and let the other one embellish it,” Richie Egan explains. “‘Ribbon Ribbon Ribbon' was a track I’d written a while back on acoustic guitar; one night Conor came to my house and we stayed up all night recording, turning it into a different beast. It was a really magical night, constantly working until morning and then we had the basic bones of the track. I kind of let it sit on my hard drive for a good long time but then when these gigs came along Glenn (Keating) and me took the track into his studio and recorded some extra drums and synths.
“Then I took it home to Malmo and mixed it myself in my little studio there. I'm classing this as a home mix. I'm not sure if it will end up any place else or even it might get remixed some place else, but either way I hope you enjoy it, and thanks a lot to Conor and Glenn for being such musical inspirations to me.”
