about

Recorded mostly live at Belmar studio, the tracks have that warm organic sound enthusiasts would know from the classic period of the 40’s and 50’s. Just to make sure, they ran everything through an old Kriesler valve radio gram when it was finished.
“Its on CD, but we wanted to make it sound like you’re listening to vinyl”
Guests include Julie O’Hara , Kerri Simpson and Emma Franz.

“The Pearly Shells trade in a currency of exciting aural grooves”
