December Songs (Album,2021)

by The Little Unsaid

supported by

Trish Fine World - “there’s no shelter quite like a free mind” that line just gets to me and the rhythm and pace get in my bounds. I can’t go to gigs right now so this album might be saving my life. Favorite track: Fine World (When You Can Look It In The Eye).

about

New master and full release for the first time on Compact Disc for the 2020 lockdown home recorded winter album by The Little Unsaid "December Songs".

The project started as a defiant way to make music in the face of lockdowns, studio sessions being cancelled, and the impending uncertainty of not seeing loved ones at Christmas time.

John borrowed an old guitar and mandolin from a neighbour, set up two microphones in the corner of his flat in South London, and recorded the basis of the album live in just a few days. Working mostly at night, the necessity of not waking the neighbours gave the album its hushed and intimate dynamic.

“I wanted to find simple songs that captured the melancholy of this time of year, but also the cosiness, the closeness, the joy of simple acoustic music in a dimly lit room, and the promise of a different kind of year ahead.”
