Avrocar hail from the city of Birmingham, UK. They have received airplay and recorded a session for the late John Peel and have also been featured by Mary-Anne Hobbes and Rob Da Bank of BBC Radio 1. Avrocar have released records since the mid 1990’s and are part of the truly independent UK label collective Make Mine Music, who are heading towards their 50th release in autumn 2008. What follows is an account of the recording of the new album by mentor and long-time confidant Lew Monick - “I suppose at the end of recording the concept had become clear…even though it wasn’t something the band had thought about consciously at the time. There was a realization that they had unwittingly evoked the constant passing of day into night and night into day. No surprise when considering that the recording took place in a small loft in near darkness and very often on into the early hours of morning. In making this album, Avrocar had willfully removed themselves from the usual machinations of recording, isolating themselves, so to speak, from people and places they would normally encounter. It was like being a part of something and yet being apart from the very same thing. The resulting sounds were softer somehow and the way the band had worked, less regimented than before, whether by luck or by design, the process and the music felt more organic. All the samples heard are taken directly from radio, many fortunately working with almost finished pieces that just needed that extra something.
