During the long cold summer of 07, Bobby had been listening a lot to some of the big productions of the mid 60’s. Phil Spector, Kurt Boettcher and there’s no denying he’d had an unhealthy interest in the music of the Beach Boys for some years.
He’d acquired a CD of Brian Wilson sat inside a piano banging away at the strings with a hammer, whilst someone tried to hit the right notes on the keys to find just that right tone. ‘There’s a perverse satisfaction to know that somewhere in the mix, this is happening. I’m a nerd.’ said Bobby
The experiments ended with the recording of an EP named “Valerie”. The title song inspired by a robot woman you can still buy on the internet a leg or arm at a time, assuming you’re a crazy millionaire. The manufacturer is keen to point out that Valerie is not able to perform the roles of a real life wife or girlfriend and rightly so.
‘Encouraged by the reaction to the EP,’ said Bobby ‘I decided to finish the project, lured by the prospect of releasing a real album on a label I had been following since it launched and so shut myself away in the spare room for seven days without food or sleep, listening over and over to those sessions of Mr Wilson sat inside his piano making sounds no one would ever notice and emerged bearded and smelly, clutching what is now bobbys beard.’
