"Squid record brand new Record Store Day release live fromMetropolis Studios. The live to vinyl session will be broadcast on The Steve LamacqShow on BBC Radio 6 Music as part of Record Store Day’s officiallaunch event. The Bristol experimental band will be recording two new songs onto atwo track EP, live and direct to vinyl at Metropolis Studios -and BBC6 Music’s Steve Lamacq show is giving fans the chance to listen in onthis unique live performance. Recording ‘live to vinyl’ is the original process that artists used torecord music for public consumption. There’s no modern technology,it’s simply playing and recording the songs in one take. In today’s digital age, the art of capturing music live to vinyl has long beenforgotten, but Metropolis have recreated the experience using theirunique cutting lathes. Part of the magic of recording music live to vinyl in this way is thatSquid must get it right first time. Throw in the added pressure of anaudience listening live at home via BBC 6 Music, this is a recordingmoment unlike any other in recent history."
