Don’t Settle (Vol. 1 - Transmissions East)

Description

Don’t Settle - Transmissions East is the first volume of a planned two-part series for this year. While showcasing an incredibly prolific and diverse career, it's not a mere compilation, but a live album recorded in the studio: no second takes, no autotune, no editing. The raw, direct energy of Glen (founder of The Frames) is captured like never before. Recorded at Berlin’s mythical Funkhaus, a historic East German recording and radio studio with an immense room boasting perfect acoustics, the album was captured in a controlled studio environment, yet recorded and filmed over two consecutive nights, in front of 600 fans each night. This release is supported not only by a virtually sold-out UK and European tour (including a concert in London at the Roundhouse) and a series of US shows, but also by a feature film and a making-of documentary, tracing this particular period of Glen’s career, looking both backward and forward.
