{"product_id":"pennines_recordings-2008-09_2026_disco-bertus-france","title":"Recordings 2008-09","description":"The six tracks recorded between 2008 and 2009 constitute, to date, the entirety of Pennines' discography. In 2006, this quartet began composing their first songs in Norwich, UK, and released \"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...\" and \"Open Closed Open\" in 2008 on a first CD titled a posteriori \"First CD\" (also known as the demo or free CD), whose original physical copies were handmade and distributed for free at concerts. Emerging from the British indie scene of the mid-2000s, Pennines had the chance to share the stage with contemporary bands such as Stapleton, Hot Club de Paris, Colour, Dartz!, TTNG, and other like-minded musicians. Popularized by genre pioneers like toe and American Football, Pennines favored guitar arpeggios, syncopation, call-and-response staccato harmonies, and unexpected rhythmic choices. \"What I loved about Pennines was the total lack of fussiness,\" recalls singer and guitarist Henry Tremain, referring to the band's direct approach. Pennines used a clean guitar sound, without distortion or effects, and a DIY recording approach, aiming for a natural rendition of the songs. The downtempo, meditative coda of \"Collapsing New Buildings\" perfectly illustrates Pennines' sonic signature, as does the mesmerizing guitar playing in the middle of \"Pilot Holes,\" two tracks that also feature rhythmic and punchy passages, thus demonstrating the band's ability to balance energy and subtlety. The album \"Recordings 2008-09\" concludes in under twenty minutes with the frantic track \"Does Not Want,\" whose abrupt ending leaves the listener wanting more—an ideal conclusion for a band whose first active period lasted only a few years, resulting in a discography shorter than most albums.","brand":"Pennines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57411065119064,"sku":null,"price":20260807.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0634457261556.jpg?v=1780304921","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/pennines_recordings-2008-09_2026_disco-bertus-france","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
