Video: Darkstar, “A Day’s Pay For A Day’s Work”

December 06, 2012


On October 13th, Yours Truly traveled down to Darkstar’s studio in Leeds to capture them playing this spacious live rendition of "A Day's Pay For A Day's Work," a previously unheard cut from their forthcoming Warp debut, News From Nowhere. Hear them wax on the challenges of reimagining their grittily textured arrangments for the stage, and then watch as they as they construct this lovely, slow-burn ballad from the bottom up—chord by chord, sampler hit by sampler hit.
