United Kingdom | Broken Fires - "Boundaries"

RECENT

Broken Fires are a British band formed in Swansea, South Wales, in 2014. They have just released a new EP, "New friends". From it, we now enjoy "Boundaries". About the song, band member Tom says: "The lead vocal and violins for 'Boundaries' were added at an old chapel in Monmouth. We had to push home the final bit of recording and so hired this place for three days. Angharad Jenkins of Welsh folk band Calan came to visit with her little daughter. She recorded the violins while I (silently) entertained her daughter next to her feet, being careful not to make a squeak. She stared at her mum in awe for a few takes before the novelty wore off!".
