Clyde Archive by The Quiet Statues: Church Acoustics

Review of The Quiet Statues’ Clyde Archive—church acoustics recorded live in Glasgow with no artificial reverb.

1 min read

The Quiet Statues’ Clyde Archive was tracked live in one room under Glasgow stone. No artificial reverb—the church already had too much.

Stone Arches — Three seconds of return

The singer’s voice comes back three seconds later, changed but still able to give. Recorded under Glasgow stone.

Bell Cord — Pulled once

The string sound is the actual church bell cord tied to a radiator in the basement. The silence after is dense.

Hand claps and foot stomps

Recorded in the nave where echoes live. The room itself is an instrument.

Clyde Archive is available on the LyricsMirchi archive with full lyrics.
