- Out this Friday, the release includes new music from Mira Calix, Gold Panda, Hannah Peel, Galya Bisengalieva and Oliver Coates.
The award-winning excuse the mess podcast has compiled its best moments into a compilation and book.
Launched in 2017, excuse the mess sees founder Ben Corrigan inviting musicians for a conversation and musical collaboration. The musical element has three rules: there can be no pre-planning, the track must be finished in one day and they can only use one instrument.
Corrigan has compiled the jams into a two-part digital compilation, each of which arrives alongside a book of the interviews and photos from the session. Both volumes are out on February 4th via Hidden Notes Records, and include artists such as Mira Calix, Gold Panda, Hannah Peel, Galya Bisengalieva and Oliver Coates. The "instruments" used range from a violin, cello and vinyl record to a jar of pesto.
Listen to Corrigan's collaborations with Douglas Dare and Hannah Peel.
