Premiere: Watch bedouinsndclsh's EdgeOfNight video below
New Orleans exerted some influence in bringing Bedouin Soundclash out of hiatus, a relationship that's celebrated in the exuberant video for"Edges of the Night," premiering below from the Canadian group's latest album"Back in 2010 we kind of knew it was time to take a break," singer-guitarist Jay Malinowski, who formed Bedouin Soundclash during 2001 with bassist Eon Sinclair, tells Billboard.
The seeds for return were actually planted early, when Sinclair went to New Orleans' Preservation Hall and met director Ben Jaffe in 2012."He said, 'If you guys ever want to make a record, we'd love to have you do it here,'" Malinowski recalls. Four years later the guitarist wrote a song called"Clockwork," a brassy, big band-style jam that he felt was"a Bedouin track," and Sinclair suggested taking Jaffe up on his offer to record in New Orleans.
"'Edges of the Night' was one we recorded live off the floor from Preservation Hall itself," Malinowski says."We did it in, like, four hours. It was crazy. A lot of musicians the night before were saying, 'You got to start praying, man. There's ghosts in Preservation Hall, and if they don't want you recording, crazy things will get messed up.' So everyone was a little nervous.
The song's video, which features the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and other guests, captures the buoyant spirit of the session."That track, I feel like you can hear the sweat in the room," Malinowski says."It was, like, August in New Orleans. We had 25 or 30 people crowded into Preservation Hall, and it felt like 80. Eon was engineering. I love watching near the end of 'cause you can see we're so happy to be done.
