Below you can watch the final acoustic session from Modern Hinterland featuring music from their latest album The Longest Part of the Night which we reviewed here. Links to the two previous sessions are below.
A reminder from Chris Hornsby on how this acoustic session came about: “Aside from an undying love of MTV unplugged, we thought if we were going to make some videos it would be cool to do something new with the songs. We stripped them right back to basics and built up new versions using a few of the acoustic instruments we had kicking around our flats. We talked Andy Willsher into squeezing all of his Camera’s into a front room and spent an afternoon annoying the neighbours.”
Of ‘Just Be Sitting With You’ he tells us:
“This song is about anxiety and not being able to really help, at least directly, when someone is suffering from it. It could seem a bit Zeitgeisty but it’s based on experience for me, and I think the simple lullaby-like structure comes out nicely with the piano taking the forefront.”
