Guilty Conscience Music Blog

Once, when I was feeling frivolous and was too young to realise the value of money, I took a taxi home through West London just as dawn was breaking. I’d love to say I got home, fired up the old PC I was using at the time and wrote this track but unfortunately I got home lay down and thought; “wow! That taxi ride was really, really zzzzz…” Months later, this tune came together and before anyone calls me tone deaf, the slight dissonance is deliberate. It’s pretty timely with the Chemical Brothers using a it on The Salmon Song. Theirs feels a bit too much for me, but that’s a difference of musical opinion. I wanted to encapsulate that slightly wrong feeling you get going home after a big night out and for some reason the two step beat and old school bass did it for me. It’s not something you’d dance to nor is it full on chill-out; it’s in between the two.
