The Upside by Chris Braide & Dean Johnson

Originally written in 2005, and now revised with 20 years of experience behind them, the original ‘Upside’ album seems something of a false start. Extensive remixing and fresh overdubs, including drums by the acclaimed Ash Soan (Snow Patrol, Squeeze, Downes Braide Association), and special guest The High Llama’s leader Sean O’Hagen (formerly of Microdisney) adds sublime acoustic guitar to ‘Made Your Life Hell’, along with the endless possibilities at hand in Chris’s state-of-the-art studio; the vision is fully realised, but the modern sheen still retains the spirit of those final days of recording at the hallowed Townhouse, as liquidators stripped the studio of its period gear, with legends like Bryan Ferry among those claiming trophies. This is one of the last albums ever to be recorded at the now legendary studios in London. Additional recording and mixing was completed in Los Angeles at Magical Thinking Studio.
