SkyDaddy

SkyDaddy

“Anchor Chains, Plane Motors & Train Whistles” – taken from the mouth of George Bailey of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, the words symbolise a blind faith in technological advancement. He described these as the “three greatest sounds in the world.” Even a century on, these sound images denote grandeur and expanse. This is what Skydaddy wanted to achieve in the sound of this forthcoming record: a surrendering of being tied to the old world and an exploration of modern anxieties. Being his favourite film, it is apt that a source of such sentimentality, now royalty free, oversaturates cinemas and TV channels every December, its unique charm exploited. Fakhre plays on this, ending the record by sampling audio from the film.
