Recording were started a year ago when Chris Hooson was on holidays in America. Being friend of American Music Club he called Bruce Kaphan and asked if they could visit his studio to work on a few demos. They recorded three songs and made an appointment for March 2002. The rest of the songs were completed with Bruce and Tim Mooney (both ex-American Music Club members). Some finishing touches were added in Leeds, Fremont and Nashille (with Derri Daugherty who also mixed and mastered Buddy and Julie Miller's record).
The result is the perfect summary of everything Dakota Suite tried to achieve. A merging of soul, country and jazz, sweet horns are mixed delicate steel and plaintive strings, a blend of Chris Hooson's influences, people as diverse as Bill Evans, Elenei Karaindrou and Tom Waits.
Theres nobody in Britain making a finer fusion of lush instrumentation and 3am moods than Dakota Suite. Soundscapes for a desolate and fractured heart.
