James/Cook - When We’re Free - 2014

Over a few days during the November of 2011, at a beach house on the beautiful Taranaki coastline of the West coast of New Zealand, A handful of microphones captured the raw beginnings of these tunes - just the melody-laden, lyrical self-reflection of Kayleigh Cook’s voice, the sweeping refined acoustic guitar of Qedric James, and the ever present Tasman Sea.

The original tracks in their raw form remained untouched until recently a selection of local Wellington musicians under the direction of Qedric James crafted them into the songs you are now hearing.

With the addition of Cello, Saxophone, Flute, Piano, Double Bass, and other instrumentation these songs have succeeded in retaining the fresh ambiance of the ocean and all of the intimacy from those few days on the Taranaki coastline.

When We’re Free was written by Kayleigh Cook & Qedric James, and performed by: 

Kayleigh Cook - Vocals, Piano
Qedric James - Acoustic Guitars, Drums/Percussion, Electric Bass
Ruby James - Piano
Laura Loach - Flute
Charley Davenport - Cello
Louisa Nicklin - Saxophone

Recorded, Engineered, Mixed, and Produced by Qedric James
Mastered by Mike Gibson at Munki Studios
