Rick Webster aka Unkle Bob returns with The Deepest Sea. This mini-album is by far his best work to date and the documentation of a journey that took him to Ghana, Berlin and the Highlands of Scotland.
After three independent album releases, European and North American tours and a burgeoning online fanbase, Unkle Bob (the band) called it a day. But as principal songwriter, the music wasn’t quite finished with Rick. A music project in Africa organised by Glasgow’s Green Door Studios would lead Rick to meet Eilidh Mcmillan (Breakfast Muff/ Rapid Tan/ Jealous Girlfriend) who provides backing vocals on Trust, and while working alongside Ghanaian musicians he began to pen new songs on a ukulele. After Africa…
…he finished writing/recording the album in Loch Tay in the Highlands of Scotland on minimal recording equipment where he rented space in a barn. The album draws influence from Sun Kil Moon, Sigor Ros, Bon Iver and has an analogue, raw feel to the production thanks to Green Door studio’s producer Samuel J Smith who mixed and mastered The Deepest Sea. Tracks such as Trust embody the haunting melancholy featured throughout this mini-album which then has bursts of fuzz, grunge and pop.
