Kim Churchill - Weight Falls

Writing an album is no easy task. Especially if it’s your second. Kim Churchill learned that the hard way. He spent most of his time touring following the release his record Silence/Win (2014) and writing new work simultaneously. Eighteen months later, the record seemed finished and his label was already planning its release, when Churchill decided to throw the whole thing in the bin. He states on his website: ’It sounded good. But some very subtle layer of my consciousness was saying to me, “It’s not all that inspiring”.’
So, he started over. And some likely stressful and challenging times followed. But, in the end it was all worth it, he assured me. Weight_Falls became the beautiful record he wanted to follow up with. Meeting Churchill in Amsterdam, I saw a polite, very determined and self-assured musician, who knows what he wants and how he wants to get there. No shortcuts allowed.
I like that, and I like the session he recorded with me in the smoking room of the Bitterzoet in Amsterdam. He covered Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Parallel Universe - and actually made me like the song - and played the album’s title track Weight Falls with added harmonies from his band members.
