ep22 - Portishead / The Acorn / The Roots

What's a Session?

We handpick one artist each week to record new versions of songs you may already know and love, or may not be aware of yet, such as unreleased tracks, alternate versions, or covers. These songs are recorded in a one take fashion live at Big Ralph Studios, everyone recording in the same room at the same time, with no over-dubs or autotune. Two are featured in our weekly podcast; the rest are released free of charge, exclusively through Haveyouheard.net.

How Are Artists Chosen?

We're located in the heart of downtown Atlanta. Either Atlanta based bands or bands touring through have an opportunity to play a Have You Heard session with studio fees waved under the agreement that the songs will be free to the listener indefinitely.

Can I Book Time At Big Ralph?

Absolutely. We have a knowledgeable and experienced staff ready to help you make the record you've always wanted, at a price anyone can afford. Please note that this is a seperate endeavor from Have You Heard and requests should be emailed to Big Ralph Studios.

While the hook for Flood pt. 1 may be the melody of the year, Canadian rockers The Acorn have a deep understanding of rhythm. Their complex poly-rhythms accentuate already powerful songs into a driving emotional powerhouse. One we were graciously able to witness first hand.

The Acorn - Crooked Legs

The Acorn - Flood pt. 1

The Acorn - Low Gravity

The Acorn - Flood pt. 2

The Acorn - Plateau Ramble
