After the Quietus ran a lengthy interview with BC,NR lyricist Isaac Wood last winter, now Richard Foster talks at length to Lewis Evans, Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery and Luke Mark about what really makes the band tick
Black Country, New Road by El Hardwick
Lewis Evans, saxophonist, points the laptop camera at a large pile of wooden planks he has collected at the end of what I presume to be the Black Country, garden. The pile was the neighbour’s old fence, ready to be replaced with a new one with concrete foundations and slats that will let the ivy creep through without much obstruction or spoiling. According to bassist Tyler Hyde, Lewis has become a “DIY God” in lockdown, having also sanded an oakwood floor with a hand sander, a messy job as anyone who has done similar will know. Luckily the boards weren’t painted. It’s the small mercies that matter. Which is how Black Country, New Road are viewing life at the moment.
