In The Seams

‘In The Seams’ marks a departure from SAINT SAVIOUR’s (aka BECKY JONES) 2012 pop-oriented debut Union. Writing the new record was an exercise in stripping back these layers and revealing the stunningly beautiful song-craft that lay beneath.For the first time in an extremely busy career – she was previously lead singer with The RGBs and toured and wrote with Groove Armada (most notably on the Grammy-nominated Black Light) before going it alone as SAINT SAVIOUR – Jones set about writing about herself, her own experiences and emotions. The result is a selection of twelve delicate and heart-felt, folk-infused tracks woven together into ‘In The Seams’. 'This album is all about me and my memories and my childhood,' she says. 'It’s really honest and for that reason I wanted the songs to just be allowed to be natural. I didn’t want to trivialize any of that honesty.'She describes her meeting with collaborator/producer Bill Ryder-Jones as 'a real epiphany,' and cites their musical connection and appreciation of each other’s work as a driving force throughout the recording process and one unique to this time of her life and career. 'It’s a nice feeling when we work together because we ‘get’ each other and I’ve never had that before'. The results were palpably visible at a recent performance at London’s Roundhouse where, backed by members of the celebrated Manchester Camerata Orchestra and Ryder-Jones himself on guitar, Saint Saviour stunned a crowded room to silence with a live rendition of the new album in full.
