With rumours that Spector might give up music producing following those murder allegations Starsailor have spoken about the possibility of having the last ever Spector produced album. The legendary producer worked with the band on their 'Silence Is Easy' album (out 15 Sep).
The band's James Walsh told NME yesterday: "It feels strange really. The time we spent with him, he was eccentric but by no means was there any indication that he could be capable of anything that serious. I think it was an amazing experience first and foremost. To see, for example, the way he could make a string quartet sound like an orchestra. His hours were very unconventional. He started at six at night and finished at four in the morning. That was quite hard work. He didn't want to use anything modern, any pro-tools or anything like that. Whatever you recorded, stuck. You couldn't really go back over anything and say 'That could sound better or that could sound better'. In the end, two of the songs he did are on the album - 'Silence Is Easy' and 'White Dove'. That style suited those two songs better than the other ones. It would obviously be a great honour if we were to be the last band. But also it would mean the loss of someone so good who had given so much to music."
The rest of 'Silence Is Easy' was produced by the band and Danton Supple, with 'Shark Food' produced by John Leckie.
