E lby & The Rain
core members Matt
'Dibbs' Dibbley and Dave
Cochran met in 2000 at Darnal Music Factory in Sheffield,
a now-defunct technical college providing courses in sound engineering
and (music) business. Neither paid much attention to the
majority of classes, but each recognised in the other an
opportunity to hook up with a like-minded musician, in order to produce
some great-sounding music. During their year at the DMF they
recorded around a dozen rough demos mainly on four-track and,
occasionally, on 16-track reel-to-reel. These tapes have
since
come to be known as The
Dibbley Files .
The
pair have re-recorded many of those original songs at their home studio
in Sheffield, as well as working with outside producers, such as
Luke Scott
(Babybird) and
Alan
Smythe (Seafruit,
producer of early Pulp) at his 2Fly studio.
Nowadays
each
of the guys has their own projects - Dibbs gigs regularly in a live
band around Europe, and Dave writes, records and gigs with
Kanako &
The Numb
Skulls in London - but each remains
dedicated to the Elby
project,
producing catchy infectious music, with the aim of offering these
tracks as song demos for other recording artists on the lookout for a
good tune.
Music
lovers, we salute you.
