<p>Brigitte Handley has a new release out, as well an EP of vinyl featuring unreleased Dark Shadows live tracks.</p>
<p>In between all her German shenanigans she’s been recording again and pondering the evil sound that is autotune.</p>
<p>Time to talk about that ominous looking splatter vinyl pressing, the implications of releasing music on cassette tape and who the hell presses 7″ picture singles.<br></p>
<p>We meet at the scenic Madame Frou Frou Cafe to discuss Brigitte’s new releases and the implications of recording acoustic guitar in the same room as Shirley Bassey’s vocals.<br></p>
<p>So have a coffee and pull up a Cher.</p>
