Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt of Everything But The Girl chat to 6 Music DJ and psychotherapist Nemone
Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt share the pivotal moments that have made them the artist they are today, and the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of their life together.
Everything But The Girl's Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt share the pivotal moments that have made them the multi-talented artists they are today, and the songs that have moved them and sound-tracked the ups and downs of their lives.
Having met as students at Hull university in 1982, Everything But The Girl's sound was synonymous with the following decade after Todd Terry turned their 1994 release 'Missing' into an enormous club and chart hit. Their collective CV encompasses The Marine Girls, hugely successful club nights Lazy Dog, Neighbourhood and Cherry Jam, and record label Buzzin鈥� Fly. As authors, they have released highly acclaimed memoirs, Tracey writing 'Bedsit Disco Queen' and Ben charting his near death experiences in the book 'Patient'. The duo returned this year in a blaze of glory following a 24 year hiatus in releasing their 11th studio album Fuse.
Talking to Nemone, who combines her roles of DJ and qualified psychotherapist, the couple take a deep dive to share their epic musical journey and reveal how personal experiences and emotions are woven through their own work. It鈥檚 a chance to understand their relationship with music more intimately, to learn more about how they鈥檝e used sound to communicate, and how they鈥檝e reached the place we meet them in today.
