How Black Country, New Road made "Ants From Up There" (Part 2) 

Glad to see Issac is still hanging out with all the band members after he stopped. Friendship >>>>> bandmembers

Got quite emotional seeing Isaac at the end. So great to see him smiling and looking happy. Thanks so much for your vids. Great to hear someone express so eloquently what I love about this band.

Of course we all wish we could’ve heard more from Isaac, but it’s good just to see him at all. Great to see him laughing, and having what seems like a great connection with the band still.

Seeing the band members laugh and banter is so cool. This is like your Peter Jackson’s Get Back, Skye!

I also got super emotional at the end not only because of seeing Isaac smile and hang out with the other band members, but because they all look like such good friends. It made me so happy to realize that behind the amazing music these people make, there are some very heartwarming friendships as well. It really made me appreciate the friends I have now. Thank you for this amazing video!

It cracks me up how they can’t resist an opportunity for a billie eilish reference

i literally built this whole month schedule around the release of this second part! thank you professor skye!!!

I love the way Lewis invited Charlie for a drink with him (and presumably Luke and Isaac) so casually during the interview was nice to see. They’re actually friends and that’s refreshing and wonderful

Professor you’re really creating something special with this channel. So refreshing to hear positive long form open discussions about music like this. No surprise BC,NR would be so happy to share their process with you. 🙏🏻

I hope this to be part 2 of an infinity of parts

lets fucking gooooo isaacccc

"Thank you all for recording that piece of music" indeed. Simply perfect

Loved this! So interesting hearing about there processes of making this incredible album. Shame Georgia didn’t appear but it was amazing to see everyone once else pop in especially Issac at the end. Was so happy to see a smile on his face. Its also worth noting how quick Lewis smashes down a pizza 😂

That last moment with Isaac though, is still a relief, thanks for doing this lovely interview, it blows my mind still!

LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID TOGETHER

ooooh part 2! part 1 was so good i actually forgot there was going to be a whole second part

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 💯

I hope these two videos of yours are incorporated into the "canon" of BC, NR down the line. You're doing great work here, absolutely powerful watch

thank u so much for doing this man

Really cool interview! Loved your review of the album and these very thorough breakdowns.

Thank you for this interview, great stuff

This is the kind of deep dive I needed - incredible videos

Massive thanks for this man. Amazing

this is really amazing Skye!

Great interview. It was fun listening to the recording processes and just seeing their personalities.

Fantastic and lovely interaction between fan and band. Very interesting and special to watch. Thanks for making this happen Prof Skye

thank you professor skye this was amazing

Amazing amazing amazing video, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

I dont think i stopped smiling for the whole video, a great piece of insight into the band from every member.

love the beard man. thank you so much for what you’re doing. you are doing gods work

this is fascinating and heartening and i appreciated every moment of it. thank you for the wonderful vid professor :) - fellow 585er

Incredible interview and insight into what will undoubtedly go down as one of the best albums of the decade. It's so refreshing to see how down to earth and relatable all the members are (especially Lewis, he seems like the sort of guy who'd be great to chat to over a pint!). There is no pomposity or pretentiousness about them, even when you could probably forgive them for it considering the masterpiece they've just created. Thanks for uploading this Professor, and thank you to Black Country, New Road for the brilliant album!

Can we just take a moment to give massive credit for the glorious Smiths poater collection? 7"s, 12"s, albums, compilations all represented. Bravo! (I'll trade you a Shakespeare's Sister for your The World Won't Listen) Excellent second half to the greatest BC,NR interview ever. I'll be looking in the shops for - a decade from now - the authorized BC,NR bio penned by you.

Is that Isaac at the end of the video?

I’m so excited to hear from our lord and savior, Issac

Finally!!! So excited to watch this

Really great video thank you

dr skye 'that chorus is just like my favorite thing in the world, can you please tell me a story about it. lewis evans: yeah i just like did the thing, and htey were like nah, and hten was like, wait what about this, and then it was like 'yeah cool'

I’m HYPED

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you in general for all of your post-punk related videos (and especially the drain gang video haha). It really helped me out understanding this genre from different perspectives. Before the tour got cancelled last year I made a parody cover song of the middle part of Athens, France and the musical style of the Track X (The Guest) version. I basically took the lyrics and replaced them with my situation of having messed up to buy a ticket for the then sold out show at Bogen F in Zurich. While doing this, I still kept the rhyme scheme of the original verse and filled it up with a mix of references from other BCNR songs and my own life also related to references of the band. For example being a G-Eazy fan in 2016 and having the black on black, hair slick back with sunglasses on or starting the song with: "they ask me... why didn't you buy a ticket before?" instead of "they ask me... why don't you sing with an english accent?" I think you would enjoy the lyrical content for the fun of it. If you're interested you can find the video on my channel and if you have any questions about an unclear reference, feel free to ask me. Thanks a lot again for your effort. I'm curious about your perspective on music in future videos.

Watching this a bit late but I wanted to drop in and say absolutely incredible video as always. As youve said this is decades worth of progress analysing the album happening in like a month!! Also omg I love that smiths poster wall in the background of your bread song discussion

Great job mate

to be absolutely honest when i first heard this album after looking at your Stampies a week or so ago i was like... "yea its ok but ... masterpiece?" then the more i listened, as you said "youre gonna love this album, just give it a moment!" and oh boy were you right. and the more i consider it and learn about it the more i love every song. Good Will Hunting is also a highlight for me, but i cannot pick a favourite. theyre all so good!!!

georgias vilin thing in the rearly version of concorde sorta really distracting but its also incrediblky cool to hear the foreshadowing of the ending in the verses . the endign melodies are so good and like, i just yeah, i wanna eat them so its good to have multiple of them

Only just got around to watching this now and I'm amazed, as always, by your consistent balance between approachability and professionalism in your work. Hoping one day to audit your (ideally positive) review of one of my shitty band's inevitably shitty records once we actually make one. From one Francophile music nerd to another, outstanding work, Skye.

Long have I waited

They're so coooll 😩

oh lord yes it is here

The Prof looking sharp

Professor - will you be doing videos for the songs from this album that you haven't yet done dedicated videos?

I think the Billie Eilish part is where she says “quiet when I’m coming home” at 0:52 of when the party’s over.

thanks

Goodwill Hunting is also my fave

The airtower looks like a UFO on Italian wedding version

YES YES YESSS

34:46 your dog is so cute!!!

Imagine delivering pizza to Lewis Evans

bro im fucking dyingggg 16:05 lmaoooo

Yoooooooo let’s go

You should do a review on one of sematary's mixtapes

Think I prefer the original version of Haldern, interesting to hear the difference

accepted there would be no part 2 lmao

Review Kno and Sadistik: Bring Me Back When The World Is Cured

please consider listening to the album red burns by standing on the corner, stratosphere by duster, and/or world of echo by arthur russell

« Gaffes et gadgets » is the best Gaston Lagaffe

You should look into the genere of music called sigilkore. It goes so hard. Some notable artists related to sigilkore are axxturel/luci4, islurwhenitalk, majinblxxdy, bacleo, sellasouls, 2shanez, ect... The just of sigilkore is pretty much in the name. It's sigil rap essentially. I feel like you'd be in for a big suprise similar to when you first listened to drain gang.

its actually crazy how shit concorde is without the mandolin/guitar noodly thing

can you review a sofaygo album?

...hornmany

Awe nah they got the wrong georgia 😭😭

the “toxic white male” part was a bit cringe and unnecessary but apart from that this interview was beautiful and wholesome. thanks Skye and BCNR

Thanks so much for this professor! Made me appreciate this album and this band even more than before
