Vocal Unboxing With Anna Murphy: ‘Pain’
Lockdown video number 11: Inspired by the idea of one of our awesome followers, Anna recorded a video in which you can not only hear how our song “Pain" sounds in its rawest form, but also gain some insight on how she writes and produces backing vocals. Should this become a series — ideas for titles are very welcome... Enjoy!
‘Death’ (Acoustic Version)
For the 10th video of our Lockdown Content campaign, we gave our song 'Death' the acoustic treatment, once again featuring our session bass player Nicolas Winter (and Anna took the opportunity to incorporate the Hammond organ at her studio). We hope you enjoy it! Let us know what you think in the comments.
‘Insomnia’ (Drum Playthrough)
While we work on our next video for you, here's some lockdown content from our archives: a drum playthrough of 'Insomnia', recorded by Merlin Sutter at YouTube Space London last year, at the start of our 'The Spell' world tour. Got any questions for Merlin? Post them in the comments!
‘Black Moon’ (Bass Playthrough)
In today's (8th!) video of our lockdown content campaign, Ivo puts aside his guitar for once and brings you a bass playthrough of "Black Moon"! What are your thoughts on it, and what other bass or guitar playthroughs would you like to hear in the future?
‘Challenge’ (Orchestral Hurdy-Gurdy Version)
In today's video, Anna Murphy has prepared something special for you:
"For the 7th video of our lockdown campaign I recorded a new acoustic version of our song "Challenge", the first Cellar Darling song we released. The only tracks from the original I included in the mix were the wonderful strings of the brilliant Shir-Ran Yinon - so with about 20 layers of hurdy-gurdy piled on top you could call this a "string section remix" of some sort…
‘The Hermit’ (Drum Playthrough)
In the sixth video of our Lockdown Content campaign, Merlin Sutter is performing a playthrough of our song 'The Hermit' for you. What a fitting title!
‘Death’ (Guitar Playthrough)
In the fifth video of our Lockdown Content campaign, Ivo offers a playthrough of 'Death'. We hope you enjoy it. Let us know what else you'd like to see him play!
A day in the lockdown of Ivo Henzi
In the fourth video of our lockdown content campaign, we give you a a peek at what Ivo is doing (and sometimes struggling with) during these special times.
Let us know in the comments if you enjoyed the video, and share your stories of what you're up to these days!

That's why we came up with our Lockdown Content Creativity Contest. We invite you to submit your creations in one (or several) of the following three categories by midnight CEST on Sunday, 26 April, to contest@cellardarling.com!
‘Under The Oak Tree’ (Acoustic Version)
In the third video of our Lockdown Content Campaign, we share with you an acoustic rendition of "Under The Oak Tree", featuring our session bass player Nicolas Winter. What inspired us to record this particular track was one of the many requests we received: our longtime supporter Steve Harborne has been asking for this one every chance he got (thanks, Steve!). We noticed that quite a few more of you would like to hear this song again, so it seems to be a win-win situation :) Let us know in the comments if you like this new version!
A day in the lockdown of Merlin Sutter
Here's the second video of our lockdown content campaign: accompany Merlin on a day in his lockdown routine!
