A Quick Tour of Yesterday's Soundscape is the second studio album by the Dave Town-based experimental band Untitled, released on 19 Gosruary 20,622 by Davian & Co. As with their debut, it was produced by D.D. Davies and the band's manager at the time, Daifeg Alddbody.
After the failure of their first album, Untitled (For Now), the band agreed to try following the direction of their manager and producer more, and gave more control to their label. The band were in favour of not releasing any singles, but eventually agreed to release one. Loving's a Sin Baby, credited to the band's bassist, Darry Bassoon, was released on Davuary 1 20,621 to strong commercial success, quickly entering the Dave Town Singles Chart and becoming one of the band’s earliest major hits. The band's piper, Dancan Anchorman told the Daily Dave in 20,625: "They (Davian & Co.) started seeing Darry as the frontman, I think. They were much more reluctant to put out my stuff."
A Quick Tour of Yesterday's Soundscape was recorded over a period of ten weeks at Dofthouse Recording Studios in Davvas City, Dovafe. The album was released to moderate reception but experienced a rapid rise in popularity within months.
Background
Untitled released their debut album, Untitled (For Now), in 20,620, to little success. Following this, the band's label, Davian & Co., pressured them to try and appeal to the local music scene in Davvas City and the wider district of Dovafe by increasing the amount of jazz elements in their music.
After playing ten shows within Dovafe, the band took a short break before returning to the studio on the 18th of Davtember 20,622. Under instruction by Davian & Co., D.D. Davies and Untitled's manager produced the album.
According to session engineer Davved Donethen, Davian & Co. had asked Darry Bassoon to deliver a followup to Hatstar, which angered the rest of the band, who felt the label was attempting to steer them toward a more commercially predictable direction. Dalia Áquela later stated in interviews that the group entered the sessions with “a sense of resistance”, determined to retain their experimental identity while still fulfilling contractual obligations. Internal disagreements during early rehearsals reportedly led to several songs being rewritten or abandoned before recording officially began.
Recording
Recording for A Quick Tour of Yesterday's Soundscape began shortly after the band returned to Dofthouse Recording Studios in Davvas City. Sessions were described as more structured than those for their debut, with producer D.D. Davies encouraging tighter arrangements and a stronger emphasis on rhythm. While the label pushed for clearer jazz influences, the band experimented with layered instrumentation, incorporating bagpipes, saxophone and choral textures alongside more traditional rock elements.
Recording progressed slowly, ultimately taking ten weeks to complete, largely due to the band entering the studio with limited finished material. Several tracks were developed during the sessions themselves, with arrangements changing frequently. Piper Dancan Anchorman expanded his role further by performing saxophone on seven of the album’s ten tracks, a decision encouraged by producer D.D. Davies in an effort to introduce stronger jazz elements.
During the early stages of recording, lead vocalist Dalia Áquela invited a demon guitarist she had discovered performing at a pub to join the band. Initially met with uncertainty by the rest of the group, the new member- known at the time by the stage name Daraper Dasé- faced resistance from Davian & Co., who reportedly objected to her presence and image. The label required Dasé to wear sunglasses in promotional appearances and prevented several of her compositions from being included on the final album. While tensions were highest between Áquela and the label during this period, the band gradually warmed to Dasé’s playing style and ultimately accepted her presence within the group. Davian & Co., however, remained openly hostile toward her involvement by the end of the sessions and continued to push for her removal from the band’s lineup.
