Pritpal Soor

Pritpal Soor is a London-based music producer and writer. He has produced for bands and artists such as Anna Calvi, The Loose Salute, Cheap Hotel,^[1] Out Of The Afternoon^[2] and Mancub Babywoman.^[3] He is also the vocalist and guitarist for London punk/pop two-piece Flower Of Zeus.^[4]

Music background

His early musical career was spent as a guitarist and writer in a handful of bands, predominately in unsigned London outfit, I Own Kings.^[5] Much of this period was spent recording demo's for this band and also his old schoolfriend Ian McCutcheon's band The Loose Salute. It was this relationship that landed him the production job on The Loose Salute's debut album Tuned To Love, released on Graveface Records and Heavenly Records in 2007 and 2008 respectively. He also produced their second album Getting Over Being Under on Graveface^[6] and Big Potato Records^[7] in 2011

It was a friendship formed with Gregg Braden (who served as a temporary drummer in I Own Kings) that lead Pritpal to producing the debut single New York^[1] for Cheap Hotel (Gregg's band) in 2008. Anna Calvi was the guitarist and vocalist for the band. Anna was keen to try some music outside of the band and the two of them started recording in November 2007 at Pritpal's studio in Fulham, London. The sessions continued throughout the period of a year and a half and it was these recordings that formed the majority of Anna Calvi's debut album released on Domino Records in 2011.
