A few weeks before Halloween, Smith and Lyle met in Los Angeles. It was a time where things were up in the air and all things were possible in all realms of life. Lyle, an accomplished songwriter (and now the frontman of synth-wave band <a href="spotify:artist:2NFrAuh8RQdQoS7iYFbckw" data-name="The Midnight">The Midnight</a>), had recently written Werewolf.
Meanwhile, Moore was in Brighton planning a trip to the United States. He had grown up in a musical household, with the shadow of his father, guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:23wr9RJZg0PmYvVFyNkQ4j" data-name="Gary Moore">Gary Moore</a>, hanging over him. Moore’s father had recently passed away and he felt an urge to leave England to find his voice as an artist.
Moore arrived in LA eager to work, but a producer he was scheduled to work with was in the throes of a peyote induced psychotic episode. Moore ended up working with Smith. The two wrote and recorded Fate the first day they met each other.
Moore later returned to Los Angeles, where he and Smith spent a month in a make-shift studio on the beach in Malibu, writing and recording an album’s worth of material, drinking Johnny Walker green label, and occasionally getting g-rated psychedelic. At the end of the month, they traveled to Moore’s childhood friend <a href="spotify:artist:0BNG5EOWoNlIE1Q1c4L0Kh" data-name="Dhani Harrison">Dhani Harrison</a>’s Santa Monica studio, to have him add vocals to a few of their songs. Harrison’s father was a close friend of Moore’s Father’s, having worked together in the <a href="spotify:artist:2hO4YtXUFJiUYS2uYFvHNK" data-name="Traveling Wilburys">Traveling Wilburys</a>.
A songwriter friend drew parallels between Moore's and Lyle's music and the idea to merge them was suggested. Here’s what happened next.
