I Donated Myself To The Mexican Army (Studio Version with Gomez)



The song was released on a Groundwork cd and performed by Joseph, Ben Ottewell, Ian Ball, Olly Peacock, Graham Pattison, Angeline.

"Gomez paid Arthur a visit to the LA hotel he was staying at and Arthur later invited the band to join him the recording studio. 

"The music felt like it was infected by some spirit or something," confesses Arthur with his feet propped up on the glass table that sits in front of him. 

"Ben played some great guitar and Ian and Ben sang and Olly played drums and it was amazing," continues Arthur. "I swear that was like some of the best music I've ever been involved in making because they're just so talented. It was (also) easy we did it in just two hours."

Arthur hopes optimistically "I Donated Myself To The Mexican Army," the track spawned from their musical collaboration will be released at some point. "Maybe five years from now. Long after you're not interested anymore."
