The Grand Theatre Volume 2 in stores now Matthew Sweet discusses “She Walks The Night” with Rolling Stone “‘She Walks the Night,’ the first single from Matthew Sweet’s 13th studio album Modern Art, sounds like a classic sunny Sweet power pop tune, but it’s actually a major departure for the veteran songwriter. “It’s really about an apparition,” he told Rolling Stone. “It’s unusual for me, and it’s a little unclear what the exact subject is, but we’re dealing with a sort of ghost, some archetypical type of idea of this woman. She’s ostensibly dead, no one else can see her, really” Sweet admits that the radio edit is a bit misleading. “The album version is actually is a bit weirder,” he says. “It has a longer, weirder intro to it, and it kinda breaks down in the middle of it.” The artier, more abstract style is a hallmark of the Modern Art album, which was influenced in part by the singer’s sideline gig selling his own hand-made ceramics on Etsy. “In the making of pottery, I really see when things get abstract or when things are more normal forms,” he says. “Part of the way I think I was looking at Modern Art in making it was trying to come at things in a little bit more abstract way but without becoming cold or minimalist, and keeping some kind of heart and feeling in it while still messing around with stuff. If you hear the whole ‘She Walks the Night,’ it’s like I was trying to make a song and tear it in half, or run chords backwards from where they’d been at first.” It may be a while before fans will get to see Sweet and his band perform his ambitious new material. “I think it would be difficult to play live, just to have everybody learn it,” says Sweet. “It’s especially challenging because we’re gonna tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Girl- friend this fall and we’re going to be playing the whole Girlfriend album.” Sweet is set to play the album through a few times at gigs in Spain before taking it out on the road in North America in October. “It’s quite a task learning the whole Girlfriend thing. I think in the beginning here, we’ll only play a couple songs from Modern Art, the easier ones.” - Reprinted from Rolling Stone, August 12 2011 See him 10/09: Atlanta, GA 10/19: Ann Arbor, MI 10/26: Alexandria, VA 10/10: Athens, GA 10/20: Kent, OH 10/27: Annapolis, MD on tour 10/11: Louisville, KY 10/21: Pittsburgh, PA 10/28: Wilmington, DE this fall... 10/13-14: Chicago, IL 10/22: Harrisburg, PA 10/29: Easton, MD 10/15: St. Louis, MO 10/23: Charleston, WV 10/31-11/2: New York, NY 10/16: Cincinnati, OH 10/25: Charlottesville, VA 11/3: Sellersville, PA 10/18: Indianapolis, IN The LA Times make their views of the new Nightwatchman album known World Wide “Wielding his guitar like a genre-vaporizing blowtorch, Tom Morello remains one of rock’s most distinctive instrumen- talists: His iconoclastic virtuosity brings a defining character to all his projects, from the revolutionary rap-rock of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave’s post-grunge to the live-band hip-hop of Street Sweeper Social Club. Morello’s solo persona, the Nightwatchman, stands apart from his other efforts, though -- placing him front and center as the singer, in addition to using folk as the musical bedrock in lieu of the innovative metallic crunch for which he’s famed. However, while World Wide Rebel Songs -- his third full-length under the Nightwatchman moniker -- reflects Morello’s expected radi- cal social consciousness in its lyrics, it also evocatively expands on his sonic fingerprint. Where previous Nightwatchman releases primarily featured Morello as an acoustic trouba- dour, his latest proffers more group interplay, at times recalling aspects of his other projects. “It Begins Tonight” bisects shamelessly heavy riffing with Bo Diddley beats, while “Union Town” hybridizes Morello’s trademark turntablist-influenced shredding with a chorus ready-made for protest marches; “Facing Mount Kenya,” meanwhile, balances personal introspection and political insight with sparse, atmospheric trip-hop. Surprisingly, the most appealing ele- ment here proves to be Morello’s voice -- a weary, Leonard Cohen-esque rasp that makes all the sloganeering seem oddly soothing. That human element is what makes World Wide Rebel Songs compelling, and ultimately cathartic: What Morello lacks in subtlety, he makes up for in visceral feeling.” - Reprinted from the Los Angeles Times, August 30 2011 Upcoming... 9/19: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds “If I Had A Gun,” Julian Velard “Love Again For The First Time,” Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa “Well, Well,” ... 10/11: Graffiti6 “Free” Listen to everything and find out more at www.rightarmresource.com as well as facebook.com/rightarmresource or twitter.com/rightarmjesse RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 9/7/11
