  • While Crafting Songs for the Fray's Third Album
    THE SHINS Album: „Port Of Morrow“ (VÖ 16.3.2012) Drei Alben in zehn Jahren - The Shins gehören ganz offensichtlich nicht zu jenen Bands, die ihre Umwelt mit Veröffentlichen zuspammen. Mit einer Wartezeit von fünf (!) Jahren, die seit dem Grammy-nominierten Lonyplayer „Wincing The Night Away“ ins Land gegangen sind, wurde die Geduld ihrer zahlreichen Fans diesmal allerdings auf eine ziemlich harte Probe gestellt. Ein wenig Trost spendete in der Zwischenzeit u.a. das Broken Bells-Debütalbum, das Sänger und Songwriter James Mercer zusammen mit dem Musiker und Produzenten Danger Mouse aufnahm. Nun steht der Erscheinungstermin des vierten Shins-Albums endlich fest: „Port Of Morrow“ wird hierzulande ab dem 16. März erhältlich sein. Die zehn Songs des Album, darunter die Vorabsingle „Simple Song“, entstanden im vergangenen Jahr in Los Angeles und Portland unter der Regie von Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Peaches, P!nk, The Flaming Lips, Marina And The Diamonds u.a.), der zu einigen Stücken auch Keyboards, Gitarre und Bass beisteuerte. Gemischt wurde „Port Of Morrow“ von Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party etc.). Wie gewohnt wurden alle Songs des Albums von James Mercer geschrieben, der neben Gitarre und Gesang auch an Steelgitarre, Percussion und Glockenspiel zu hören ist. Außerdem wirkten Joe Plummer, Janet Weiss, Dave Hernandez, Marty Crandall, Eric D. Johnson, Ron Lewis und Nik Freitas an den Aufnahmen mit. Das Coverartwork stammt von Jacob Escobedo, zu dessen Klientel in den vergangenen Jahren u.a. Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells, Vampire Weekend und R. Kelly zählten. Die ersten Konzerte im Rahmen der Veröffentlichung von „Port Of Morrow“ geben The Shins im April 2012 in den USA (13.04.

By Daniel Spiller Contributing Writer Ben Affleck, just when I thought you couldn’t get any dumber, you go and do something like this… Affleck And totally redeem yourself! But seriously, Dumb and Dumber quotes aside, Ben Affleck’s directo- rial debut Gone Baby Gone is good enough to make you forget about his debuts participation in duds like Daredevil and Gigli. He commands the film as though it is already second nature to him. Like last year’s winner-of-all-that-is-good The Departed, Gone Baby Gone takes place in Boston. Patrick (Casey Affleck), along with his Gone girlfriend Angie (Michelle Monaghan), is a private investigator who is hired by the family of a young girl who has gone missing. Patrick has strong ties with the neighborhood locals, and thus an advantage over Baby the regular police when it comes to obtaining information. But the more Patrick discovers, the less he understands, and what constitutes morality takes hold as the central theme. So on paper, Gone Baby Gone looks just like an old-fashioned Gone detective story, and in a way, it is. It doesn’t do anything gimmicky or flashy; it just tells a straightforward narrative.
