  • 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.

  • NME Headliners Glasvegas | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives NME Headliners Glasvegas Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists NME Headliners Glasvegas By Tom Killingbeck, Music Editor (2009/10) Tuesday 10 March 2009 From Scotland to Japan: Tom Killingbeck interviews NME Headliners Glasvegas. Glasvegas are not your typical NME hype band. For starters, they are not dressed in day-glo fluorescence, rejecting the Nathan Barley look for Johnny Cash style black. They also have very little in common with the other bands on the bill of this year’s NME tour – their shoegazing anthems clashing with the music of Florence and the Machine (Kate Bush crossed with Glam Rock) and Friendly Fires (Ass-wiggling white boy electro). When most people think of the band the words ‘depressing’, ‘morbid’ and ‘monochrome’ come to mind, but, walking aboard a tourbus strewn with the remains of last night’s party and Guitar Hero axes, it seems like they’re more fun than you’d expect. Bassist Paul Donoghue does not seem surprised that his band, who just two years ago were unheard of, thrashing about with a drum machine in Glasgow’s East End, have been chosen to headline this sell-out tour. “Pretty much since we did the first seven inch we knew we had a chance of doing really well”, he admits. The band’s MySpace demos were a huge success, and having caught the attention of Creation Records boss Alan McGee, early versions of ‘Daddy’s Gone’ and ‘It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry’, took the indie scene by storm.
