Product Information

“This album was recorded in two relatively short days this past September 2010 in Nashville, Tennessee. All first takes.

We wrote the music for the songs in Paley’s apartment in Brooklyn over three afternoons when Francis was in New York for a three day run at Joe’s Pub. After which we each took half of the songs to finish off with lyrics, and Francis went off to meet what he sometimes likes to call “the old band” for another tour.

A few days later, we were recording at Jon Tiven’s studio in Nashville. We each sang lead on the songs we wrote lyrics for and sang backup on the others. We worked fast. Francis had Pixies shows each evening, so we had a curfew. Paley recalls finishing the lyrics to one tune literally a minute before cutting the vocal. The two of us on guitars with legendary Muscle Shoals players David Hood on bass and Spooner Oldham on piano. Damn, those guys are good.

Hope you like it. Hope you dig the vibe.”

Rezensionen

,,Und wenn man überhört, dass Paley in seinen Texten mit einem doch arg kleinen Wortschatz auskommt, immer wieder ,,blue" auf ,,you" und ,,through", ,,eyes" auf ,,lies" reimt, kann man mit dieser gemeinen Platte Spaß haben." (Rolling Stone, September 2011)

,,Musik aus dem Bauch – einfach (und) genial!" (Good Times, Oktober / November 2011)

,,So glänzen die zehn Stücke mit Anleihen bei Beach Boys, Beatles, Johnny Cash, New York Dolls, Lou Reed und Tom Waits. Dazu kommen grandioser Wechselgesang, ein nettes Paradoxon aus fröhlichen Klängen und nihilistischen Texten (,,Ugly Life") sowie die Erkenntnis, dass Black Francis eben nur dann richtig gut ist, wenn er im Team agiert." (musikexpress, Oktober 2011)
