4° album

Belle news, sono contenta del ritorno alla produzione di Abrahms e spero proprio che Slow Attack sia la premessa di un brillante percorso da solista. Vedremo vedremo!

La notizia mi fa molto piacere!

'Unfinished but well on the way is the Brett Anderson record. We’ve spent some time writing songs over the edited improvisations recorded in January, and frankly both of us have that slightly naughty feeling you get when you’re trying not to be too pleased with yourself. It is going to be amazing, the songs are the most powerful and direct he’s written since Suede and the album has a sound all its own. There is a distinct drive and rawness at the heart of the record that will render overdub-stage dithering obsolete. Unfortunately I have to stop work on it now for a month or so, but I know Brett will be hard at work in my absence.' (Leo Abrahams)

“some nebulous news for you regarding the next opus. we’ve reached the next phase and the songs are pouring out like honey . we spent the last couple of weeks recording vocals and doing monitor mixes and have two good handfuls of tracks pretty much finished bar fine tuning and mixing. it’s going to be a really dynamic record… everything was pretty much played live and you can really feel the energy. favourite tracks?… there’s this huge, anthemic beast called ‘Unsung’, a pounding kind of Krautrock thing called ‘Brittle Heart’ , a damaged and desperate tale of entanglement and obsession called ‘ This Must Be Where it Ends’ and a bitter -sweet pop song called ‘ Crash About to Happen’ which reminds me of 1980’s indie. we were listening to lots of PIL and Siouxsie when we were recording it so it’s not surprising that the album has some of those flavours, although as i’d hope you’d expect it still sounds very much like me. for better of for worse i’m kind of trapped within myself and my own style and i suppose my quest is to slowly whittle my work down into the best version of that that i can.
working with Leo has again been a pleasure and a fantastic learning experience for me. he’ll never take the easy option when making music and he’s always looking for a twist . it’s a commendable attitude to have in the powder-puff music industry and one which means that his work is always challenging and interesting. together i think we’re making something special and i can’t wait for people to hear it.”

che figo.

Poco fa ho visto che su youtube è stata postata la canzone Unsung anticipazione del 4° album di Brett

Eccola.

Che devo aggiungere? Confermo la prima impressione, la canzone migliore che abbia fatto da solista per me (figuriamoci quando sarà mixata). Letteralmente da mozzare il fiato.

Bella canzone, ma nei precedenti lavori ce ne sono di emozionanti...anche se pochine

Eh sì, neanche io sono una gran fan dei primi due album. Ma Slow Attack è strabiliante, sia a livello vocale (Brett non aveva una voce così in forma da anni) che di atmosfere e di testi. Contiene momenti veramente ad alta intensità emotiva, uno su tutti penso sia Ashes of Us. Ma il crescendo di Unsung mi ha rapito il cuore e poi

Amaro come una canzone d'amore
che ritorna lungo tutto il corso della vita,
Sì, la vita è una canzone d'amore non intonata.

Mi uccide.

Che dire aspettiamo con trepidazione il nuovo lavoro!

Slow Attack mi ha strabiliato dopo i primi due lavori decisamente sottotono, ma questi nuovi brani sono veramente strabilianti. Non vedo l'ora che esca questa ultima fatica! Piuttosto si sa più o meno quando dovrebbe uscire?
