men kan vel ikke bare sitte i sweetspot med kaffen hele dagen, kanskje denne comebackskiva får meg opp på beina?
Oblivians - Desperation (2013)
hmmmm
Det her lukter en jobb for R&S, vi er vel ikke fornøyde med band på plate før de står på en scene "nær deg", er vi vel?
Takk for tips. Har sovet i timen skjønner jeg, og en mer enn plausibel forklaring til hvorfor Reigning Sound ikke er bråaktuelle for sin livesuksess i Oslo sist høst.
vaskeseddelen:
Memphis punk rockers Oblivians disbanded way back in the ’90s, releasing their most recent album, ..Play 9 Songs with Mr. Quintron, way back in 1997.
Having recently reformed, the band release their long-awaited fourth album on May 28 with Desperation via In the Red Records.
These 14 songs reportedly channel the band’s classic sound and draw on ’50s rock’n'roll and Memphis soul. They incorporate the band’s usual mix of garage rock, blues and punk, and the record also includes a cover of a Cajun zydeco tune.
The band’s own Greg Cartwright (aka Greg Oblivian) explained the reunion with the following statement: “Between our last record as a band in ’97 and now, a lot of water has passed below that bridge. We three went our own ways after that and pursued our own musical goals. Personally, I often missed the dynamic that Jack and Eric offered to my songwriting. Almost as much as I missed being given carte blanche to add a thing or two to theirs. I’ve played with lots of great musicians in the interim but needless to say, it’s a hard itch to scratch. The dynamic between us was a singular thing. So, over the years as we would occasionally reunite for a festival or special occasion, the idea began to grow in the back of my mind — the idea of making a new record. I mean, if you’re going to keep playing as a band eventually you’ll want new songs to play. Because as much as we enjoyed playing together the thing I missed the most was creating together. So that’s what we did.”
