Hier noch einige weitere Infos, die Tracklist (u.a. hat er einige Midnight Choir – Songs noch einmal aufgenommen, darunter Painting By Matisse!!!) und das Cover:
MOUNTAINS ON THE MOON
RELEASE DATE: JANUARY 22, 2008
(PLAYGROUND MUSIC SCANDINAVIA)THE BRAND NEW ALBUM!!
COMING SOON!!
One of the candidates to next year´s most beautiful album will, without a doubt. be former Midnight Choir songsmith, Al Deloner´s brand new solo-effort „Mountains on the moon“. Recorded in the US, Germany, Norway & Slovenia, this slow burner has undertaken a journey to match that of the Norwegian National Drink; The Aquavit. Ballads, jazz, blues & soul; all thrown into a musical bag DeLoner can be proud to call his very own.Among the guest artists on the album are Chris Eckman & Carla Torgerson (The Walkabouts). The latter sharing vocals with DeLoner on the haunting „Over the ocean“. Other interesting facts about the album is the fact that DeLoner has chosen to re-record a few highlights from the Midnight Choir catalouge. Among these new interpretations we´ll get to hear an emotional „Long time ago“, a magical „Mercy of Maria“ a stark, personal account of „The ballad of Emma DeLoner“, and a playful „Painting by Matisse“. Mixed together with brand new material these re-recordings makes „Mountains on the moon“, perhaps, DeLoner´s finest solowork to date.
With 65 min. + „Mountains on the moon“ is an epic listening experience, well worth investigating for those seeking the real deal. Over the years, DeLoner has stayed remarkably true to his muse, and „Mountains on the moon“ is no exception, adding yet another chapter, to an already impressive book of sensual, moonlight serenades.
