Fällt in die Rubrik „Erwartungen“. Abgesehen von den durchweg brillanten Veröffentlichungen, die wir von dem in Montreal (oder Vancouver?) lebenden, ursprünglich aus Taiwan stammenden Alex Zhang Hungtai schon kennen („Golden Desert Sun“), geistern schon seit einiger Zeit Tracks durch das Netz, die Vorfreude aufkommen lassen auf das folgende Lo-Fi-Album von ihm, das offiziell Ende März erscheinen soll:
Dirty Beaches – Badlands (Label: Zoo Music, Release: 29.03.2011)

< < The concept behind "Badlands" is about a man who is possessed by the road. My mother used to say to me: "You walk at night often enough, sooner or later you'll run into a ghost." I think its very true, as the devil comes in all forms. Just here to fuck your shit up. Side A will be all bangers, with songs about leaving and being chased on the road and driving a burning car into oblivion. Side B will be ballads and dirges laced with murder and lament. Expect similar fidelity as "Golden Desert Sun" and "Night City" recordings. I am looking into upgrading my recording gear as soon as them paychecks come in, so to deliver a better quality product to the listeners. But as of now, its budget home recordings. >>
