@Rough Trade]dundee – once famed for jute, jam and journalism is also home to the jangly pop melodies of the hazey janes. after the well-deserved praise and attention heaped on their eponymous mini-album in 2004, the scottish quartet escaped the caledonian rain and absconded to spain. the hazey janes‘ first full-length lp ‚hotel radio‘ was recorded at the studios of legendary spanish producer paco loco (josh rouse/golden smog) in cadiz a world away from dreich dundee and the dull tenement flats where the songs were conceived. fuelled by the unrelenting andalucian sun, the band expanded their sound with the addition of more pedal-steel guitar, viola, banjo and melodica. acknowledging both the past and the present, the resultant record is packed with life-affirming, driven pop (‚your enemy‘ / ‚don’t look away‘) and breezy americana (‚always there‘ / ’step into the country‘). swooping and soaring with trademark hazey janes harmonies, ‚hotel radio‘ still makes room for the melancholic melodies of this place is just not my kind and katie goes. some big names from the alt-country scene passed by the studios including gary louris (the jayhawks) who provided backing vocals (‚baby tell me‘) and sara lee guthrie who lent an ear. ‚hotel radio‘ was mixed by the esteemed john agnello (patti smith /dinosaur jr./the kills) and mastered by greg calbi in new york.[/QUOTE wrote:
