Weitere News zum Thema zweites Album (Alex Turner wurde vom NME interviewt):
The songs are very different from last time. For the first album we locked ourselves away in the middle of nowhere, whereas this time we’ve been out in the Smoke, going out and stuff. I think that’s maybe reflected in the songs a little bit.In terms of sound, a lot of the ones we’ve done so far are a bit full-on. A bit like ‚From The Ritz To The Rubble‘, ‚The View From The Afternoon‘, that sort of thing. We’ve tried to get proper rhythms – it seems like in rock there’s a lot of boring rhythms. We’ve tried to experiment – that’s a bit of a dangerous word, but we’ve tried to push on with that. We’d be in soundchecks and it would be, ‚Fucking hell, what’s that?‘ so we’d record it on a phone. We’ve ended up with breaks almost. I’ve always been into beats, we were into that before we were into The Strokes.
I don’t think the new stuff will shock people – I don’t think anybody expects us to do the same as the first album but with strings. That’s what bands do a lot of the time, isn’t it? We’re not old enough to do that yet! (Quelle: NME)
Die ein oder andere Textstelle kommt mir bekannt vor, macht für mich hier aber viel mehr Sinn.
Und hey, ich habe keine Angst mehr.
