During promotion for the record, Robert Smith stated that it was inspired by the albums Kaleidoscope by Siouxsie and the Banshees and Dare by the Human League. He wanted the album to be eclectic with different styles and moods: "It reminds me of the Kaleidoscope album, the idea of having lots of different sounding things, different colours." This album marks the return of Simon Gallup in the group; he had performed and composed with Robert Smith and Lol Tolhurst on the dark trilogy Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography. Guitarist Porl Thompson, who had played guitar during the very early days of the band, and also played keyboards and saxophone during The Top tour, became an official member. Drummer Boris Williams, who had previously worked with Thompson Twins, finally joined the ensemble after playing with the band during the US leg of the 1984 tour. bit.ly

Happy 13th anniversary to this fifth album from Icelandic band Sigur Rós, released on this day in 2008.
On this day in 2008, the single Fake Empire was released from The National's fourth studio album. The song is a commentary on a generation lost to disillusion and apathy.
Vocalist Matt Berringer explained to The Quietus that it is about "where you can't deal with the reality of what's really going on, so let's just pretend that the world's full of bluebirds and ice skating." bit.ly Watch The National perform this song live at the Sydney Opera House: youtu.be

More punky Australian tunes, from housemates Amy Taylor, Bryce Wilson, Dec Martens, and Fergus Romer.
The band takes their name from the Australian slang for amyl nitrate. Amy Taylor told the BBC's Paul Glynn: "In Australia we call poppers Amyl. So you sniff it, it lasts for 30 seconds and then you have a headache – and that's what we're like!" bit.ly
Amyl and the Sniffers have live shows scheduled for June 6 at the Forum Copenhagen in Denmark, and on November 23 at the Electric Ballroom in London, UK: www.amylandthesniffers.com

Sampa The Great wrote: “The balancing act between expressing your art to the fullest and earning a living as an artist is real.”
“The song Freedom is about the compromises made while navigating this industry. It’s important to remember there are human beings behind the art and the music. It’s important for us to remember that ourselves, especially at times when purpose and wellness can take a back seat.”

This all-star project features Jason Cressey (Odesza/Monophonics) on trombone, Greg Kramer (Macklemore) on trombone, Gordon Brown on tenor sax, Skerik (Mike Clark/Fred Wesley/Charlie Hunter/Garage a Trois) on baritone sax, Jimmy James (Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio) on guitar, Bryant Moore on bass, David McGraw (formerly Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio) on drums, and Ivan Galvez on percussion.
What started as a Sunday jam session with James, Moore, and McGraw back in 2014 has snowballed into both an established eight-piece band and a showcase for the best of the Seattle music scene. Sunday Afternoon will mark the group's first new album since their 2017 debut, Famous Last Words. "This is the song I want to hear the next time I’m a getaway driver in a car chase," tenor saxophonist Gordon Brown confirms. Adds Greg Kramer, "This is too fast, who wrote this?!"
"'Objects (in Mirror) got its start long before it made its way onto Sunday Afternoon," Jason Cressey explains. "The tune was originally written and recorded by David [McGraw], Bryant [Moore], and Jimmy [James] in July of 2015 during a rhythm section rehearsal. Years later, Gordon Brown and I found the tune chilling in a Dropbox folder and began adding horn parts to fit in and around the already written bones of the tune."
He adds, "The underlying vibe of 'Objects in Mirror' represents the signature sound of the True Loves: an unrelenting rhythm section driving the groove forward accompanied by a tight, fire breathing horn section." bit.ly
"Cold As Weiss" is the first tune from DLO3 featuring new drummer Dan Weiss. The group describes the song as, “feel good music, it's a booty-shake blend of 1960s soul-jazz; slinky New Orleans funk; vintage instrumental soul; and a splash of acid-rock guitar."
