The Almost praat over nieuw album

De Amerikaanse rockers van The Almost hebben in een recent interview meer verteld over hun nieuwe album. Het vijftal heeft meer dan een jaar gewerkt aan het derde studioalbum, dat de naam The Fear Inside Our Bones draagt. Frontman Aaron Gillespie legde onder meer uit waarom de band voor het eerst samenwerkte met een andere producer en vertelde wat zijn favoriete nummer van het album is. Hieronder kun je een fragment van bovengenoemd interview lezen.

Fear Inside Our Bones was the first album that The Almost recorded without Aaron Sprinkle as a producer. Would you say that it took somewhat of a leap of faith to record with Marshall Altman?
No. I mean, I love his records and I kind of want to go back and do a record with Aaron again. After you’ve used a producer for a certain amount of time, you should switch just to– You know, it’s like going to the same restaurant over and over again, and getting the same thing. Every once in a while, you kind of want to get something different just to try it. You know what I mean? So that’s what we did.

Would you say that recording the album in less than four days was stressful?
No, it was amazing. It felt like it should. You know? Like, in your room with your friends and you’re playing rock and roll and it just happens. I think that’s the way it should be.

We rehearsed too. Like, because of the way we did it [the recording], we did it live. So we rehearsed for weeks in the same town that we were doing the record in. So we rented a place that was down the street from the studio and just rehearsed, rehearsed, and rehearsed. It was really good.

Gotcha. How long were you guys working on this album, as far as writing goes?
A year.

Name one of your favorite songs off of The Fear Inside Our Bones, and why.
This song called “Ghost”. It’s just like straight up rock and roll. It just came out a couple days ago. It was like the most rock and roll thing I’ve ever done. [There’s] like no sub-genres, it’s just rock and roll.

The Fear Inside Our Bones komt 16 april uit.
