Jimmy Eat World praat over nieuw album

Het nieuwe album van Jimmy Eat World heet Damage en zal op 11 juni worden uitgebracht. Frontman Jim Adkins heeft verteld dat het hoofdthema van dit album ‘adult breakup’ is. Hieronder kun je een fragment van het artikel lezen.

Adkins has described the new album, which follows 2010’s “Invented,” as “an adult break-up record,” which should absolutely excite longtime fans. Jimmy Eat World’s best songs (and most of their songs, period) thrive on feelings and sentimentality; led by single “I Will Steal You Back,” “Damage” certainly fits that bill. Musically, the single works in the good-guy rock groove the band has been exploring since 2004’s “Futures.” There’s also some acoustic exploration that plays off tracks like “Heart Is Hard to Find” from their last album.

“Nothing is less effective for me than when you stack happy on top of happy,” says Adkins of his tendency to reach for the heartstrings. “I just can’t have empathy for that type of song.”
