Das war wirklich geil. Drei große Leinwände in der Queen Elizabeth Hall, ein zusätzlicher Chor, das komplette Album, eine neue dritte Version von "Sunglasses", noch einmal den "Bread Song", "Science Fair" klang nie so gut und mein heimlicher Wunsch wurde auch erfüllt, die erste wirklich gute Live-Aufnahme von "Basketball Shoes" und damit zum Schluss 13 Minuten Gänsehaut. Ich liebe diesen Song. Am Anfang gab's mit "Mark's Theme" ein Tribut an einen verstorbenen Onkel.
Tickets könnt ihr auch auch jetzt noch kaufen, glaube ich. Das gibt's dann im Re-Live noch bei YouTube.
Ich hab' aber auch ein Album daraus gemacht, für Notfälle.
ZitatToday, the band share a new version of “Track X” entitled "Track X (The Guest)", the genesis from which the album highlight would later develop and a track that Isaac Wood first performed solo under the name “The Guest”, pre-BC,NR.
Stripped right back to front-man Isaac's stark lyrics and an acoustic guitar, it's a tender take on personal experience and a reminder of the creative dynamics within the group, how sparse beginnings can grow into something ever-expansive and different entirely.
Isaac had the following to say about the song:
“This version is where the lyrics for "Track X" originally came from. It’s an old story, with some simple guitar playing and has the extra lyrics in the chorus. It's "The Guest" version, written about 2 years ago in this format and we thought it would make for a good accomplice to the album.”
Morgen wird Album 2 endlich angekündigt. Zu wissen, dass da bald eine Studio-Version von "Basketball Shoes" wartet, ist der Wahnsinn (Freude auch über "Snowglobes", "Bread Song" oder "Good Will Hunting").
Dier hier sollten auch drauf sein bzw. sind Kandidaten, sollte an keinem der Titel etwas geändert worden sein, was die Setlists gerade aber nicht hergeben:
Mark's Theme Concorde For the Evening The Place Where He Inserted the Blade Chaos Space Marine
01_ Intro 02_ Chaos Space Marine 03_ Concorde 04_ Bread Song 05_ Good Will Hunting 06_ Haldern 07_ Mark's Theme 08_ The Place Where He Inserted The Blade 09_ Snow Globes 10_ Basketball Shoes

"For The Evening" heißt jetzt Haldern <3
Gleich kommt die erste Single: "Chaos Space Marine".
Zitatblack country, new road return today with the news that their second album, “ants from up there”, will land on february 4th on ninja tune.
following on almost exactly a year to the day from the release of their acclaimed debut “for the first time”, the band have harnessed the momentum from that record and run full pelt into their second, with “ants from up there” managing to strike a skilful balance between feeling like a bold stylistic overhaul of what came before, as well as a natural progression. released alongside the announcement the band (lewis evans, may kershaw, charlie wayne, luke mark, isaac wood, tyler hyde and georgia ellery) have also today shared the first single from the album, ‘chaos space marine’, a track that has already become a live favourite with fans since its first public airings earlier this year - combining sprightly violin, rhythmic piano, and stabs of saxophone to create something infectiously fluid that builds to a rousing crescendo. it’s a track that frontman isaac wood calls “the best song we’ve ever written.” it’s a chaotic yet coherent creation that ricochets around unpredictably but also seamlessly. “we threw in every idea anyone had with that song,” says wood. “so the making of it was a really fast, whimsical approach - like throwing all the shit at the wall and just letting everything stick.”
their debut “for the first time” is a certain 2021 album of the year, having received ecstatic reviews from critics and fans alike as well as being shortlisted for the prestigious mercury music prize. released in february to extensive, global, critical support - perhaps best summed up by the times who wrote in their 5/5 review that they were "the most exciting band of 2021" and the observer who called their record "one of the best albums of the year" - the album made a significant dent on the uk albums chart where it landed at #4 in its first week, a remarkable achievement for a largely experimental debut record. the album also reached #1 on any decent music, #2 at album of the year and sat at #1 on rate your music for several weeks, remaining the record to generate the most fan reviews and site discussion there this year. black country, new road were also declared artist of the week and album of the week by the observer, the line of best fit and stereogum, and saw features, including covers and reviews, from the likes of mojo, npr, crack, uncut, the quietus, pitchfork, the fader, loud & quiet, the face, paste, the needle drop, diy, nme, clash, so young, dork and more. with “for the first time” the band melded klezmer, post-rock, indie and an often intense spoken word delivery. on “ants from up there” they have expanded on this unique concoction to create a singular sonic middle ground that traverses classical minimalism, indie-folk, pop, alt rock and a distinct tone that is already unique to the band.
recorded at chale abbey studios, isle of wight, across the summer with the band’s long-term live engineer sergio maschetzko, it’s also an album that comes loaded with a deep-rooted conviction in the end result. “we were just so hyped the whole time,” says hyde. “it was such a pleasure to make. i've kind of accepted that this might be the best thing that i'm ever part of for the rest of my life. and that's fine.” black country, new road's live performances have already gained legendary status from fans and has seen them labelled "one of the uk's best live bands" by the guardian. after the success of their livestream direct from london’s queen elizabeth hall, southbank centre, stand-out performances at sxsw and the bbc 6 music festival, and following a sold-out uk tour this summer, high-profile festival appearances, and a 43 date uk & eu tour to follow in the autumn with sold out us dates next year, the london-based seven-piece today announce further uk & ie dates in support of the album for april 2022, preceded by their biggest london headliner to date at the roundhouse in february.
Es gibt übrigens auch eine 4LP-Version mit dem kompletten Elizabeth-Hall-Konzert (gerade bestellt)
P.S. Die restlichen Europa-Konzerte wurden leider abgesagt. Köln war noch eines der letzten, das stattgefunden hat (ich hätte endgültig alles abgerissen).
