Leif Vollebekk annoncerer nyt album – New Ways er ude 1. november
I dag kan canadiske Leif Vollebekk annoncere sit nye, længeventede album New Ways, der udkommer den 1. november 2019 på Secret City Records / Playground Music i Norden. New Ways følger op på det anmelderroste og Polaris Music Prize-nominerede album Twin Soltitude.
Det kommende album, der er indspillet i Capitol Studios i Los Angeles og i Studio Breakglass i Montreal, er lyden af begær, der udfolder sig. For to år siden begyndte Leif Vollebekks liv at udvikle sig hurtigt og sangskriveren ville ikke glemme de ting der skete.
“I often think of Leonard Cohen’s line, ‘I hope you’re keeping some kind of record. So I did.” fortæller Vollebekk. Disse registreringer er blevet til albummet New Ways, der handler om forandring og at engarere sig, at røre og at blive rørt.
“Anything that I wouldn’t ever want to tell anyone—I just put it on the record,” røber Vollebekk.
Første single - ’Hot Tears’ – fra det kommende album, udkommer i dag med en tilhørende musikvideo. Videoen er instrueret af vennen og samarbejdspartneren Kaveh Nabatian. Leif Vollebekk siger om ’Hot Tears’: “is a song that was written when my senses were much more focused and I saw colours much more vividly. The sky often looked like it could have easily been pulled from scenes of [Terrence Malick’s] The Tree of Life. It was the last song I wrote for the record. It was all recorded live: vocals, drums and piano. I wanted this song to sound as hot and rough as possible and make the lyrics fight their way through”.
