Long-Awaited 2016 Album on Vinyl LP!
Influential band The Jayhawks have announced the April 29 release of their long-awaited new album Paging Mr. Proust (Thirty Tigers). The 11-song new album finds the 2016 Jayhawks still remain one of Americas foremost rock bands: based around leader Gary Louris gift for melody that has made them such a respected and seminal group for almost three decades.
Paging Mr. Proust features the long-time core of the Jayhawks: Gary Louris (lead vox/guitars), Marc Perlman (bass), Tim OReagan (drums/vox), and Karen Grotberg (keyboards/vox). Paging Mr. Proust was co-produced by Louris, REMs Peter Buck and Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket) and recorded at Martines Flora Recording & Playback in Portland, OR. From the jangle of album opener Quiet Corners & Empty Spaces to the trademark harmonies of Isabels Daughter to the more pensive Lover Of The Sun, it is clear that The Jayhawks power remains undiminished from their initial national impact, 1992s Hollywood Town Hall.
Other tracks such as the sludgy rocker Lost The Summer, the kraut-rock groove of Ace and the taut minimalism of Comeback Kids bring new sounds to the palette. Leaving The Monsters Behind features a trademark vocal turn special guest Mike Mills. We worked harder in pre-production than any previous Jayhawks record, says Louris, having demoed most of the songs in his home studio before extensive workshopping with the band, and eventually recording in the hospitable confines of Martines studio.
"What's new is a lush, unhurried, and at times positively trippy sound that feels at once late-50s classic and "tomorrowland" modern. I felt as though I were poolside in Palm Springs during some indeterminate decade, surrounded by architecture and people and topography that are paradox of casual cool and calculated precision." - Karen Bells, The Absolute Sound, 4/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics
