El regreso de Roddy Frame

El regreso de Roddy Frame

Esto publica la web killermoonstreet.com (aunque en absoluto pienso que esto sea "a masterpiece". Es un rollazo de disco, aunque tiene una buena: "Day of reckoning", que es el single)

Roddy’s newest CD, Western Skies on Redemption Records, is set to be released on Monday, May 1st. It features ten new songs, plus a new version of the title track which Roddy co-wrote with Lazyboy in 2004. Fans who loved the wholly acoustic Surf CD will not be disappointed by Western Skies. It has the best elements of his entire body of work, even going back to his jazz lounge Postcard days. It’s got the unpredictability of Stray and the intimacy of Surf... but with a subtle dark edge and slightly more polish. It’s warm and organic with arrangements that are adequately sparse. A few tracks are entirely acoustic, others have some percussion, piano and double-bass sprinkled in. Because each song on it is so completely different from the next, fans will likely have a difficult time agreeing on a favorite track. It is, simply, a masterpiece.

Advance previews of tracks from the new album have been (and will be) heard and made available in a number of places. ’Day of Reckoning’, which will likely be the album’s first single, has already started getting some airplay on BBC Radio. A streaming preview of ’The Coast’ can be found on Redemption’s My Space page. Uncut Magazine will feature ’Shore Song’ and Word Magazine will include ’Marble Arch’ on covermount CDs of their first-week May issues. And, of course, live, pre-album recordings of ’Rock God’ and ’Dry Land’ can be heard on Roddy’s new Live at Ronnie Scott’s CD which can be purchased on his official web site.
