"I had one day in a NYC studio to start a song from scratch, with Tunji in the room. I knew him because one of my dancers was listening to "For us" on tour - what a striking song. I thought : even though we have different lives, we both write about feeling lonely, about watching everything from this weird angle - when you feel oddly out of the picture. Anger came to me as something I could try to write about - articulating it is probably the first step towards action. No Harm Is Done is a picture of the moment before : before something happens, before we choose in which fight we want to engage. But for now, our hands are just slowly raising - it's a warning for what's about to come. After that, everything came quickly : the melody, the rhythm, the colour of it all."

J'avais une journée de studio à New-York, une journée pour écrire une chanson, dans la même pièce que Tunji - dont je connaissais le travail car un de mes danseurs hochait souvent de la tête sur "For us". De son écriture, j'avais retenu la mélancolie, le romantisme, même - l'extrême solitude, le sentiment de n'appartenir à rien, et de ne jamais se relier. C'est quelque chose que je peux comprendre - cette colère, cette frustration. No harm is done est ce moment suspendu, juste avant que quelque chose se passe. Le muscle se tend, l'oeil est sévère, la main se lève - et c'est ensuite qu'il faut choisir le combat à mener, le risque à prendre. C'est peut-être la première fois que je m'autorise à être menaçante, et c'est sans doute parce que je n'ai plus vraiment peur de prendre position…

No Harm Is Done (feat. Tunji Ige)

Invisible Riverside

From 2000 through 2008, Ryan Adams fans and Whiskeytown holdovers could enjoy a new album from the Jacksonville, NC native every year (and two in 2005). After a slight break, Adams and his band The Cardinals is back with III/IV. An ambitious double album of previously unreleased material, it features songs captured during the same six month's worth of recording sessions that produced 2007’s winning Easy Tiger. Song moods range from spirited (“Ultraviolet Light”) and reassured (“Happy Birthday”) to wistfully observational (“The Crystal Skull”) and melodic (“Death and Rats”). On “Kisses Start Wars,” Adams and his bandmates demonstrate that their swagger dues are fully paid, while “Icebreaker” may very well get both heads banging and hips swinging.
