Hurricane #1 - Think of the Sunshine

Die Liga der gewöhnlichen Gentlemen – „Arbeit ist ein Sechsbuchstabenwort“ – VÖ 27.11.2015

Fun und Gesellschaftskritik: Auf den ersten Blick Gegensätze. Aber, so der Volksmund, „Gegensätze ziehen sich an“. Dem Volk aufs Maul geschaut, haben die fünf Lads der Liga der gewöhnlichen Gentlemen und veröffentlichen mit „Arbeit ist ein Sechsbuchstabenwort“ einen ersten Song ihres neuen Albums „Rüttel mal am Käfig, die Affen sollen was machen!“ (VÖ 15.01.2016). Im patentierten Holzhammer-Soulsound rechnen die Gewöhnlichen mit des Deutschen zweitliebsten Kindes, nämlich der Arbeit, ab. 

Schade, dass jetzt Herbst ist, „Arbeit ist ein Sechsbuchstabenwort“ wäre ein perfekter Sommerhit geworden. Leider hat die Band getrödelt, denn ihrer Ansicht nach ist Arbeit ein ... ihr wisst schon.

Tourdaten:
28.12.2015 Hamburg – Knust
29.12.2015 Bremen – Lagerhaus
30.12.2015 Berlin – Bi Nuu

Die Liga der gewöhnlichen Gentlemen - Arbeit ist ein Sechsbuchstabenwort

Track is taken from the self-titled debut by Gary Olson (Ex-The Ladybug Transistor)

++++++

This album is a tale of two cities, or rather, two studios; one in Hayland, Norway and the other in Flatbush, Brooklyn and two brothers who came up with the idea making a record with indie rock wizard Gary Olson which now links the two locations.  Gary Olson is the lead singer, main songwriter and plays trumpet with the band Ladybug Transistor who have released five albums on Merge Records. He is also producer and engineer at Marlborough Farms studio deep in the heart of Flatbush Brooklyn. 

On the Norwegian side Ole Johannes Åleskjær has his studio, Tune-J in the bucolic countryside outside Oslo (and works as a lumberjack when not making amazing records). He and his brother Jorn Åleskjær met Gary many years ago when their band Loch Ness Mouse crossed paths with Ladybug Transistor on tour.

At one of these chance meetings Ole put forward the idea of a writing and recording collaboration between himself, his brother Jorn and Gary with the recording done both in Norway and Brooklyn. Over a period of eight years Gary would visit the Åleskjær brother’s barn studio in its idyllic setting near the Swedish border and do basic tracks on whatever songs the three had written. Gary would then take the recordings back to cosmopolitan Brooklyn where he would add vocals, horns and strings at his studio.  The recordings would then return to Norway for producer Ole to finish the tracks. By the end of 2019 this set of eleven songs had naturally blossomed into an album.

With Ole producing and playing guitar and Gary doing vocals and trumpet the album personnel was rounded out by Håvard Krogedal - bass, cello; Emil Nikolaisen  drums (both from Serena-Maneesh ); Joe McGinty (The Psychedelic Furs, Ryan Adams) string arrangements, piano and organ and Suzanne Nienaber  (Pale Lights) backing vocals. 

Although the initial idea was to do simple recordings Ladybug Transistor fans will no doubt be pleased to find Gary’s signature exultant trumpet sound, the luscious strings and gorgeous pop hooks so favored by that band present in plenty on this album.  The melodies are at once both delicate and strongly memorable and the lustrous production gives a sheen reminiscent of the best ‘70s commercial radio and ‘80s indie pop.

Fittingly the album cover photo depicts Gary on a decommissioned airfield in New York that is now a national park. There's a dreamy, overwhelming vastness on the old runway that was built in the 1920s. A lot of the original buildings still remain. You can feel the ghosts of the old pilots everywhere. Pioneer aviator Thor Solberg began the first successful flight from the U.S. to Norway from there in 1935. This album continues that tradition.

Gary Olson was asked how he’s like the album to be listened to. He reply went like this: “I’d suggest listening in a moving train facing the window. Close your eyes and feel the sunlight pass between the trees. Open your eyes slowly and realize you've missed your stop, repeat. “
