Gallon Drunk

The Road Gets Darker from Here

Following the tragic illness and death of their bassist Simon Wring, acclaimed British band Gallon Drunk return as a three piece with the dynamic new album. Recorded at Clouds Hills Recordings in Hamburg during the summer of 2011, produced by Johann Scheerer (who also produced Robots In Disguise, Faust, a.o.), the band bring the considerable power of their renowned live performances to the new longplayer. Featuring founder frontman and former Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds member James Johnston (vocals, organ, guitar, harmonica, piano, and bass), Terry Edwards (bass, saxophone and percussion) and Ian White (drums, percussion), the trio have refocused their utterly distinctive musical vision with a collection of impassioned songs, imbued with pure mania, despair and abandonment. At the state of the art analogue recording studio, Scheerer recorded the band playing the songs live, direct to two-inch tape. This gave a warmth, richness and depth of sound to the recording. Coupled with the band members' own recent experiences, playing and recording with the likes of Tom Waits, Lydia Lunch’s Big Sexy Noise, Faust, Nick Cave, and The Tindersticks, this brought an open minded freshness to the sessions. Make no mistake - Gallon Drunk are back!
