Das erste Soloalbum von Grant Hart im 21. Jahrhundert ist eins der besten Dinge, die er jemals gemacht hat. Der ehemalige Hüsker Dü Drummer und Co-Songwriter hat mit den verschiedensten Musikern von Godspeed You Black Emperor und Silver MT. Zion zusammengearbeitet und in Montreal und Minneapolis sein neuestes Werk "Hot Wax" aufgenommen.

Grant: "Der Song "Narcissus, Narcissus" ist mein erste Versuch, griechische Mythologie und amerikanischen Rockabilly zu vereinen. Dadurch, dass ich diese Einflüsse mit der Atmosphäre eines Eiswagens verbunden habe, habe ich den Stil gefunden, der diese Ära meiner Karriere kennzeichnet. "You're The Reflection Of The Moon On The Water" ist der erdigste Rock'n'Roll Song, den ich jemals geschrieben habe. Sein Stil lehnt sich an Patti Smith an, die ich verehre. Die Inspiration für den Song fand ich in einem Kommentar, den ein Mönch während der Auswahl des nächsten Panchen Lhama, einem Kandidaten an den Kopf warf: 'er ist das Abbild des Mondes auf dem Wasser, aber er ist nicht der Mond."

Product Information

Grant Hart's first solo album of the 21st century is one of the best things he has ever done. The former Husker Du drummer and co-songwriter worked with the diverse cast of musicians from Godspeed You Black Emperor and Silver Mt. Zion on this new CD, Hot Wax, recorded in Montreal and Minneapolis. Grant on some of the some of the songs: the song "Narcissus, Narcissus" is my first attempt at combining ancient Greek mythology and American rock-a-billy. By merging those influences with an ice cream truck atmosphere I think I have found a style that defines this period of my career. "You're the Reflection of the Moon on the Water" is one of the most organic rock and roll songs that I have ever written. It's style owes a lot to my devotion for patti smith. It was inspired by a comment made by a monk during the selection process to find the next Panchen Lhama, who said of one candidate, "he is the reflection of the moon on the water but he is not the moon."
