Description: | 'Open Door Policy' ist das achte Full-Length-Studioalbum von The Hold Steady und der Nachfolger des 2019
erschienenen 'Thrashing Thru The Passion'.
Produziert von Josh Kaufman (The National, Hiss Golden Messenger, Josh Ritter), zeigt sich das
6-köpfige Line-Up, was Craig Finn als "die beste Band, die wir je waren" beschreibt, auf dieser
neuen Veröffentlichung einmal mehr in Höchstform, The Hold Steady sind: Bobby Drake
(Schlagzeug), Craig Finn (Gesang), Tad Kubler (Gitarre, Gesang), Franz Nicolay (Keyboards),
Galen Polivka (Bass), und Steve Selvidge (Gitarre, Gesang). - "We recorded Open Door Policy in two different sessions in the back half of 2019. Once again we teamed with producer Josh Kaufman and engineer Dan Goodwin, this time at the Clubhouse studio in upstate NY. Our intention was to create an album that worked as a grand piece, rather than a collection of songs. 2019 was an active year for The Hold Steady - our writing was consistent, and new songs were coming in pretty regularly. The recording process was creative, open and fun. "We were pretty much done with the record by the time we played a few of the new songs in London the first week of March 2020, as the unease of the pandemic was setting in. Not long after we got back from London, NYC shut down and we began to see our 2020 shows postponed. Over the next months, it became obvious that timing this album's release to specific weekend celebrations wouldn't be a possibility in the near future. But we were still excited to share it. "The songs on Open Door Policy are about power, wealth, and mental health. They're about technology, occupation, consumerism, freedom, fandom and escape. And although the album was written and recorded in 2019, the themes of this record seem to be underscored and highlighted by this year of virus and quarantine." - Craig Finn |
