Well, dang. Johnny Jewel continues to be the busiest man of 2012, just posting a “mixed collage” of eight outtakes from Chromatics’ Kill For Love sessions on soundcloud. Meanwhile, we’re still waiting with bated breath for the Italians Do It Better label compilation, After Dark 2, which we’ve heard only a couple samples from thus far. Here’s what Jewel had to say about the outtakes:
“Jet lagged & buzzing from Friday’s show in Paris, I couldn’t sleep…so I stayed up all night with Oko talking about color based dreams while blending these tracks together. Since the album came out, a lot of people on the road have been telling us they are curious to hear some of the unreleased music from the Kill For Lovesessions…Recorded November 2009 through December 2011, these songs were all mixed between 4 & 6 a.m. After hours of tracking at the studio in Montreal, we’d clear the channels on the mixer, open a bottle of wine, & feel around in the dark…working our way through the atmospheric elements & peeling back layers of rhythm…throwing the songs into the abstract pile & playing them while driving home in the snow. In Amsterdam right now trying to upload it from the hotel. Fingers crossed…
This is a lullaby for you…
Sweet Dreams!
