        Danger Mouse, Adele and Jack White join new '60s sound revival

        Facebook Twitter Email
        GRAMMY-winning producer Danger Mouse infuses soundtrack for “The Man In The High Castle” with a vintage vibe which is popping up all over - from Adele’s Album Of The Year-winning album 25 to White’s newly opened vinyl pressing plant

        Six-time GRAMMY-winning producer Danger Mouse, aka Brian Burton, headed home with another golden gramophone after the the 59th GRAMMY Awards. This year he earned Album Of The Year honors as a producer on Adele’s multi-GRAMMY-winning 25. His previous wins include a 2010 nod for Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical and a slew of multigenre best performance, album and song wins reaching back to 2007.

        In her tweet announcing the then-forthcoming album, Adele referenced her approach to the writing of 25 with a nod to the bittersweet nostalgia and subtle self-loss often felt amidst the struggle to navigate the transparent border crossing between the early and the late 20’s: "I'm making up with myself. Making up for lost time. ... I miss everything about my past, the good and the bad, but only because it won’t come back."

        Applied nostalgia is an increasingly common theme in contemporary projects and releases, perhaps speaking to a shared sense of navigating a similarly transitional time and space.

        Alongside his work on 25, Burton has been busy with projects of his own — most recently a forthcoming series of covers and reimagined arrangements of notable tracks from the early 1960s titled Resistance Radio. It is a conceptual project both inspired by, and tangentially in collaboration with, the Amazon Studios original series "The Man In The High Castle," which is based on the 1962 dystopian novella of the same name by Philip K. Dick. Artists signed on for Burton’s project include GRAMMY winners Beck and Norah Jones, and GRAMMY-nominated indie-rock band the Shins, among others.

        In a recent sit-down with NPR for a +1 edition of "All Things Considered," Burton discussed his approach to re-interpreting these '60s songs, framing the album conceptually as a fictional "pirate" radio station. "Based on the subject matter of the show, it worked. You could do a dark record, because it was a dark time. It's resistance radio ... so that's what helped us pick the songs."

        Burton will co-produce the album with Sam Cohen, the former Yellowbirds and Apollo Sunshine member behind some notable early releases on Burton's Columbia imprint label 30th Century. The production and arrangements on Resistance Radio perfectly match the bleak, dystopian vibe of "The Man In The High Castle," creating a complete musical period piece.

        While analysis of the album's dual service as a legitimate creative work and a practical piece of conceptual marketing for a TV show could fill an article of it's own, the album's place among the ongoing resurgence of the 1960s sound and increasing preference for the aesthetic warmth and feel of vinyl recordings within the music industry merits equal interest.

        GRAMMY winner Jack White's own Third Man Records opened its doors in February on a brand-new 10,000-square-foot vinyl pressing plant capable of churning out 5,000 records per hour and operating continuously 24/7 if demand requires. Reportedly, production pressing requests are already streaming in from artists and labels worldwide.

        In his recent speech at the 2017 Producers & Engineers Wing GRAMMY Week celebration, White expressed sentiments that mirrored Burton’s approach to Resistance Radio, saying simply "You let the music tell you what to do. You don’t tell the music what to do."

        Pilgrimage Festival co-founder & Better Than Ezra frontman Kevin Griffin shares excitement over the festival's latest lineup

        GRAMMYs
        Mar 27, 2018 - 6:16 pm

        Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival has officially announced its lineup for 2018, with the billing topped by multi-GRAMMY winners Jack White, Chris Stapleton, and GRAMMY winner and 2016 MusiCares Person Of The Year honoree Lionel Richie.

        Included in the lineup for 2018 are exciting names like Hozier, Bleachers, Brandi Carlile, Counting Crows, Valerie June, Keb' Mo', Caitlyn Smith, and many more.

        "We're all about showcasing Middle Tennessee and Nashville first," explains Pilgrimage co-founder Kevin Griffin.  "That means not only being an incubator for emerging talent on our smaller stages, but [also] embracing the bands who are just starting to happen on our middle card. And then obviously having the icons – the giants of the genre – who just happen to be from Nashville."

        And Nashville is quite well-represented on the festival billing, with both Stapleton and White claiming the iconic music mecca as their bases of operations, while Richie originally hails from Tuskegee, Ala. – "just a stone's throw away," as Griffin points out.

        "We get better every year," Griffin adds. And indeed the festival has grown by leaps and bounds in just four years – even doubling in size from Year Two to Year Three, thanks in part to a landmark booking of Justin Timberlake for its 2017 installment. "I think we try to distill what people want to see, and also make sure it's a very inclusive festival. When we're booking [the talent], it's always, 'Are we diverse enough? Are we representing all types of music and all type of backgrounds?' That's always our charge, and we feel really good about this year."

        In addition to co-founding Pilgrimage with friends and business partners Brandt Wood and Michael Whelan, Griffin is also a founding member and guitarist/vocalist for alternative rock band Better Than Ezra, who traditionally make an appearance in one of Pilgrimage's key evening slots.

        This year, however, Griffin plans to debut new music from his forthcoming solo record, due out next fall.

        "I've done this great album that Vance Powell is mixing," Griffin reveals. "Vance, as you know, has done tons of Jack White, tons of Chris Stapleton stuff. Awesome mixer, awesome dude. We're making some great music, and I can't wait for people to hear it."

        Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival will take place on Sept. 22 – 23 in Franklin, Tenn., in The Park at Harlinsdale outdoor venue. Tickets will go on-sale this Friday, March 30, at 10 a.m. CST, and include options for VIP ticketing and on-site camping.

        Cee Lo Green spoke candidly in a new interview with authoritative hip-hop blog DJ Booth about the prospect of a new Gnarls Barkley album sometime in 2018, calling his forthcoming solo mixtape Songbirds a "prequel" to help warm fans up and build anticipation for a third trip in to the studio with Danger Mouse and the resurrection of their GRAMMY-winning psychedelic soul project.

        "We have already started on a new [Gnarls Barkley] album," Green told DJ Booth, stirring excitement over the possibility of the first new Barkley-branded music since 2008's Best Alternative Music Album GRAMMY-nominated The Odd Couple. "We're halfway in and we have some overtures from the other projects that may not have stood the test of time, we don’t know yet."

        Green went on to hint that his collaborations with Danger Mouse have always been easily prolific, boasting the much of the recording efforts behind their two previous albums as Gnarls Barkley were finished in the time span of about a week. "That's pretty much all the time we had to do St. Elsewhere," he says. "We were doing [Gnarls Barkley] recreationally."

        Further details on the new album are still forthcoming, though Green did reveal that he and Danger Mouse will be getting together at the "top of the year" to wrap up production.

        Dec 12, 2017 - 5:34 pm

        GRAMMY winner and 2017 Recording Academy Producers & Engineers Wing honoree Jack White has finally resurfaced with details on his long-awaited third studio album, titled Boarding House Reach.

        By way of announcing the new album's title, White dropped a four-minute sonic mashup video titled "SERVINGS and PORTIONS from my BOARDING HOUSE REACH," ostensibly containing choice clippings and fragments from the forthcoming record.

        The video itself is a wild ride, but what's even more interesting is the breadth and depth of sonic palette that it displays — a tall statement when one considers such a musically diverse source as White.

        Even while switching effortlessly from moments of classic fuzz rock to balladic crooning, to an Akai MPC1000 tapping out crushed drum samples, to aggressively shaped bursts of static and harsh noise — at times reminiscent of the types of schizophrenic psychedelic stylings preferred by MadLib or Flying Lotus — the elements of the project still all come off as strangely  consistent, a testament to White's inimitable production aesthetic.

        Hinting that this album would be a departure of sorts, even for him, White commented back in November, "It's a bizarre one. I've just got to let it settle. I need to listen to it by myself. I haven't been able to listen to it by myself for a while."

        Details on an official release date for Boarding House Reach are still forthcoming.

        A new tradition began at the 45th GRAMMY Awards in 2003, when the curtain rose on an all-star lineup of musicians assembled to perform a special tribute to the late Joe Strummer of the Clash.

        Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Elvis Costello, No Doubt's Tony Kanal, and Steven Van Zandt joined forces for an unforgettable rendition of "London Calling".

        Whether it's the electric Strummer tribute, Adele honoring George Michael or Lady Gaga paying homage to David Bowie, these powerful performances in the 15 years since have served as a complement to the annual GRAMMY Awards In Memoriam segment, which serves as a moment of reflection for the artists, technicians, executives, and other music professionas who passed away during the prior year.
