Only last Friday, the highly anticipated first single, named JUST ANOTHER RAINBOW by supergroup-duo LIAM GALLAGHER and The Stone Roses‘ JOHN SQUIRE came out and today a remix is shared. 9 out of 10 remixes are lame and unnecessary. As much I like Gallagher and Squire also their remix stinks.
But there’s a good thing to it too. The artwork of the remix – via Bandcamp – is quite unusual for our kid. Gallagher is drawn in flamboyant colours and has a tie on, yes, a tie. He looks great.
In order to not miss a beat Turn Up The Volume scans the musical
horizon daily (doing it for years now, actually) to stay in touch with
all new things sonically great and shares the results on a weekly
basis.
TUTV: Expect a vicious bass/drums tandem, psychotic guitar fuel,
agitated vocals and a fiery explosion every time the crushing chorus
erupts. Razorblade fury.
TUTV: It’s freezing cold outside, but this feel-good, pithy and catchy earworm
takes me to a swimming pool in hot California while drinking a Piña Colada.
Band: MALL GIRL Who: Guitar pop trio from Oslo, Norway.
Single: EMO SHRED
Piece from their upcoming, 2nd album, named Pure Love, out on 26 January
TUTV: Yearning sentiments for all lovers among us. Emo Shred is a breezy dream pop tune that sounds like a previously unreleased track from 90s band The Sundays, fronted by the wonderful Harriet Wheeler.
TUTV: I’m quite sure that they drank lots of de-caffeine when
they wrote/recorded this relaxing musing. Imagine the soft moments of Boygenius and Angel Olsen. Press play and dream away.
The highly anticipated first single by supergroup-duo LIAM GALLAGHER and The Stone Roses‘ JOHN SQUIRE
is out today.
Squire: “To me the most obvious take on “Just Another Rainbow” is that it’s about disappointment, and the sentiment is that you never get what you really want. But
I don’t like to explain songs, I think that’s the privilege of the listener, it’s whatever
you want it to be. To me, it’s also one of the most uplifting tracks we’ve made together,
which is weird.”
Liam: “I think John’s a top songwriter. Everyone always bangs on about him as a guitarist,
but he’s a top songwriter too, man, no two ways about it as far as I’m concerned. There’s not enough of his music out there, whether it’s with the Roses or himself. It’s good to see him back writing songs and fucking good ones. The melodies are mega and then the guitars are a given. But I think even when you take all the fucking guitars off, you can play the songs all on acoustic and they’ll all still blow your mind.”
JUST ANOTHER RAINBOW is partly Oasis, partly Stone Roses. Liam
sings as Liam (who else?) and Squire does his psychedelic 6-string Stone Roses thing (think their 2nd and final LP). Certainly not the best
music since The Beatles‘ 1966 masterpiece Revolver as Gallagher claimed.
But I have it on repeat right now. Why? The collaboration
works and evokes those two legendary Manchester bands.
Our kid, former Oasis frontman LIAM GALLAGHER and Stone Roses
guitarist JOHN SQUIRE teamed up to make new music together.
Can’t wait to hear it.
The superstar duo canned an album and will drop the first single,
titled JUST ANOTHER RAINBOW, on January 5 with “more new music
to follow as the year unfolds.”
Liam:“The melodies are mega! Best album since Revolver.”
And this is the artwork for the single. Pretty lame, if you ask me.
