MAKERS
STRANGEST PARADE (SUB POP)
Sub Pop is proud to present the latest evolution in THE MAKERS' saga with this, the band's 7th full-length, "Strangest Parade".
Splitting the recording between Vancouver and Seattle, and working with Grammy-nominee Kurt Bloch, this is THE MAKERS laid bare.
"Strangest Parade" exposes a more heartfelt, introspective side of songwriters Michael and Donny, while maintaining the bands' trademark vitality and swagger.
Equal parts death, regret and diminishing hope, "Suicide Blues" is a testament to the album's melancholic mood.
Whereas "Addicted to Dying" is a full-on, old-school MAKERS rock monster, "Concert Of Colors" and "Somebody Calling My Name" are epic, soul searing ballads.
The songs "Laughter Then Violence" and "elvis, John and Jesus" faintly recall the ghosts of Love and Queen to the sonic level that is today.
"Strangest Parade" presents a host of surreal surprises, excitement and classic rock'n'roll glory as only THE MAKERS can provide.
