Heads up, wayward disbelievers....here come The Hazey Janes.
Four years into the two-thousands, Dundee's favourite sons (and daughter) drew crowds with their self-titled debut - six tracks long, nary a wasted note: a farewell to tenement blues, the first hint of a smile, and the journey to come...across the isles, through the highlands, down south...
To Spain! And the home of producer Paco Loco (Josh Rouse/Golden Smog). A world removed, the perfect climate for the recording of Hotel Radio, the Hazeys' first full-length LP.
The sound of harmonies on hot days, cicadas and pedal-steel, the album finds a band fusing the grand traditions of Scottish guitar-pop and Alt. Country, dipping into Nuggets garage and Elephant Six-psych...thirteen tracks to skip your heart and clear the sky. From the explosive single 'Your Enemy' to the shimmering 'This Place Is Just Not My Kind' and beyond...the California-perfect 'Always There', the swooning, longing 'Katie Goes'...
Put on your best shoes, people. Call your friends. Tune in to Hotel Radio.
- JW, 2006.
Hotel Radio was mixed by the esteemed John Agnello (The Hold Steady/Sonic Youth/The Walkmen) and mastered by Greg Calbi in New York.
