Melodies on Hiatus: Orange w/ Magenta & Black Splatter Vinyl LP
Pop/rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. is the lead & rhythm guitarist and songwriting member of the GRAMMYÂź and BRIT Awards-winning band The Strokes. He has released 4 solo albums to date, most recently the acclaimed âFrancis Troubleâ in 2018 which spawned the radio single âFar Away Truthsâ. In the 4 years, since then, The Strokes released their US Top 10 charting GRAMMYÂź nominated rock record âThe New Abnormalâ and toured the world extensively. Albert also began the songwriting process for his 5th solo album âMelodies on Hiatusâ, a 19-track album, crafted in a most experimental style. Albert teamed up with his writing partner, Canadian songwriter, and poet Simon Wilcox (whom he never met during the process) and had lengthy conversations via the telephone; Simon would jot down notes from Albertâs stream of consciousness, and draft the lyrics on her typewriter, and drop them into his letterbox! Albert then added the lyrics to the melodies he had already crafted. The songwriting process became a long distant âanonymous love affair of ideas & lyrics.â The album covers themes of childhood, surviving adolescence, adulthood, vulnerability, fame, relationship with self and others, and is Albertâs âdeconstructed broken down ego reactionâ to âFrancis Trouble.â The album also features songs with GoldLink, Matt Helders (of the Arctic Monkeys), Steve Stevens and Rainsford, and was mixed by Tony Hoffer (known for his work with Beck, Air, M83, The Kooks, Fitz and the Tantrums, Metric, Chromeo, etc.) and mastered by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters (Paramore, Spoon, Tame Impala, Jimmy Eat World, Peanut Butter Wolfe).TracklistingDisc: 11.
