The band’s new 2-CD set, Here & Now is a spectacular distillation of the group’s signature sound past and present, comprising one studio record of all new material and a second live disc taped at XM Radio featuring renditions of songs found on the group’s multi-platinum greatest hits album, History.
Their new studio album is a fresh blast of classic Americana shaped by the contemporary sensibilities of producers Adam Schlesinger (Fountains Of Wayne) and James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins) and features guests, Ryan Adams, Ben Kweller, Jim James and Patrick Hallahan (My Morning Jacket), Ira Elliot and Matthew Caws (Nada Surf) ,Stephen Bishop and Mark Rozzo (Maplewood). “One of the main attractions for Adam (Schlesinger) and James (Iha) was their initial love of the America sound,” explains Gerry Beckley. “We have intentionally tried to keep that being the main focus.
We’re not trying to emulate or go backwards but the initial ingredients have always remained common to us, which were an abundance of acoustic instrument sounds, a lot of vocal harmony and interesting melodies and lyrics in the forefront.“ Dewey adds, “Adam and James are terrific to work with. We’ve tried to maintain the elements of our own traditions so those things haven’t changed. We’re not moving into electronic music but there are a few quirky things on the album. We’re doing a few outside tracks including “Always Love” by Nada Surf.”
