ACE FREHLEY To Follow-Up Anomaly In "The Next Year And A Half Or So"
September 4, 2009, 14 years ago
Gary Graff from Billboard.com is reporting:
ACE FREHLEY intends his new Anomaly, the former Kiss guitarist's first set of new material in 20 years, to "kind of pick up where I left off with my first solo album" - 1978's Ace Frehley, which was recorded and released during Kiss' commercial zenith.
"Prior to going into the studio, I listened to that first album, which everybody cites as their favorite Ace record," Frehley tells Billboard.com. "I dissected it and tried to get into the same mind set this time around. I think I recaptured some of the musical textures and attitude and vibe that I had on that first record."Frehley intends to hit the road later this fall to support Anomaly and will have a new custom model Gibson Les Paul guitar issued before the end of the year. With four songs left over from the "Anomaly" sessions, he also intends to issue a follow-up in short order.
"It'll probably in the next year and a half or so -- it's not gonna be another 20 years," he promises with a laugh. "I went away for awhile. I went to outer space...and came back. Now I'm stronger than ever, with a vengeance. I just hope everyone likes (Anomaly). I really put my heart and soul into it."Read the entire interview here.
Ace Frehley's new album Anomaly is due out on September 15th on his own Bronx Born Records, with Rocket Science (USA) and Season Of Mist (Europe) providing full label service platforms. The album will be released in Europe on September 18th. Amazon.de has 30-second audio samples of the entire record at this location.
