THE LAST VEGAS To Release New Album In March; Artwork Revealed
February 1, 2016, 8 years ago
Chicago-based rockers, The Last Vegas, will release their sixth studio album on March 18th, exclusively through AFM Records Germany. To commemorate, the band have a special message to the world: "Eat Me".
Yes, Eat Me is a mash-up of full-tilt boogie rock, droney Zeppelin-esque riffs, and alt-psychedelic acoustic ballads. Equal part American bluesy riffs and Swedish production technique, the album balances grit and polish.
Eat Me is the first time The Last Vegas have collaborated with a European production team (Sweden’s Chris Laney mixing and Grammy-nominated Classe Persson mastering). Being long-time fans of Scandinavian rock production and influenced by records from The Hellacopters, Turbnonegro, Nomads and more, The Last Vegas were thrilled with a new approach in making an modern-day album; and the results of the inter-continental experiment.
“We chipped away at each track’s session, layering guitars, Moog synths, bongos, bells, wind chimes, and even an old-school talk-box”, says TLV. “Chris’s mixes just kept blowing us away. He asked if he could go crazy in the mixes, and we demanded he do so. We found the soul in rock ’n’ roll; from both Chicago and Stockholm. But let’s not get too serious, I mean the album is called Eat Me after all. Catch you on tour in Europe April 2016!"
