Release Notes:
Herman Dune has been a notorious underground band for a few years already,
with fans in Europe and in the USA.
They recorded a new album, ôGIANTö, for the new record-label Source Etc,
and for the first time they had time and support to let arrangements and
sound-production fantasies express themselves. With a brand-new Percussion
Line-Up, the vintage sound of an actual Bourbon æhorns and brassÆ section
and the vocal support of the girl-group ôThe Woo-Woosö (Lisa Li-Lund and
The New York Babyskins), Herman Dune make their renowned love for good
songwriting shine a little brighter.
Poetry, melodies and groove are their favorite writing and playing devices,
and if they can have fun recording their songs, they are even happier about
them. Giant was recorded with the band playing live in a studio near Mount
Snodown in North Wales, UK, where Giants roam at night.
The craft of the songs remains their first concern, rhymes and choruses
move them tremendously, but they had more time to embellish their sound,
this time.
The Herman Dune Family has roots in Sweden, France, and New York, USA. The
brothers David-Ivar aka Ya Ya (guitar, bass and vocals) and Andre (guitar,
saxophone and vocals) have been playing together since early childhood with
Neman (Drums), and soon their young sister Lisa (Backing Vocals) was to
follow her brothers and joined the band. They now live in different parts
of the world (Berlin, New York and Paris) and gather for touring and
recording as often as they can. With a few albums out on American, English
and French underground labels, and the latest widely acclaimed album Not On
Top (Track And Field UK), they have toured allover the world, for expanding
crowds. The English press has always supported them, even through chaotic
distribution, and BBC1 DJs play their songs a lot. John Peel invited them
for 12 Peel Sessions on BBC, like only a few other bands, and they still
record from time to time for BBC now that he is gone. Well aquainted with
the american live scene and with many friends in the New York Artist
Community, they have performed in a lot of places, and made strong
connections in many states and countries.
Giant was crafted with songs first, and then real instruments, real people
and analog equipment.
The first Single to come out of ôGiantö will be ôI Wish That I Could See
You Soonö.
