' '
,: "ELO songs were always coming on the radio when I was growing :,
: up. They were a reliable source of pleasure and fascination :
:' (except for Fire On High which scared the heck out of me). ':
,: With this album of covers I wanted to get my hands deep into :,
: some of the massive 70 s hits but I am also shining a light on :
:' some of the later work ( Ordinary Dream from 2001 s Zoom ':
,: album, Secret Messages and From The End Of The World , both :,
: from the 80 s). :
:' ':
,: Thematically, I identify with the loneliness and alienation and :,
: the outerspace-iness in the songs I chose. (I have always felt :
:' like I am part alien, not fully belonging to or in this Earth ':
,: world.) Sonically, ELO recordings are like an amusement park :,
: packed with fun musical games with layers and layers of varied, :
:' meticulous parts for your ears to explore; production ':
,: curiosities; huge, gorgeous stacks of awe-inspiring vocal :,
: harmony puzzles. My task was to try and break all the things :
:' down and reconstruct them subtly until they felt like mine. ':
,: :,
: Overall, I stuck pretty close to the originals structures while :
:' figuring out new ways to express or reference the unique and ':
,: beloved ELO string arrangements. An orchestra would have been :,
: difficult or impossible for me to manage to record, nor did I :
:' think there was any point in trying to copy those parts as they ':
,: originally were. Why not try to reimagine them within my zone of :,
: limitations? In some cases, I transposed string parts onto :
:' guitars, or keyboards, and I even sung some of them (as in ':
,: Showdown and Bluebird Is Dead ). :,
: :
:' Recording the album was a kind of complicated and drawn-out ':
,: process since I was doing all of my tracks at home in my bedroom :,
: (drums and bass were done by Chris Anzalone and Ed Valauskas, :
:' respectively [in their own recording spaces]), and I kept ':
,: running into technology problems that would frustrate me and :,
: slow me up. But eventually I got it all done. A labor of love." :
