- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
One day when he was a child in New York City Anton put his ear against a
speaker in a dark apartment on the west side and went into a trance. He had a
long dream. When he woke up twenty years later his heart was permanently
broken, but in a good way. Trying to make a movie out of the turbulence in
his mind, he found himself writing songs instead, songs some have described
as sounding like a psychoanalyst trying to seduce a spelling bee champion.
Sword's songs blend Roxy Music's weird romance, The Kinks' music-hall pop,
John Lennon's plangent sincerity, Radiohead's art-prog, and Elliott SmithÆs
melancholy, and now these songs are being brought to full power by his band
The We Ours, which showcases thrilling drummer Kristin Mueller of Lucinda
Black Bear and great additional vocals by guitarist Kristofer Widholm and
bassist Jessica Hallman. A female rhythm section fronted by two guy singers:
that's a welcome change.
The past year found Anton Sword & The We Ours touring the northeast USA and
Europe several times. 2009 will see several new releases recorded at NYC's
Godelstring studio, and in Berlin's Candybomber studio with Ingo Krauss
(formerly of Conny Plank's Cologne studio). "I Like Your Mind" is the first
We Ours release.
