The Dandy Warhols have gone back to their roots for
their latest album ‘Odditorium And The Warlords Of
Mars’.
The band have just finished mixing and mastering their
fith album, and after their more experimental last
album - 2003’s ‘Welcome To The Monkeyhouse’ - the
Portland four-piece have gone back to the sound of
their earlier releases.
Guitarist Peter Holmstrom told NME: “It’s definitely
been a progression for the band. Sound-wise, it sounds
like (1997’s) ‘Dandy Warhols Come Down’ and (2000’s)
‘Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia’. It was the record
we’ve felt most confident making.”
Released on September 12 and preceded by the first
single ‘Smoke It’ on July 4, Holmstrom has described
the sound of the record as “half trippy, half rock”.
“Fans will be very pleased with it,” he said. “It’s a
Dandy Warhols record! Some songs you’ve heard them a
hundred times, but there are a few little tricks in
there. We weren’t trying to break new ground - making
this was the most natural thing.”
