Description:
A story from front to back: 2006 After many months of sonic construction and underground whispering, Dublin's Stand are about to release their fourth album proper, “Travel Light” onto the world next November. Sessions were booked. Release dates were nudged. Tracks were pulled apart limb from limb and put back together in novel ways. What emerged can only be described as their strongest body of songs to date. Mr. Walsh wore the producer hat, sifting through the do's and dont's, letting the songs core breathe, giving a fine “Slan” (Goodbye) to tiresome layering. Kudos. The melodies carry the weight. This album finds Neil and Alan in fine voice. Michael McCoy made sure tracks didn't need redoing because the kick drum microphone was left unplugged. Chief engineer of the Hit Factory NY, his craft, humour and tendency to an 18hr session kept spirits afloat. The venues: Buffalo, Rheinbeck, Manhattan, NYC and Lexington KY. Work started in a northern blizzard and finished under a southern sun. Newcomers should note that this band have wavered their part in the corporate merry-go-round. No one is wearing high-street garb. Free of making up PR sound bites, reducing themselves to industry fodder they paved their own path on the hard shoulder parallel to their mentors' highways. Imagine the tunesmith of Neil Finn, the wide-open spaces of The Pink Floyd, the live emotion of Neil Young. Listen to this record. Check out a live show. Only then will the penny drop.
