Post Description

Fatboy are back with a new collection of adorable melodies. This time Thomas Pareigis, Hannu Kiviaho, Jan Lissnils, Alf Östlund, Joakim Lindahl and Marcus Källström decided to go a little further into the mine, deeper down under ground. Together they generated rivers of sweat before they found the finest rock diamonds of them all. The six-piece delivers the kind of amazing songs that even make legendary film directors like Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino wanting to use the bands music in their upcoming movies.
The distinctive mix of rockabilly, country and rock’n’roll that has made Fatboy so popular is still intact but together with producer Simon Nordberg (Håkan Hellström, Amanda Jenssen, Kent) the band have broaden their horizon even further and to categorise their music is pretty much impossible.
– The album is almost like a sideshow where every song has its own little tent. You will find the magicians, strippers, fire-eaters, bikers… The songs all live within their own little world, Thomas says and adds that the band has never been this creative before.
– For the first time we wrote about 25 titles that never made it to the album. They were all good songs but the recording moved in another direction and they just didn’t fit.
The toughest part of the work might take place back home (in the dark, sweaty mine) but most ideas are born in other places. Like in Berlin. This is where the band did their last concert following the release of “Overdrive” (2010) and this is where Thomas and guitarist Hannu spent a few days in order to write new songs. Later on the recording was divided into two sessions.
–Simons plan was to record 6-7 songs and then have a break before going back into the studio again. It was a different way of working and gave us the chance to customize the material in a new way. A lot of the songs on the album were born in-between the studio sessions, remembers Hannu Kiviaho.
The band, loved by both psychobilly-kids, headbangers and country’n’western-ladies, might have spent a lot of time in the rehearsal making sure they turn every song into gold, but in the studio things moved quicker.
