Electric Forgiveness – Original Score<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Featuring Contributions by Rabbit (The Who), Steve Kilbey (The Church) and Doug MacMillan (The Connells)<\/i><\/p>\n
ASHEVILLE, NC, USA, August 24, 2023\/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — \u201cOriginal Score\u201d is a 43-minute piece of music consisting of 11 uninterrupted tracks. The intent is for it to be listened to all at once, in the dark, accompanied by someone you trust, and a Lava Lamp.<\/p>\n \u201cElectric Forgiveness was initially a side project that I developed with John Bundrick,\u201d said Third of Never founder Jon Dawson. \u201cWe (Third of Never) were recording at the House of Vibes in New Jersey at the same time as The Smithereens. At one point we couldn’t book sessions due to their mixing deadline, so I put the guitar down and dove into the world of electronica.\u201d<\/p>\n The new Electric Forgiveness album \u201cOriginal Score\u201d was also conceived during a break in Third of Never’s recording schedule.<\/p>\n \u201cI obtained a Korg Kasoscillator synthesizer and did not come up for air for days,\u201d Dawson said. \u201cWithin a week I had the basis for another Electric Forgiveness record. This led to quite a bit of cross-pollination between the Third of Never and Electric Forgiveness projects.\u201d<\/p>\n While dabs of electronica floated into the Third of Never album (slated for an April 2024 release), Electric Forgiveness inhaled some guitar and vocal tracks from the Third of Never camp.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re lucky to have Doug MacMillan of The Connells as our vocalist in Third of Never,\u201d Dawson said. \u201cWe sampled his voice along with a Steve Kilbey cameo and bits of my guitar for the Electric Forgiveness record. You\u2019d think it would be terrifying trying to juggle two albums at once, but they actually informed each other rather nicely.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSteve Potak (The Connells) did 90% of the keyboards on this album in one take,\u201d Dawson said. \u201cWhat makes this even more remarkable is that he didn\u2019t really hear any of the tracks until he sat down to record his parts.\u201d<\/p>\n Vocalist\/multi-instrumentalist Sara Bell was enlisted for Electric Forgiveness after participating in a Third of Never session.<\/p>\n \u201cHer voice is as pure as you\u2019ll ever hear, so I asked her to come in and improvise over sections of the Electric Forgiveness music,\u201d Dawson said. \u201cHer performance elevated everything. There’s a beautiful eeriness in her voice that pulls the listener in instantly.\u201d<\/p>\n Kurt Reil of the Grip Weeds contributed drums to the album.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the most amazing recording of Kurt\u2019s drumming I\u2019ve ever heard,\u201d Dawson said. \u201cHe usually has to be concerned with \u2018playing for the song\u2019 and finding the proper spots to explode, but with this music, there aren\u2019t any songs in the traditional sense, so he\u2019s allowed to just blow for 40 minutes, and his performance is staggering.\u201d<\/p>\n Bassist Michael Kelly (Femmes of Rock, Grip Weeds, Gene Simmons) came to mind after Dawson remembered a conversation they\u2019d had about music over a decade earlier.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Grip Weeds and Third of Never played at a music festival in Philadelphia around a decade ago,\u201d Dawson said. \u201cMichael and his wife had a cookout for both bands afterward. While we were there I played Michael bits of the first Electric Forgiveness album. One piece reminded him of Tomita – which he was a fan of, so when it came time to find a bassist for this new project he seemed like a natural fit. He did a great job adding melody to this sprawling ball of sound.\u201d<\/p>\n The album will be released on October 15, 2023 by Broken Sound Tapes in conjunction with 343 Records and Jam Recordings. The initial formats will be CD, cassette and digital.<\/p>\n Electric Forgiveness: Jon Dawson, John Bundrick, Sara Bell, Michael Kelly, Steve Potak, Kurt Reil<\/p>\n Guests: Doug MacMillan and Steve Kilbey<\/p>\n Track List: All tracks arranged by Electric Forgiveness:<\/p>\n Produced by Jon Dawson, Benjy Johnson, and Tim Harper<\/p>\n Recording Studios: Little Vegas (La Grange), Earthtones (Greensboro), House of Vibes (Highland Park), Starpoint (Carrboro), Mrs. Kelly’s Son Studios (Philadelphia), Rabbit Studios (Somerset)<\/p>\n Doug MacMillan: vocal samples from \u201cRolling Down A Hill,\u201d \u201cWe Grabbed The Ground\u201d and \u201cWild Piece\u201d by Third of Never<\/p>\n Steve Kilbey: vocal sample from \u201cRolling Down A Hill\u201d by Third of Never.<\/p>\n To purchase: BrokenSoundTapes.Bandcamp.com<\/p>\n For more information: For review copies contact: jon@thirdofnever.com<\/p>\n Press inquiries:<\/p>\n Billy James
