All The Things You Wanted To Know About The Bravery And Didn’t Know How To Ask

Just found this interview with the Bravery on their decision to go back to the studio and record again the album The Sun and The Moon.

It is not often that bands go back to the studio and “fix” their own album, usually it is something that is done when many years pass and the new sound is just natural.

Just a taste from the interview:

BW: How did you come up with the idea for The Sun and The Moon Complete?

SE: Well, it’s our second album, which is always a weird one for a band ’cause you have to make a choice - are you going to do the same thing or are you going to try something different? We figured that we’d do both. The Sun disc is more experimental. It has more acoustic instruments, more like an organic, live band kind of thing. We brought in a producer - we’ve never worked with a producer before - and recorded in a proper studio like a proper band. And The Moon disc is how we traditionally do things. It’s darker, rawer, more electronic, and self-produced.

Don’t know about you but I sure like the second album better maybe just because it is more truthful to who they are. I think it is a great thing that a band can realize that some conventional ways of album recording are just not right for it and return to who they are.
