Info zu Out of All This Blue (Deluxe)

„Out Of All This Blue“ wurde in Dublin und Tokio aufgenommen und von Sänger Mike Scott produziert. Das Album ist das bisher innovativste der schottisch-irischen Band: die 23 Popsongs sind mit Elementen des klassischen R&B, Country, Soul, Funk und modernen Hip Hop-Rhythmen gefärbt. Neben der Musik stammen auch die wie gewohnt scharfsinnigen Texte aus der Feder des Bandgründers. Die Streicher- und Bläsersektionen wurden von Trey Pollard von The Spacebomb Collective arrangiert und dirigiert.

„‘Out Of All This Blue‘ besteht zu 2/3 aus Liebe und Romantik und zu einem Drittel aus Geschichten und Beobachtungen.“, sagt Mike Scott über sein neues Werk. „Ich wusste von Beginn an, dass ich ein Doppelalbum machen wollte. Zu meinem Glück – und hoffentlich auch zu dem der Zuhörer – sprudelten die Ideen und Melodien nur so aus mir heraus.“

The Waterboys
are a band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England. Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group. The band has played in a number of different styles, but their music is a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll. After ten years of recording and touring, they dissolved in 1993 and Scott pursued a solo career. They reformed in 2000, and continue to release albums and tour worldwide. Scott emphasises a continuity between The Waterboys and his solo work, saying that "To me there's no difference between Mike Scott and the Waterboys; they both mean the same thing. They mean myself and whoever are my current travelling musical companions."

The early Waterboys sound was dubbed "The Big Music" after a song on their second album, A Pagan Place. This musical style was described by Scott as "a metaphor for seeing God's signature in the world." It either influenced or was used to describe a number of other bands, including Simple Minds, The Alarm, In Tua Nua, Big Country, the Hothouse Flowers and World Party, the last of which was made up of former Waterboys members. In the late 1980s the band became significantly more folk influenced. The Waterboys eventually returned to rock and roll, and have released both rock and folk albums since reforming. Their songs, largely written by Scott, often contain literary references and are frequently concerned with spirituality. Both the group and its members' solo careers have received much praise from both rock and folk music critics, but The Waterboys as a band has never received the commercial success that some of its members have had independently. Aside from World Party, The Waterboys have also influenced musicians such as Eddie Vedder, Johnny Goudie, Colin Meloy of The Decemberists,Grant Nicholas of Feeder,James Marshall Owen, and Miles Hunt of The Wonder Stuff; both Bono and The Edge from U2 are fans of the band.
