Release Notes:
Despite our many and various attempts to hold on to the past and live
in the seemingly eternal warmth of our finest moments we all know that
life is best addressed with forward thought and motion. But in doing
that, as the euphoria of youth fades and the years increase there comes
in all of us a gap, a space, where the unresolved is acknowledged and
we see our uncertainties far clearer than anything else. As Kids In
Glass Houses return with their stunning third album ‘In Gold Blood’
they find themselves at exactly this point.
‘In Gold Blood’ is the crossroads that vocalist Aled Phillips,
guitarists Joel Fisher and Iain Mahanty, bassist Andrew Shay and
drummer Philip Jenkins stand at in 2011. The systems, rules and beliefs
they were raised with colliding with the ideas, understanding and
opinions formed by experience all coloured by the obstacles, challenges
and complexities life has thrown at them along the way.
“It’s an album that discusses my own experience of life,” vocalist
Phillips admits. “I started to question how I had arrived at this point
in my life, looking at the good and bad, the relationships and
everything else that defines me now. “ By the time the band finished
recording with Jason Perry in Belgium and London the tsunami that
savaged Japan, the uprisings in Egypt and Libya, Westboro Baptist
Church, a relationship gone cold, family values, personal pressures,
life in a band and a thousand things more had all been poured in to the
songs, drenching each part and lyric with experience and meaning.
“Trying to write songs about doomsday while you watch the world falling
apart every night on the news definitely had an impact on this album,”
the singer adds. “World affairs could have easily been scripted by
Hollywood producers in recent months.
”Despite all the madness and despair there are shards and glimmers of
hope hidden throughout the album. While life is now too complicated for
Kids In Glass Houses to retreat to pure anthems of sparkling bombast
and moments of elated intoxication there is still an underlying
positivity, drive and momentum that moves ‘In Gold Blood’ and makes it
vital. The choruses are bigger (‘Teenage Wonderland’, ‘Annie May’), the
riffs are more aggressive (first single ‘Animals’, ‘Gold Blood’) and
the compositions more layered (‘Fire’) on a record that is not a
departure but a realisation of the potential demonstrated in earlier
work. The outlook might be more weathered and the optimism more tapered
but the dynamics and raw energy that got Kids In Glass Houses to this
point are better than ever.
With two successful albums under their belt and a live reputation
envied by many Kids In Glass Houses are one of British rock’s finest
emerging talents. In a similar position others might have stepped away
from writing a textured and tense rock record with concepts and
characters layered on top of hopes and fears but as we are finding out,
Kids In Glass Houses are not just another British rock band.
