The new BUSH album, The Sea of Memories, is steeped in the notion that one
has to know where they came from to know where they’re going. “We are the
sum of everything we’ve done -- right, wrong and in-between,” says singer
and guitarist Gavin Rossdale. “We’re all victims, and benefactors, of our
past.” And Bush should know. The British-born band has had more success over
the course of their first half-dozen years than most artists do in a
lifetime. From Sixteen Stone to The Science of Things, they made some of the
most successful rock albums in recent memory. The seminal outfit also forged
a sound that would come to characterize an entire decade.
Today, Rossdale is mining the past for clues to the future, and has come up
with an album that reflects both sides of that time quotient. On The Sea of
Memories, he’s resurrected the band with drummer Robin Goodridge, guitarist
Chris Traynor and bassist Corey Britz. “When making music, you have a choice
to repeat what you’ve done or move on,” says Rossdale. “It would’ve been
safe to just rework [1994’s debut album] Sixteen Stone over and over, but
what kind of life would that be? When you’re driving down the road, you’re
focused on what’s in front of you; you don’t really think to keep checking
in your rear view mirror. I like the idea of art changing, developing and
morphing.”
The Sea of Memories is drenched in Bush’s trademark intensity and driven by
Rossdale’s emotive, bittersweet vocals, but it’s also infused with an
immediacy that pushes the album into new, compelling directions. From their
lead single, the atmospheric powerhouse “The Sound of Winter,” to the
rapid-fire exuberance of “All My Life,” Bush reveals itself as a
re-energized band. It’s a fresh mindset that’s at least partially influenced
by events surrounding the making of this record.
Rossdale thought they had finished the CD late last year after recording
with producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Aerosmith). But creative differences with
its label led to an amicable parting of ways and the band left with album in
hand and a choice of places to call home. While their team fielded offers
from a plethora of labels, the band went back into Rossdale’s home Kingston
Sound studios in LA and emerged with five new songs. “I didn’t want to get
caught up in the process of signing a new deal,” says Rossdale. “I wanted to
keep moving and creating. We had good ideas and wanted to flesh them out.”
It was during this re-energized state that the band decided to take control
of the reins and release the album themselves. Thus, The Sea of Memories is
Bush’s first indie effort since the early 1990s. Rossdale’s own imprint,
Zuma Rock Records, will issue the album through an exclusive partnership
with eOne Music. “It’s been a relief and a breath of fresh air,” says
Rossdale of making the leap from a major label, and being able to work under
fewer creative constraints. “There’s a pressure that comes with being on a
major. If you’re nurtured and looked after properly, it gives you the
freedom and confidence to be creative, and from that comes good results. But
it can also be disheartening. This feels good. This feels right.”
After the release of Golden State in 2001, Bush began unraveling from a
grueling tour schedule and pressure brought on by their own success.
Guitarist Neil Pulsford finally begged off touring altogether, and in 2002,
left the band to spend more time with his family. Bassist Dave Parsons soon
followed. “There was no big bang,” says Rossdale of the break-up. “We did it
in a very English way—quietly.”
Rossdale spent the next eight years pursuing new projects—from forming the
band Institute in 2004 (which also included guitarist Traynor) to launching
a solo career in 2008. Still, a Bush reunion was never that far off in his
thoughts. “My delay in reuniting the band was really waiting for Nigel to
come back, but he just didn’t want to tour anymore,” says Rossdale. “It was
like ‘What am I going to do?’ As much as I wanted to wait, I also like to be
in the studio and perform. So Institute and then my solo career were much
more by default then by design. And I felt a bit off-kilter. It all felt
less powerful, and just less all around. As long as I make music, I’d much
rather make it under the name Bush than my own.” Says Robin Goodridge of the
reunion: “I always knew Bush would make another record. It was only a matter
of time before the itch got too much for some of us. When you have something
that great, it never leaves you.”
The Sea of Memories has a foot in Bush’s past and its future: a balance the
band was determined to strike if they were to connect with loyal fans and
reach new listeners. “I was a fan of Bush, so I wanted to do the music
justice,” says Corey Britz, the newest member, though no stranger to the
camp, as he’s played with Rossdale on various projects over the past few
years. “Bush has always had a particular feel, and I hope to get as close to
the mark as possible. I’m proud, nervous, and excited to be a part of a band
that I have been a fan of for so many years.”
Guitarist Chris Traynor has played with Bush since the Golden State tour. He
was also part of Rossdale’s ensuing band, Institute, and on the singer’s
more recent solo projects. “I think every Bush record has been sonically and
stylistically different from the last,” says Traynor. “The engine that
drives the band, and makes it Bush, is Gavin's songwriting and singing. The
ever-expanding vocabulary and musical territory of the band has to do with
his overall vision as an artist. I really respect the fact that Gavin is
driven to push forward and progress musically.”
The freedom Rossdale has found musically on The Sea of Memories also
translates into his lyrics. Throughout the record, he offers up poetic,
colorful and often ironic narratives on day-to-day living—sometimes
biographical, sometimes not. “I think the record has that balance of living:
the struggle, romance, loss, desire, aspirations,” says Rossdale. “Like the
song ‘All Night Doctors,’ I enjoyed writing a dialogue, showing a snapshot
of someone else’s life. For most people, happiness revolves around what
they’ve achieved. But success is really about how they reconcile their
aspirations with where they actually land in life. That balance has always
intrigued me. I’ve found that depression, stress and worry is almost always
rooted in the past and the future. But there’s a lot of riches to be found
in the moment.”
