HITCHCOCKS REGRET: THE MEDIA RELEASE SAYS IT ALL:
Hitchcock's Regret's third album endless intermission began with Shane Pex uttering “If Her Life In Reverse (previous HR album) was “To Catch A Thief” (light and summery Hitchcock film) then this album will be “Vertigo” (an extremely personal, dark and wintry Hitchcock film)”
In the same way that Alfred Hitchcock shaped Vertigo into a highly personal story of memory, loss and obsession, Hitchcock's Regret molded their latest album using Hitch's emotional palette as inspiration.
Endless Intermission has been through two producers, seen two band members depart to other shores, a rejection of earlier influences, the construction of a studio, the previous record company balking at what was considered an uncommercial/arty album and finally the meeting of minds with Spacejunk.
In its embryonic state this album came about through Hitchcock's Regret working with Michael Carpenter stretching the boundaries of their usual processes and developing a fresh palette of sounds. They found sounds and textures they had not used before and worked tirelessly at redefining the bands sound.
The exploration of this unknown quantity drew them to international producer and artist Tim Powles (iota, George Byrne, Switchkicker, the church). The bands approach to recording and writing was deconstructed, starting with the rhythm section. Sweeping, avant-garde, atmospheric textures became the musical backdrop to Mark Moldre's highly personal lyrics, whilst retaining a strong sense of “song” .
And then there were two……
Keyboardist Paul Grant left to follow a career in Singapore closely followed by bassist Dave Pex who moved on ‘cause it was time'.
Mark and Shane working with Tim pushed the project on and gradually realised that for once anything was possible. Mark and Shane's love of cinema started to come out in the music – soundtrack styled textures ebbed and flowed beneath the lyrics – Mark's style being coined as “painting feelings”. Songs like Goodnight Chet , blending the lives of Elliot Smith and Chet Baker, Happiness – a deeply personal lyrical diary, Apathy with its scathing view of people who go through life with blinkers on and finally Last Day , a soaring epic that Mark wrote after a particularly emotional day. - Jane Powles; Spacejunk Production House |
