About Me |
|
| DECEMBER 2007After many months of sonic construction and underground whispering, Dublin's Stand released their fourth album proper, “Travel Light” onto the world last November. Sessions were booked. Release dates were nudged. Tracks were pulled apart limb from limb and put back together in novel ways. What emerged can only be described as their strongest body of songs to date.
Mr. Walsh wore the producer hat, sifting through the do's and dont's, letting the songs core breathe, giving a fine “Slan” (Goodbye) to tiresome layering. The melodies carry the weight. This album finds Neil and Alan in fine voice.
Michael McCoy made sure tracks didn't need redoing because the kick drum microphone was left unplugged. Chief engineer of the Hit Factory in NY, his craft, humour and tendency to 18hour sessions kept spirits afloat.
The venues: Buffalo, Rhinebeck, Manhattan, NYC and Lexington KY. Work started in a northern blizzard and finished under a southern sun.
A departure from the guitar based work of their 2004 work Transmissions, Stand are feverishly proud of the songs recorded here and as always, are working them out on the road as the van barrels on down the highway. Developing their songs and moving records from the van and their NYC headquarters, these four very different guys, in the most magical way of the best bands to do so before them, merge into one upon taking the stage.BAND PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROB HANNJoin the mailing list Stand Email Address: |

Sounds Like: “A sonically dense record, it is a pitch perfect melange of tight hooks, engaging studio textures and infectious percussion." ROCHESTER CITY NEWS Nov. 11th, 2006Once upon a time, a great group named simply "Stand" produced an album called "Transmissions". That group later pieced together an album they dubbed "Travel Light" which found the group experimenting with standard pop-rock harmonies and easy rhythms. "Travel Light" became the anti-thesis to the suitcase culture and all at once gripped the world as if this Dublin-based group could do no harm. Perfect in many, many ways… - Smother Magazine EDITOR'S PICK 2007"They're now coming on in lyrical leaps and musical bounds. Stand may Travel Light, but they mostly fly first class." HOTPRESS IRELAND"This is a gimmickless band. Strong, passionate and deeply melodic.... it is a big, joyful sound." THE BUFFALO NEWS"Imagine the writing of Neil Finn mixed with the wide open spaces of Pink Floyd." THE IRISH EXAMINER"They bring an energetic live show with an earnest, gritty aesthetic." THE NEW YORKER"On “Travel Light”, songs spiral out, scattering emotional cluster bombs as they go which explode with unexpected force throughout an achingly beautiful sonic landscape."
