Zach Hill announces second solo album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 27 July 2010
Zach Hill, drummer with noise rock types Hella, has announced that his second solo album, ‘Face Tat’, will be released through Sargeant House on 19 Oct. As with his debut, it will feature collaborations with all manner of other artists, this time including Devendra Bandhart plus members of No Age, Deerhoof and Prefuse 73.
Talking words about the album, Hill said: “There’s an emphasis on experimenting with ‘destroying’ sounds, so that the source of the melody, rhythms, vocals, etc, is not recognisable or traceable, and then building these things into abstract forms of pop music with conventional structures. Some of the most melodic aspects to this recording are coming from things like the sound of urinating on a stack of Rolling Stone magazines (I have a subscription), kicking in the screen of a computer, arguments on the street, etc”.
He continued: “Lyrically, many of the songs started from me writing down a lot of out-of-context sentences I’d hear in passing or from personal exchanges that I found really visual, stimulating or to which I felt a connection. I like the idea of making these very real but obscure moments that are otherwise unknown or gone forever into their own weird little worlds”.
The names of the songs are these:
Memo To The Man
The Primitives Talk
Ex-Ravers
The Sacto Smile
Green Bricks
House Of Hits
Jackers
Burner In The Video
Dizzy From The Twins
Gross Sales
Total Recall
Face Tat
Second Life
