Kingsley Flood – the Newport Folk Fest alums – have propelled their sound forward on new album ‘Another Other’ (October 14)
with the help of GRAMMY-winning producer Paul Kolderie (Radiohead, The
Pixies, Joe Jackson, Portugal. The Man., Dinosaur Jr.). Kolderie said,
“I love this band and I had a blast making this record. Great songs,
great people, and we had a lot of fun making it. I think that comes
through in the recording. Plus we got to work in an old Masonic temple
with shadowy Egyptian gods on the wall.”
Frontman Naseem Khuri recalls, “One of the best traits of Kolderie is
his demeanor; he can stay calm through a warzone. He saw us all duking
it out over the timing of a trumpet solo, and using very few words,
resolved it. He just said quietly, ‘hold on,’ turned around, messed with
the board, and played both tracks on top of each other, a few bars
apart. [Keyboardist and trumpet player] Chris [Barrett] then did a real
take of that second part, and we had our solo with dueling trumpets.” He
also suggested layering three different fuzz bass textures on “To The
Wolves.” Bassist Nick Balkin adds, “It always a heavy song, but he made
it crushingly heavy.”
