Info zu Dreaming Of The 80s

Die Aufführung von Coversongs in Konzerten führte Kevin Hearn zu der Erkenntnis, wie fein gearbeitet einige der beliebten Hits der 80er Jahre sind. Anfang 2020 begannen Kevin und Hugh Marsh, diese alten Favoriten zu jammen und sie aufzunehmen. Während der Pandemie-Blase erforschten sie weiterhin die Melodien der 80er und hatten schließlich ein komplettes Album, aufgenommen und bearbeitet von Kenny Luong. Abgespeckt und akustisch gespielt, glänzen die Songs sowohl als großartige Songs als auch als nostalgische Erinnerungen an eine Zeit, als wir alle weniger Dinge hatten, die uns niederhielten.

In „Dreaming of the 80s“ erfinden der Keyboarder/Sänger Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies, Lou Reed, Rheostatics) und der Geiger Hugh Marsh (Bruce Cockburn, Doug Riley, Rheostatics) eine vielfältige Sammlung der Klassiker und Deep Cuts des Jahrzehnts in einer einzigartig atmosphärischen und ätherischen Neuinterpretation klangliche Umgebung. Eine Auswahl von Tom Petty, Kraftwerk, Kate Bush, Joy Division, Billy Idol, Bob Marley und mehr profitiert von einer gedämpften und treffend traumartigen Behandlung, die ihre jeweiligen Haken und Reize intakt hält. Einige nehmen sogar eine zusätzliche Dimension an, dank einer Reihe besonderer Gäste, darunter der geschätzte Opernsänger Michael Colvin, die New-Wave-Ikone Carole Pope, Hearns Kollege Lou Reed als Begleiter Fernando Saunders und Sun Ra Arkestra-Trompeter Michael Ray.

Kevin Hearn
A gifted composer, in-demand collaborator, and ever-active musical force with zero interest in creative stagnancy, Hearn cut his teeth collaborating with the likes of Look People, Corky and the Juice Pigs and revered art-rock outfit Rheostatics before formally joining Barenaked Ladies in 1995. As the group’s profile swelled in the ensuing years, he explored new sonic ground with a series of innovative and imaginative solo albums. One of the most respected and sought-after Toronto musicians of the past 30 years, Hearn’s projects always attract brilliant collaborators, including Ron Sexsmith, Dan Hill, Michael Ray of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Carole Pope, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Alan Doyle, The Persuasions, Violent Femmes, Colin Hay and drummer Rob Kloet (the Nits). One of his most rewarding creative and personal relationships of all was with the legendary Lou Reed, for whom Hearn acted as musical director and keyboardist from 2007 until his passing in 2013. Hearn was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2018 as part of Barenaked Ladies. He released his ninth album, the captivating and compelling Calm and Cents, which was nominated for Instrumental Album of the Year at the 2020 JUNO Awards. Hearn also re-released his entire solo catalogue, which dates back to 1997’s debut Mothball Mint, and included a first-time digital release of the sold-out 2019 Record Store Day Canada project Kevin Hearn & Friends Present: The Superhero Suite, nominated by the JUNO Awards for Album Artwork of the Year.
