| The Go! Team - Rolling Blackouts (2011) |
[Dec. 10th, 2010|10:43 pm] |
Rolling Blackouts’ is the group’s third full-length and features
vocal contributions from Deerhoof’s Satomi Matsuzaki and Best Coast’s
Bethany Cosentino as well as another bevy of sample-infused pop.
“I have a love-hate relationship with pop music,” Go! Team’s
mastermind Ian Parton tells Spinner. “I’m obsessed with melody and
catchiness, but I’m not interested in chart-topping aspirations, just
having a good feel about something. When a song’s too poppy, I feel
slightly guilty. I try to put some sort of barrier around it that says,
‘We’re not trying to be a pop band.’”
While the new songs retain certain elements of the band's earlier work, Parton also experimented with a new style. "Some of the songs have a pure, '60s jangly, almost Strawberry Alarm Clock/Byrds feel to them," Parton says. "I was trying to make it genuinely eclectic but without consciously [doing] so. I'm generally torn every day about what my favorite type of music is. ['Rolling Blackouts'] reflects that -- getting torn between all these different things.
