Fuse Listening Party: Our Staff Spins Alabama Shakes' 'Sound & Color'
FUSE TV - Fuse Listening Party: Our Staff Spins Alabama Shakes' 'Sound & Color'
Three years after their now-classic, 500,000-copies-sold debut Boys & Girls, the invincible Alabama Shakes have returned with Sound & Color. Our staff spent the last week spinning the album (thanks for the early stream yet again, NPR!) and emailing about it as we went. Listen via Spotify below, purchase on iTunes, and enjoy the latest Fuse listening party.
Taylor Brown: After a few listens, the thing that keeps me coming back is the production. There's a lot of good songs on here from a writing perspective, but this record just sounds so fucking good. The coolest thing is that every instrument on every song gets at times a radically different sonic approach as the album moves along. The drums go from wide room to tight and punchy; vocals go from bright and present to muffled and high-cut. It's all about what each song needs. It's no surprise to find out Blake Mills produced this. He's a master of his craft, and track-by-track, he brings out nuance without burying anything. He's perfectly judicious with reverb, giving this album that super-tight Muscle Shoals vibe with top notch fidelity to boot. And that bass fuzz on "Future People," holy shit, that is how it is DONE. A lot of care went into this record. I'm into it.
