简介

Mike Lennon's In Another World is the follow up to Hollywood Psychos PRP100016 . Recorded from August 2013 to July 2014 . Originally to be released in August 2014 the cd was delayed until the completion of the bonus ep "Blood On The Red , White and Blue" . " I wrote the music for most of the 12 songs in spring 2013" says Mike , I wanted to use different styles for each song . I needed the variety after the straight up psychobilly of Hollywood Psychos" . I had a batch of new tunes and started recording the rhythm tracks in June , I was in New York City for The Psychobillys 2013 reunion on July 15 at the Fish Bar ,that's where I wrote the basic lyrics in NY '. "In Another World" kicks off the cd with a great mid period Beatles Harmony and Byrds like riff about a relationship that breaks down because of outside forces . " Calling You " rocks in Dave Brubeck 5/4 time with Beach Boys harmonies and Brian Wilson like falsetto on the chorus . " Gemini Girl " the single is a minor key REM/Big Star like track with clever use of the signs of the zodiak . The John Lennon Imagine era sounding " Time " is one of Mike's finest songs with soaring falsetto and heartfelt vocals . The Psychobilly " She's So Far Gone , was written for the Hollywood Psychos cd but wasn't used . " I rearranged the song to fit the feel of Another World " . The country rock " How long " recalls The SweetheartHeart Of The Rodeo era Byrds before going into a Beach Boys Pet Sounds bridge . The 80's sounding Who/ B52s " I Can Make You Mine rocks along nicely followed by " It's The Feeling" calls to mind Paul McCartney and Wings and in the style of earlier Mike Lennon songs like " Psycho Woman " , and "Love Me Tonight " . " I Just Want To Make You Love Me " Brings to mind early Bad Company a nice chunky power pop rocker . " "Never Wanna See You Go " another track left off the Hollywood Psychos album moves along in true Psycho style. " If Your Gonna See Him " where 12 String Rickenbacker meets dance . The closer Psycho Hop closes the album on a fun note. "That was cool in 2000 I had a friend who was doing soundscapes at the Madison Hotel in downtown Phoenix . He made a real primitive electronic 12 bar blues . I added lead guitar , bass , piano and vocals in 2014 . The Folk Punkabilly bonus ep " Blood On The Red , White and Blue" is a 6 song Social commentary on the state of the world since 2001 " . Recorded from July till November 2014 . " I felt the time was right and these six songs worked really well in folk rock type arrangements , ( Ovation 12 string acoustic , 330 Rickenbacker 12 string Fender P bass and drum tracks) . The clarion call title song was written shortly after 9/11. Lyrically it's influenced by Toby Keith's Courtesy Of The Red , White And Blue but a much heavier backing track . The Whole World's Going Psycho came after the Boston Marathon bombing , it started out as a slow 12 bar blues but as the times got worse it speeded up and I've added more recent calamities to the lyrics . ' The Future " a punkabilly rocker with weird harmonies and Chord changes about a seer who says he sees the future . "Trouble In The Air" another song written but not recorded for " Hollywood Psychos " musically inspired by the B52's another song reflecting todays headlines . 'What's The Problem " like the future with weird harmonies and punkabilly chord changes . The closing track " Rise And Shine " is a call to the human race to stand up and live your life to the fullest no matter what's going on in the world . I'm glad to get this ep out in a timely fashion it is relavent today Mike Lennon is a Phoenix Arizona based musician .
