Melodie
tra il cantautorato eccellente e
vibrante musicalità. Come il buon rock’n’roll dovrebbe, When To Talk And When To Listen,
abbraccia tutti gli aspetti della condizione umana: da un cuore spezzato e un
amore respinto del primo singolo “It Ain’t Right” a canzoni che parlano della
perdita dei proprio cari. Questi i temi che formano il nucleo emotivo
dell’album.
"Anyone can make an album,"
says guitarist Dave Lang. "But we
knew this record had to be good."

Every song has a story. With Current
Swell’s forthcoming release, When To Talk And When To Listen (out
May 12 via Nettwerk Records), these stories cut deep.
Grammy-winning producer Jacquire
King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, Norah Jones, Cold War Kids, Of Monsters and
Men, James Bay) produced the album over four weeks in two vastly
different locales: Nashville and Vancouver. During the first night at
Nashville’s famed Blackbird Studios, King
cut short the sessions and told the band to come back when they had something
worthwhile to say. A blunt, band-only meeting quickly cured what ailed them.
The four friends returned the following day ready to create. “He said we’d finally tapped into that spark
he heard in the very first demos we sent him,” recalls lead singer Scott Stanton. “And we knew he was right.
It helped create trust. He knew as much about the songs as we did.”
Like all good rock ‘n’ roll should, When To Talk And When To Listen
touches on all facets of the human condition, from the heartbreak and spurned
love of first single “It Ain’t Right”
to songs about the loss of parents that form the emotional core of the album.
"Marsha" is about the
inner dialogue Stanton often has with his mother, a piano teacher who died at
46 of breast cancer when he was in Grade 9. "She is still part of me in a
way, so I often talk to her when I need advice,” he says. "I feel like my
mom would be really proud of it.”
Band member Dave Lang wrote
title track “When To Talk And When To
Listen” when his father-in-law was nearing the end of his life. Lang and
his wife were getting ready to welcome their first child around the same time,
which felt like a cruel twist of fate. After taking stock of the reality he was
facing, Lang says the words came pouring out.
Current
Swell has a
proven track record - two singles from 2014’s Ulysses hit
No. 1 on iTunes Canada’s rock chart, both landing Top 10 on the commercial rock
charts in Canada. "For Ulysses, we jammed all
the songs, went in the studio and played them," Stanton says. "For this, we started from scratch. We dissected
everything. Out of any album we've done, this one really captured what I was
hearing in my head." “It Ain’t
Right” is an apt example. Stanton infuses the album’s lead single with a
keen eye for relationship details, the band rumbling away beneath him as it
reaches an apex. “I thought you were different,” Stanton
sings, highlighting the narrator’s serious interconnectivity issues. “I thought
you were cool, but it ain’t right.”
The group as whole found a new level
of confidence on the recording. Some of that can be credited to King, who pushed Current Swell to find a new side of their artistic selves, Stanton says: “He was like a coach."
A solid fanbase has taken the group across North America several times
and into countries such as Brazil, where a pair of headline tours brought them
to thousands of rabid fans. "We're very comfortable in certain parts of
the world with our success," Lang
says. "But I know this record is one that can take us to new places."
Now, it is time for Current Swell to push back. Lang says the group will
take its music to the world this year, showcasing the heart and soul it took to
create When To Talk And When To Listen.
"Anyone
can make an album," he said. "But we knew this record had to be
good."
Members: Scott Stanton (lead vocals/guitars), Dave
