As the release for their long-awaited new album approaches, Lifetime‘s Dan Yemin has posted a new blog discussing the sound of the record as well as filling out the list of record release shows.
We have a new album coming out in two weeks. We wrote the songs in 6 months, as opposed to the two years it took to write “Jersey’s Best Dancers”. We recorded the album in three weeks, as opposed to the three days it took to record “Hello Bastards”. As you can see, some things are different, and some things are the same.
I feel like the music, and relationships between the five of us that fuel that music, have remained much the same, but hopefully have matured too. Same old super-fast hardcore pop songs. Same weird mix of Gorilla Biscuits, Jawbreaker, Green Day, Elvis Costello & the Attractions, 7 Seconds, Dag Nasty. Same less-obvious-but-no-less-intense obsessions with the Smiths, the Cure, Superchunk, Weezer. Same themes of love and loss, & love of music. New themes as well.
