Im April erscheint das neue Album “Hey Gary, Hey Dawn” des amerikanischen Mehrfachinstrumentalisten und Schauspielers Caleb Landry Jones bei Sacred Bones. Die proglastige Songsammlung, und rmehr als zwanzig weitere Musikerinnen und Musiker mitwirkten und die dem Künstler zufolge auch gezielt für Live-Aufführungen geschrieben wurde, erscheint mit Jones’ eigenem Artwork in allen gängigen Formaten.
“The music is Jones’s heaviest to date, and though often reticent about direct influences and resistant to categorizations, he weaves a sonic tapestry that hints at punk and grunge elements within his signature kaleidoscopic symphonies. “It’s not for me to say what it is. I’m only here to give it up,” he asserts, emphasizing the individual listening experience. But even though these songs are his most succinct, they are anything but simple. Over 20 talented musicians, including a quartet, contributed to the album, adding layers of depth and complexity to this dynamic collection of songs that seamlessly traverse a multitude of genres. Since his last album Gadzooks Vol. 2 Jones has been steadfast in making visual art, some of which graces the album art for Hey Gary, Hey Dawn. Simultaneously, he has continued to captivate audiences on the big screen, starring in Luc Besson’s acclaimed film Dog man and preparing for multiple roles in 2024. Hey Gary, Hey Dawn is a testament to Caleb Landry Jones’s artistic evolution, demonstrating his ability to push boundaries while maintaining a distinct and indescribable quality.With a blend of intensity, vulnerability, and musical virtuosity, Jones invites listeners to embark on a journey that transcends traditional genres, promising an immersive experience that resonates long after the final note”.
