Kiwi musician and songwriter Jeremy Redmore will release his debut solo album, Clouds Are Alive, on Friday, July 25.
Self-written, self-produced and self-managed, the album was formulated in a very collaborative way. Before heading to the studio, Redmore involved his fans in the creative process by publicly posting numerous bedroom demos online to gather feedback and make the task of selecting the tracks to record in studio easier.
He then delved into the immensely talented stocks of local Kiwi musicians to record the songs. Two songs, One Day Alone and Waimarino, were recorded with highly-acclaimed producer Wayne Bell at Roundhead Studio before Redmore took the helm himself on the remaining tracks at Dave Dobbyn's Red Trolley Studio in Grey Lynn. The resulting songs were then mixed by Wellington's Simon Gooding before being placed in the expert hands of New York's Emily Lazar for mastering.
Clouds Are Alive features Redmore's first single, Bad Philosophy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52LN0zD9Xqw&list=PL66C9AFC409D64103 which is available to purchase now from iTunes http://bit.ly/1p1jgw4.
Run Run, the second single from the album will be serviced to radio next Monday. Check out a special, acoustic demo, as a teaser here http://youtu.be/X0e5t-7PeD4.
Redmore shot to fame as the frontman of acclaimed rock act Midnight Youth who released their debut album The Brave Don't Run in 2009, (debuted at #2 on the New Zealand Top 40 Album Chart and achieved Platinum certification). A year after Midnight Youth released their second album, World Comes Calling, Redmore announced that he was leaving the band to explore a more personal musical journey. His first solo single, Bad Philosophy which was released earlier this year, became a Top 40 NZ Radio Hit and he also opened for Ed Sheeran at an iHeart Radio showcase in Auckland in April.
Clouds Are Alive will be released on Friday, July 25.
