Music News - Eden Mulholland Announces Release Of New Album - Hunted Haunted
07 August 2015 - 0 Comments
Multi-instrumentalist and composer Eden Mulholland will release his eagerly awaited new album Hunted Haunted on August 28th. A special launch show in Auckland is also confirmed to celebrate the opening of the 2015 Going Global Summit.
Hunted Haunted is Eden Mulholland’s follow up to his debut solo album Feed The Beast which received critical acclaim with its 2012 release.
As the title suggests, Hunted Haunted features songs that are variously on the run and according to Eden, needed some grooming or training touches to harness their strengths. He found the perfect collaboration in New York working with producer, Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, PJ Harvey) together with recording engineer, Neil Baldock (Kayne West, Common, Crowded House). Victor’s input played a pivotal role in drawing out more groove in the songs, encouraging me to let the melody soar over the instrumentation rather than competing with other elements that were all striving for the lead."
Later in Los Angeles he worked with Neil Baldockto track the album and a further "grooming" of his songs took place aided by the virtuoso drumming of Nick Gaffaney (Caro Knife Fight). It was a "sleep-deprived joyous collaboration" which left its mark on each and every Hunted Haunted song.
Current single The New Old Fashioned “is one of those rare songs that was written very quickly, everything about the production seemed to fall into place like magic”. First single from the album ‘Utopia’ was written around a driving, cyclic and raw acoustic guitar riff. The song explores themes of nostalgia, lost love, new love and camaraderie.
For an artist who instinctively puts things together that don’t at first glance belong, it is fitting that there is a wild quality to the playing and vocal delivery of Hunted Haunted. These songs, whatever their haunted or hunted lyrical bent, run out of the gates with what Eden admits is a "a shamelessly poignant lust for life."
