1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,973
Speaker 1: from News Talk SIB.

3
00:00:14,213 --> 00:00:20,373
Speaker 2: Seems so had not to be free when you were

4
00:00:23,693 --> 00:00:24,773
Speaker 2: right beside me.

5
00:00:28,533 --> 00:00:29,893
Speaker 3: In the modern world.

6
00:00:30,653 --> 00:00:34,413
Speaker 2: In the modern world, I don't feel anything.

7
00:00:34,853 --> 00:00:35,933
Speaker 3: The modern world.

8
00:00:37,373 --> 00:00:46,493
Speaker 2: I don't feel bad. This is in the modern world.

9
00:00:46,493 --> 00:00:50,013
Speaker 2: It's by Fontaine's DC. We've got a new album out

10
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:53,013
Speaker 2: called Romance. A Stale Clifford is our music reviews. She's

11
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:54,093
Speaker 2: been listening killed.

12
00:00:53,933 --> 00:00:57,453
Speaker 3: Up Ouada morning. I didn't realize the DC, so for

13
00:00:57,733 --> 00:01:00,933
Speaker 3: Dublin City, Oh, to catch up on that, even though

14
00:01:00,973 --> 00:01:03,693
Speaker 3: the Irish boys, I think I have clicked way, but

15
00:01:04,773 --> 00:01:06,853
Speaker 3: because he's an American band called Fontaine as well, so

16
00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:12,733
Speaker 3: don't confuse them. Good yeah, yeah, yeah. So these guys

17
00:01:13,053 --> 00:01:16,213
Speaker 3: were for their first few albums pigeonholed in the post

18
00:01:16,333 --> 00:01:19,973
Speaker 3: punk or punks post punk that's a day kind of

19
00:01:20,173 --> 00:01:21,973
Speaker 3: genre was where they sat, and they used to do

20
00:01:22,053 --> 00:01:25,813
Speaker 3: a lot more of that real punk runge, a lot

21
00:01:25,853 --> 00:01:29,213
Speaker 3: of the yelling and big, real heavy noise and lots

22
00:01:29,253 --> 00:01:32,013
Speaker 3: of that sort of stuff. This album is where I

23
00:01:32,053 --> 00:01:35,813
Speaker 3: feel like they've suddenly found themselves and taken a real

24
00:01:36,013 --> 00:01:38,573
Speaker 3: creative look at this and how to do things A

25
00:01:38,573 --> 00:01:41,893
Speaker 3: little bit differently, which is why like that song there

26
00:01:41,933 --> 00:01:45,173
Speaker 3: in the modern world to me, that's very guitar almost

27
00:01:45,213 --> 00:01:49,533
Speaker 3: old nineties rock, or when you hear it, like maybe

28
00:01:49,573 --> 00:01:51,093
Speaker 3: a little bit U two esque.

29
00:01:51,373 --> 00:01:53,013
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, Peach.

30
00:01:52,853 --> 00:01:54,813
Speaker 3: Shop Boys, which has then taken them back to the eighties,

31
00:01:54,813 --> 00:01:57,453
Speaker 3: But I think that's the guitar leads kind of and

32
00:01:57,613 --> 00:02:01,573
Speaker 3: sound of Greham's voice as the lead vocals. They decided

33
00:02:01,613 --> 00:02:04,453
Speaker 3: to do something different with this album where they they

34
00:02:04,493 --> 00:02:07,733
Speaker 3: looked at every song with a visual aspect, like what

35
00:02:08,173 --> 00:02:10,853
Speaker 3: is happening while this song is happening, what's the weather,

36
00:02:11,093 --> 00:02:15,533
Speaker 3: like who's being chased or followed? Or what's the drama

37
00:02:15,613 --> 00:02:18,973
Speaker 3: around what the song is right before really honing in

38
00:02:19,093 --> 00:02:21,933
Speaker 3: on the instruments. And I think what that's done is

39
00:02:21,973 --> 00:02:25,093
Speaker 3: it's made a lot of the music sound quite cinematic, right,

40
00:02:25,973 --> 00:02:29,373
Speaker 3: like they all have those big, sweeping kind of sounds

41
00:02:29,413 --> 00:02:32,133
Speaker 3: in them, and a lot more layering of the different

42
00:02:32,173 --> 00:02:35,573
Speaker 3: instruments and music. And I also think I just like

43
00:02:35,853 --> 00:02:38,893
Speaker 3: the leed singer Green's voice better in this album too. Yeah,

44
00:02:39,773 --> 00:02:42,373
Speaker 3: you know, there's only so much punk sort of grunge

45
00:02:42,413 --> 00:02:45,853
Speaker 3: stuff to take in the vocals, where this one seems

46
00:02:45,893 --> 00:02:49,133
Speaker 3: more considered, he's trying out some different sort of shapes

47
00:02:49,173 --> 00:02:52,653
Speaker 3: in his vocals and it just makes for some really

48
00:02:52,653 --> 00:02:55,373
Speaker 3: interesting listening. He also I saw an interview where he said,

49
00:02:55,773 --> 00:02:58,693
Speaker 3: when people start to pick up on what your creativity

50
00:02:58,813 --> 00:03:01,133
Speaker 3: story is, it's time to shake it off and start

51
00:03:01,213 --> 00:03:04,053
Speaker 3: something fresh. And I was like, that's kind of cool,

52
00:03:04,093 --> 00:03:06,493
Speaker 3: lay like he doesn't want to be too obvious and

53
00:03:06,533 --> 00:03:08,453
Speaker 3: what it is they're going to do, but also maybe

54
00:03:08,453 --> 00:03:12,573
Speaker 3: that's a great motivator to play a bit more, try

55
00:03:12,613 --> 00:03:14,893
Speaker 3: a bit more, see what else you can do. There's

56
00:03:14,933 --> 00:03:18,893
Speaker 3: some really big tunes on this Starburster has been a

57
00:03:18,893 --> 00:03:22,773
Speaker 3: big single for them again, real dramatic opener, tweakly keys

58
00:03:22,813 --> 00:03:25,413
Speaker 3: over these really heavy bass and drums like stuff that

59
00:03:25,453 --> 00:03:28,693
Speaker 3: you almost don't think go together, but somehow they've fused

60
00:03:28,733 --> 00:03:30,493
Speaker 3: it and it's just it's really good. And it's written

61
00:03:30,493 --> 00:03:34,373
Speaker 3: about experiencing a panic attack at since Pink Crest Station

62
00:03:34,453 --> 00:03:37,453
Speaker 3: in London, right you know that's that's a station where

63
00:03:37,493 --> 00:03:39,533
Speaker 3: they transfer about thirty three million people a.

64
00:03:39,573 --> 00:03:40,533
Speaker 2: Year, so I.

65
00:03:43,573 --> 00:03:46,933
Speaker 3: Think a lot of people will relate to that. Again,

66
00:03:46,973 --> 00:03:48,613
Speaker 3: one of these albums that there's quite a lot of

67
00:03:48,613 --> 00:03:51,093
Speaker 3: pace to it, and I think that's the visual approach

68
00:03:51,133 --> 00:03:53,573
Speaker 3: they've taken to things, but I kind of like it.

69
00:03:53,573 --> 00:03:56,333
Speaker 3: It drives you in this forward sort of thing. And

70
00:03:56,853 --> 00:04:00,733
Speaker 3: also looking at Romance that there's darkness with the light

71
00:04:00,933 --> 00:04:04,533
Speaker 3: and there's sadness, and he likes that, like that's how

72
00:04:04,573 --> 00:04:07,013
Speaker 3: he writes. He'll write a pretty song, but there'll be

73
00:04:07,093 --> 00:04:10,173
Speaker 3: some darks of the lyrics and behind it, and so

74
00:04:10,293 --> 00:04:13,613
Speaker 3: too for the love. And then one of the lines

75
00:04:13,613 --> 00:04:15,813
Speaker 3: in the song Romance, which I think you're going to

76
00:04:15,853 --> 00:04:18,253
Speaker 3: play a bit of, is maybe romance is a place,

77
00:04:19,733 --> 00:04:21,893
Speaker 3: not just a feeling. Maybe it's a place that you

78
00:04:21,933 --> 00:04:25,853
Speaker 3: take yourself to. Okay, thank you for you. Yeah, the

79
00:04:25,853 --> 00:04:27,853
Speaker 3: more I listen, I think, the more I pick out

80
00:04:28,973 --> 00:04:31,453
Speaker 3: what I really enjoy. To me, there's some real standouts

81
00:04:31,453 --> 00:04:35,413
Speaker 3: and it is starburst modern world in Romance, those are

82
00:04:35,453 --> 00:04:37,773
Speaker 3: my favorite singles. Again, I've been listening to it for

83
00:04:37,813 --> 00:04:40,773
Speaker 3: like twelve hours NonStop, So maybe.

84
00:04:40,373 --> 00:04:43,213
Speaker 2: That'll we'll listen to Romance in a couple of minutes.

85
00:04:43,453 --> 00:04:44,973

Speaker 2: did you what did you give it?

87

Speaker 3: Worth a good listen? I think I'm going to give

00:04:47,773 --> 00:04:48,493
Speaker 3: it an eight out of ten.

89
