(con probabile copertina)
Today (Feb 22nd), progressive-alternative rock band dredg revealed their 
upcoming full-length studio album Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy will be 
released on May 3, 2011 in the US. Along with the release date news, 
Dredg unveiled the cover art for Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy.
The art consists of a blonde Caucasian female with a full left arm 
tattoo sleeve wearing nothing but a white tank top, and underwear. She 
is standing against a white background, and has a somewhat creepy, yet 
intriguing mask.
The artwork is simple, yet eye drawing and I found myself staring trying 
to figure out if she is wearing a mask, or the yellow face is photo 
shopped onto her face.
On the flip side, their album title Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy is somewhat 
bizarre, especially for someone to hear that is not familiar with Dredg. 
Isn't that what releasing a new album is all, finding new fans with 
every tour, and every release. Well, if you are getting to know Dredg 
for the first time will you think the album title is a joke, or be 
intrigued?
The album Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy will be the bands fifth studio album 
and it is said to be completely different from everything dredg have 
ever done before.
It took the band members almost eight months of exchanging song-material 
via e-mail to finish the album--a process producer Dan The Automator 
(Gorillaz, Kasabian, etc.) was also involved in right from the early 
beginnings.  His influence becomes most apparent in the songs “The 
Tent,” “Sun Goes Down” and “Before it Began” where he also took an 
active part in the songwriting.
Even though there is a lot of variation in tones and tempo, singer Gavin 
sums up the general sound of Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy as “Dark Pop”:  a 
dark undertone is giving the songs some kind of a contemplative 
self-analysis – but in the end the album is still characterized by its 
optimism.  “There is certain darkness to it,” Gavin agrees.  “A lot of 
our music is ultimately positive but can be conceived as sad as well. 
It has these two sides that oppose each other, but manage to reconcile 
in the music.”
The last 15 years of development brought dredg to an unexpected, yet 
welcomed point in their career.  “For me this is a renewal kind of 
record,” Gavin says.  “It feels different and in some ways it feels like 
a new band. That was my goal when working with the band and with Dan--to 
make something we’d never done.  Hopefully people can see the band in a 
new light.  We can mold to different things and there is a future for 
the band when it comes to creating.”
No tour dates have been announced, but be on the look out!

Da notare come continui a rispondere alle mie risposte...un nuovo mito
all'orizzonte. LOL
p.s. anche Catch aveva un paio di brani penosi, però si manteneva su
livelli alti.
