Les membres de la tournée Volta se sont retrouvés pour des sessions live en Californie en avril et à Londres en juin au studio Olympic, comme l’avait annoncé Jonas Sen sur son blog. Les nouveaux arrangements d’anciens morceaux mais aussi de certains titres issus de Volta feront l’objet d’une sortie au nom de code : live session album. L’info a été confirmée par le site officiel et relayer par billboard.com.
Aucune tracklist n’est annoncée pour le moment mais l’album devrait sortie avant la fin de l’année.
« I started with arranging my old stuff to brass, seeing what of it would work. A lot of the songs that were previously done with strings turned out even better with brass. Having a keyboardist means I can do songs with harpsichord, clavichord, celeste and voice only — the more lyrical side of my songs.
But having two guys on electronics and one drummer means that I can go as macho as it is possible for me (and) do the hooligan songs. The brass helps out, with that obviously being quite ’butch,’ but also makes it easy for me to do musically complex numbers. So overall the importance is on dynamism — really, really quiet songs and really, really loud ones. »
