NEW MUSIC: Barry Adamson – Destination (Mush remix)
I didn’t know what to expect from this Barry Adamson remix. Sometimes his stuff is brilliant, other times simply rather dull. This one is… confusing.
Starts in an electronic rock vein, with goth eyeliner and terrible, cliched lyrics. Then it goes all happy clappy piano. Then jazz piano and finally back to electronic rock and the cycle starts again. Odd, but not in a good way.
Blurb: The legendary Barry Adamson (The Bad Seeds, Magazine) is releasing his 10th solo studio album, I Will Set You Free, via Central Control on February 14th, and today he’s sharing the Mush remix of the lead single, “Destination,” which gives the roaring garage rock anthem even more of a kick, complete with sweeping synths on top of Adamson’s signature fuzzed out bass and guitar work. You can also still grab the album version of “Destination” via Barry’s official site, and check out its visually stunning video! 34 years after the first album he played on (the seminal Magazine’s post-punk classic Real Life), Barry has made an album that touches on the sonic stepping stones he’s used year by year to pave his way to the present. The memories and experience from performing and taking his work across the world with Magazine, the Bad Seeds, Iggy Pop, The Gun Club really come to life on the album.
