Ryan Adams Blackhole Raritan Park
He scored the Halloween anthem ‘The Monster Mash’ in 1962. Listen: Ryan Adams releases 'Destroyer' in advance of 'Cardinals' set By - Double-disc 'Cardinals III/IV' gets a December releaseFriday, Nov 19, 2010 8:17 PMAside from that 'Sci-Fi metal' things have been fairly quiet on the solo Ryan Adams front. He helped out Norah Jones on a track, and the same with Weezer.Ring the bell, now, though.
The rocker and folker (and not-so-secret metal and rap lover) has assigned a Dec. 14 release date to 'III/IV,' an double-album of material recorded with his previous band the Cardinals during their 2007 'Easy Tiger' sessions, to be out via Adams' own PAX AM label. And, according to a release, it's a 'concept rock opera about the '80s, ninjas, cigarettes, sex and pizza.' Well, whatever.As an enduring Adams fan - through the jams and the firings and the podcasts and poetry and hiatuses and boring-as-hell last studio effort (sorry) - I'm ready to try out whatever Adams wants to throw at the wall, to see what sticks.One of these is 'Destroyers,' which is not on the 'III/IV' tracklist (below) but is at least a taste of things to come, perhaps. A little trippy, a little soft-rock and totally imperfect, it's a decent tune that sounds somewhat unfinished. Some of the songwriter's best material is when he sounds vulnerable and feral, and that's the MO here.
And forget click-track: this is what comes out of d.cking around in the studio comfortably for a while.There will be limited releases of red and blue vinyl and CDs of 'III/IV,' and the tracks will also be up for sale digitally.Listen here:(uploaded by )Here is the tracklist for 'III/IV': III:Breakdown Into The ResolveDear CandyWastelandUltraviolet LightStop Playing With My HeartLovely And BlueHappy BirthdayKisses Start WarsThe Crystal SkullUsersIV:NoNumbersGracieIcebreakerSewers at the Bottom of the Wishing WellTypecastStar WarsMy Favorite SongP.S.Death And RatsKill The Light.
