Fact #184405
When:
Short story:
Cracker release their tenth album, Berkeley To Bakersfield, on the Freeworld division of North London indie imprint Floating World, on Monday, January 19th. The set is a double LP.Full article:
David Lowery (Cracker) : On the Berkeley disc the band is the original Cracker line-up - Davey Faragher, Michael Urbano, Johnny and myself. This is the first time this line-up has recorded together in almost 20 years. We began recording this album at East Bay Recorders in Berkeley, California. For this reason we chose to stylistically focus this disc on the music we most associate with the East Bay: Punk and Garage with some funky undertones. To further match our sense of place we often took an overtly political tone in the lyrics.
The Bakersfield disc represents the ‘California country’ side of the band. Throughout the band’s 24-year history we’ve dabbled in Country and Americana but this time we wanted to pay homage to the particular strain of Country and Country-Rock music that emerges from the inland valleys of California.
