static roots presents: Jesse Malin @ Zentrum Altenberg, Oberhausen – 03.11.2021

„Dieses ist für die Überlebenden, die Träumer, die Abbrecher und die Gläubigen“, sagte Jesse Malin über sein neues Doppelalbum "Sad and Beautiful World", das am 24. September 2021 bei Wicked Cool Records erscheint. „Meine Musik drehte sich immer um Wiedergeburt und Erlösung. 'Sad and Beautiful World' ist für diejenigen, die die Bruchstücke aufheben und im Wahnsinn Schönheit finden.“

Das Album ist der Nachfolger von "Sunset Kids" aus dem Jahr 2019. Malins erfolgreiches Album, das von Lucinda Williams und Tom Overby produziert wurde.

Am 03. November 2021 kommt Jesse Malin mit seiner Band ins Zentrum Altenberg nach Oberhausen und stellt sein neues Werk vor.

Aus seiner aktuellen Biographie:

"Jesse Malin— whom the London Times says “writes vivid songs with killer tunes and sings them with scary conviction”— and Lucinda Williams— the southern troubadour once named “America’s best songwriter” by Time magazine— first met in the early 2000s at a jazz club in NYC’s West Village. In a joint 2017 Rolling Stone interview, the two discussed their “shared love of miscreants, misfits, the misunderstood and the mysteries of everyday lives binds them across the Mason-Dixon line.”

“From the early frontier days of hardcore in New York to all the punk rock and singer/songwriter touring,” says Malin, “it’s all been about survival and reinvention. I wanted to make an open-sounding record with the space to tell these stories. I like to write about characters and people I meet along the way. The dreamers, schemers, hustlers, romantics, lovers, leavers and believers.” Many of the dreamers, schemers and so on from Jesse’s own life contribute to Sunset Kids, his new album of highly personal songsbeing released August 30 on Wicked Cool Records.

Sunset Kids first took shape at The Hollywood Bowl, when Jesse accepted Lucinda’s invitation to see her open for what turned out to be Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ final concert. The bittersweet experience inspired one of the new album’s highlights, “Shining Down,” a rainy day jangle about “keeping alive the spirits of the ones we’ve lost.” During that same visit, the idea came about of three-time Grammy-winning Lucinda producing Jesse’s next record.

“Lucinda has a great eye for finding the beauty in broken things and a knack for always picking the right take. Once she started dancing in the control room, we knew we had it.”
