Dave Stewart’s new album “The Way It Was Back Then” is now available digitally at all platforms. The highly personal new album is inspired by his childhood growing up in Sunderland, England.
From GratefulWeb.com:
Recorded at Stardust in the Bahamas, “The Way It Was Back Then” was written and produced entirely by Dave Stewart and built almost entirely from spontaneous, one-take performances. With no lyrics written down beforehand, Stewart sang, played guitar, and improvised melodies in real time, handling vocals, guitar, keyboard, and programming.
His longtime engineer and collaborator Jesse Samler played bass, drums, keyboard, and programming alongside him. Samler also handled the album’s layout. The two then built out the remainder of each song together and mixed the record themselves.
The result is an intimate, unfiltered album centered on memory, survival, love, loss, loyalty, betrayal, and the strange feeling of still being here after all of it.
In addition, Dave has released a new app entitled “Art of Chaos”, a state-of-the-art production which takes you into his 90’s London apartment and lets you explore the various rooms which are chocked full of all sorts of rare goodies – videos, photos and music. It is now available for download for IOS and Android. Check out the pictures below.
