I mean, it is always a pleasure performing in Japan since it’s a fantastic and very dedicated audience, always have been. “I remember both the concert we did while being there as absolutely great fun with a very loud and enthusiastic crowd. “After all, the decision to record it in Japan was kind of obvious since Japan has been one of our strongest markets since the ‘80s by all means, and we never filmed any live stuff there,” says singer Ronnie Atkins. The band decided to record and film a live performance of the album in Tokyo, Japan where the band was set to play on two nights in November of 2018. "The thing I want people to take from this record is that your feelings are valid and your experiences are real and important.Описание: To celebrate “Future World”’s 30th Anniversary, over the course of 2017-18 Pretty Maids hit the road to play the album in its entirety to mark therelease of this landmark album in their discography. "This record is important to us," says Taylor. With the writing of "Sorcery" being catalyzed by personal and shared experiences between Ragone and Taylor, the two have chosen to make this the debut release on their own label "Bangs and Burns." Those sounds merge with their more fast-paced songs that pull from both 70s proto-metal and 90s indie rock. Reverb-soaked guitars and vocals are reminiscent of both the post punk and shoegaze influences of Ragone while also drawing from the British folk obsession of Taylor. Throughout the duration of the album, there are musical and lyrical through-lines that both tell a story, and show off Exmaid's varied sonic abilities. The album title "Sorcery" came into existence due to this connection and the coincidences that came up during songwriting. With writing happening during tumultuous times in both Larry Ragone (guitarist) and Taylor's personal lives, they agreed to be as open with each other as possible and use these songs to work through their shared experiences.
On "Sorcery," the band composed ten songs together resulting in a more cohesive session than with their 2018 debut "Fair Sex." "The album Sorcery is largely about the inexplicable and otherworldly connections we can feel with one another," Exmaid lead singer and guitarist Miranda Taylor admits, "and about relationships beginning and ending."Įxmaid began as a songwriting vehicle for Miranda Taylor with the three members of post punk band Psychic Teens backing her.
