TICK TICK BOOM
Exploding digitally from 1st October and on CD and 7” from the 8th on Polydor.
The Hives return with the first single from their highly-anticipated new record “The Black and White Album”. A Dennis Herring produced track, “Tick Tick Boom” blasts any doubts about the magnificence of The Hives new material right out the water. Showcased among a handful of great new songs, and dapper new “Ivy League Hives” blazers, at the riotous 100 Club and Hoxton Bar & Kitchen July shows in London, “Tick Tick Boom” is already a proud highlight of The Hives explosive live set.
“The Black and White Album” is a record of inhuman proportions, recorded all over the world “because we thought it was time to have other people involved besides ourselves and our closest friends”. After some initial recording at Hive Manor, for the first time The Hives ventured outside of Sweden to put music to tape. The majority of the album was recorded in Mississippi with producer Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello). They also met with Pharrell Williams in Miami and “made some music with him too”. A week in London at the historic Olympic studios with Jacknife Lee also bore fruit. Back home another song was recorded with fellow Swede Tomas Oberg from the band bob hund. All in all, a lot of songs, and more than enough great ones to choose from.
