Cosmic Egg is the upcoming second studio album by Australian hard rock band Wolfmother, due to be released on 23 October 2009.[1] It will be the first album released by the second lineup of the band,[2] featuring bassist and keyboardist Ian Peres, guitarist Aidan Nemeth and drummer Dave Atkins,[3] formed after original members Chris Ross and Myles Heskett left in August 2008.[4][5]

The album was recorded between April and May 2009 at Sound City Studios[2] and Sunset Sound Studios[6] in Los Angeles, California. The title of the album comes from a position in yoga described by vocalist and guitarist Andrew Stockdale as "like the fetal pose."[2] The album's release will be followed by a world tour beginning in November.[7][8][9] The first song released from the album was the promotional digital download single "Back Round" on 2 June 2009; "New Moon Rising" was the first full single release from Cosmic Egg, on 25 August 2009.

History

Background

Mention of a follow-up to the band's 2005 debut studio album, Wolfmother, began shortly after its international releases in 2006. In August, music magazine NME revealed that the band were discussing ideas for their second album, quoting Stockdale as saying "I feel like we’ve got a lot more to say."[10] In January, MTV reported that "Wolfmother celebrated the news of their Grammy nomination last month by writing a new song, which they've since recorded."[11] The song, then known as "Love Attacker" and "about people who use love as a weapon to manipulate and get their way through desire,"[11][12] later evolved into "Pleased to Meet You" and was featured on Spider-Man 3: The Official Soundtrack released on 1 May 2007.[13] In revealing the news, MTV also suggested fall 2007 as the beginning of the recording process, quoting Andrew Stockdale as saying:

We do have a lot of jams, like incoherent pieces of music, that at least could get the ball rolling [...] And I have a few ideas I've been working on in hotels and stuff, which is kind of the way half of the record was written last time. Sometimes it can be a long process and sometimes it happens really quickly, so you just have to keep the fishing net open for ideas and hope that you catch a few.[11][12]

In February, NME reported that Wolfmother "feel good about the second record," explaining that the band wanted to make their follow-up to Wolfmother heavier, "more relentless and in your face."[14] After more touring and a brief period of inactivity with few updates regarding new material, Rolling Stone reported in November 2007 that "Wolfmother are hard at work on a new album."[15] Speaking on the upcoming album, Stockdale explained that "It's kind of cinematic, and it's kind of epic," going on to suggest that "there’s also this fully aggressive side that’s undeniably explosive."[15][16] Among ten songs "ready to go," Stockdale revealed the name "Back Home",[15][16] which would eventually evolve into "Back Round".

The first new original material, since the release of "Pleased to Meet You" in 2007, appeared during the band's first performance in nine months at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art (QGMA) on 12 April 2008 in the form of four new songs:[17] "Back Round" (the previously mentioned "Back Home"), "The Violence of the Sun", "Monolith" and "Inside the Mountain".[18] With increasing discussion of Wolfmother's second album, rumours began to emerge in August 2008 that the band was due to split up; various sources suggested that the trio were experiencing tensions after their performance at Splendour in the Grass, Byron Bay on 3 August and that a statement was going to be released by their management.[19][20][21][22] The following statement was released to radio station Triple J upon the band's lack of appearance at a scheduled interview:

The band is dealing with some internal issues at the moment. They’re hoping to resolve them in the next few weeks but in the meantime it just wouldn’t be appropriate for any member to be doing any interviews – even with triple j.[23]

The statement made by manager John Watson at the time was as follows:

Unfortunately I can't make any comment other than to say that as soon as the band has clear future plans they will issue a statement and we hope to be able to do that in the next week or two.[21]

Within days of the rumours surfacing, reports were updated to make the breakup official; bassist and keyboardist Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett departed Wolfmother immediately due to "longstanding frictions."[4] Universal Music Australia released a statement explaining that Ross departed first, due to "irreconcilable personal and musical differences", followed almost immediately by Heskett who was not willing to continue as part of a new line-up.[4][5][24] Stockdale, however, promised fans that he would continue the Wolfmother monicker by finding new members to replace the departed co-founders.[4][5][24] It was subsequently reported by the band's record label, Modular Recordings, that "Wolfmother Phase II" would record their first album with producer Dave Sardy ready for an "early 2009" release.[25]

Wolfmother performing at The Valley Studios, Brisbane on 6 February 2009.

After a number of rumours regarding new members, Wolfmother re-appeared in February 2009, performing under the alias "White Feather"; two low-key gigs were played on 6 February at The Valley Studios, Brisbane and 8 February at Oxford Art Factory, Sydney with new, unidentified musicians accompanying Stockdale.[26][27] Following the performances, the new members of Wolfmother, who had officially joined the band on 5 January 2009,[28] were confirmed as guitarist Aidan Nemeth, bassist and keyboardist Ian Peres and drummer Dave "Acosta" Atkins and a new song called "Pilgrim" was mentioned.[3] Other songs debuted at the two low-key comeback performances included "White Feather", "Phoenix", "Far Away" and "10,000 Ft.", complemented by the previously performed "Back Round" and "The Violence of the Sun", as well as Wolfmother 'classics'.[29][30] In an interview with Triple J in February, Stockdale mentioned a number of songs being considered for the new album – "Pilgrim", "Phoenix", "Back Round", "The Violence of the Sun" and the previously and subsequently unmentioned "Sun Dial".[31] He also revealed that there were seventeen new songs written for the album, due to begin recording in March, which he described as "heavy" and "riff driven."[32]

Recording and production

Stockdale began recording early versions of new songs in his home-based studio before new members were officially unveiled.[33] With subsquent comeback performances made on 14 and 22 March at Sound Relief and Clipsal 500, the first official material released by "Wolfmother Phase II" was a studio version of "Back Round", made available as a free digital download on the band's official website on 30 March.[34][35][36] Stockdale began using his Twitter profile in April, with his first update on 9 April confirming recording progression by revealing that the band were "Onto the 9th song tracking drums, looks like this will be a double album spectacular."[37] On 11 April, Stockdale revealed that they had "Tracked the 14th song,"[38] and by 15 April the band had tracked the drums on all eighteen songs.[39] The title of the album was revealed as Cosmic Egg by NME in April, who also revealed that the album would contain eighteen songs including "White Feather", "The Violence of the Sun" and the title track.[2][40] On 1 May, Wolfmother performed at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, debuting new songs "Cosmic Egg" and "California Queen".[41] Beginning in late-April,confirmation began spreading that ex-Guns N' Roses and current Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash was to join the band in recording their new album.[42] It is currently unclear whether the collaboration will be featured on Cosmic Egg, Slash's debut solo album Slash & Friends, both or neither, but Stockdale described the performance as "a great jam with Slash and his crew," adding that "we may well have an epic on our hands, with a monumental solo of course!"[43] Stockdale later uploaded a picture of Slash playing acoustic guitar, to further confirm the performance.[44]

On 9 May, Stockdale reported on his Twitter page that the band had "3 more songs to go, of 17 songs," adding that "this is an endurance test, though the horizon seems closer."[45] Later, he notified readers that he was "About to shred the solo on White Feather," describing it as "possibly the greatest song written since Womac[k] and Womac[k]'s "Foot Steps" Yes!"[46] On 15 May, Stockdale reported that the title track, "Cosmic Egg", had been completed, describing it as "a rollicking viking song!"[47] On 16 May, Stockdale hinted at the prominence of a string section on the song "10,000 Ft." by revealing that "Dave [Atkins] has done some amazing string arrangements for 10,000 feet, he's a talented guy!"[48] Shortly after this update, a link was posted on the Twitter page to a montage video of the band recording and mixing some songs on the album, including "Back Round" and "Pilgrim".[49][50] On 20 May, Stockdale reported that the album was near to completion, stating that there are "Ten songs down, Seven to go," adding "we're in double album territory now. It's a vast album."[51] On 22 May, another Twitter update revealed that "tomorrow [23 May] we may well be finished! Then 4 weeks of mixing!"[52] On 30 May, Stockdale reported that the band were "leaving L.A tonight [...] with Album in hand," confirming that recording for Cosmic Egg had been completed.[53]

Cosmic Egg was mixed in Pasadena, California shortly after the recording of the album, by Stockdale, Moulder and Joe Barresi.[33] On 18 June, Stockdale reported that he had "Just heard a mixed and mastered version of Cosmic Egg the song," describing it as "of[f] the Richter Scale."[54] In the tweet, he also revealed that the album would be released on 13 October 2009.[54] On 3 August, Stockdale revealed that he had "Just recorded some B Sides at Electric Ladyland, Jimi Hendrix's studio in N.Y.," adding that the recordings "Sounds amazing," with a "great vibe!"[55]

Style and direction

In revealing details of the album to NME in April 2009, Stockdale compared Cosmic Egg to the band's debut album, Wolfmother, by explaining that "Everything is magnified. The heaviness is magnified to heavier state. The simple ones are really simplistic, two-minute songs, and the journey songs are like 12 parts."[2] Speaking on the collaboration with guitarist Slash, Stockdale described the song as "WM [Wolfmother] meet G'n'R [Guns N' Roses]," adding that "both styles really compliment each other."[56] In a pre-release interview with Andrew Stockdale, Australian version of music magazine Rolling Stone described the album as "vintage Wolfmother," mentioning features and qualities such as "distorted, frenetic, bass-heavy sounds of 'White Feather'" and "the epic 'In the Morning'."[33] MTV hint at the style of the album, suggesting that "Tunes like 'California Queen' and 'Sundial' chug along on meaty chords, dive into sludgy breakdowns and sizzle with Stockdale's flame-kissed solos."[57] Writer James Montgomery goes on to add that "'Far Away' and 'Pilgrim' are moody, fog-machine ruminations on astral planes and mythic realms, floating on pealing organ lines and stony synths."[57]

In August 2009, Spin published a track-by-track review of Cosmic Egg, revealing the following song descriptions:

"California Queen" [...] From the first head-banging riff, to Andrew Stockdale's Ozzy-with-his-balls-in-a-vice vocals, to bongy, fantastic lyrics about "Standing in front of the rainbow" and "Homegrown hydroponics," Wolfmother still parties like it's backstage at a Uriah Heep show in 1972. [...] "White Feather" [...] Where the first two tracks leaned toward metal with their thick distortion and wailing vocals, "Feather" sits more towards the hard rock side of things. [...] "Sundial" A simple rocker. The song kicks off with a funky, Hendrix-y guitar lick and some one note piano plinking. [...] "Cosmic Egg" The bluesiest track so far. [...] "Far Away" [...] If "In the Morning" was power-ballad-as-psychedelic-rainbow, then "Far Away" is its prom-friendly cousin. [...] "Pilgrim" Very reminiscent of "Woman." [...] "Violence of the Sun" [...] A tense, mid-tempo keyboard part kicks things off. Guitar licks slither around a skittering hi-hat. [...] The bass doubles the guitar. [...] The drum rolls come fast and heavy. Stockdale's voice reaches into a higher register [...] through to the conclusion of this fittingly epic album closer.[58]

Release and promotion

After being tipped for a release in September,[2][8][40] Cosmic Egg was confirmed as being due for release on 13 October 2009,[54] possibly as a double album.[37][59][60] Replying to a fan's query on Twitter, Stockdale confirmed that the album "will be [released] on vinyl [sic] with some beautiful artwork!"[61] The band announced that they would begin touring in November,[7][8][9] as well as supporting fellow Australian hard rock band AC/DC at a number of dates on the Australia/New Zealand leg of their Black Ice World Tour, beginning in February 2010.[9][60] The release date of 13 October was later confirmed to be that of the United States, while Japan (8 October), Germany, New Zealand (both 9 October), Europe (12 October) and the band's native Australia (also 9 October) would receive the album earlier.[62]

In July 2009, it was announced that the band would be completing a national tour of Australia in September, the New Moon Rising Tour, prior to the release of Cosmic Egg, showcasing much of the new material.[63][64][65] On 17 July, Stockdale announced that the band would tour the United States before the end of 2009, in October or November;[66][67] later in the day, he confirmed that Wolfmother would also visit the United Kingdom and Europe later in the year.[68] It was later revealed that the band would be supporting American alternative rock band The Killers on the North American leg of their Day & Age Tour, prior to their Australian New Moon Rising Tour.[69]

On 27 July, the album was played in full at the newly-opened Laserium CyberTheater in Hollywood, California.[70] This was first hinted at by Stockdale on 22 July when he revealed that "Los Angeles – Your time has come. 7/27 is your chance to join in on a very exclusive Cosmic event;"[71] a competition was later opened to allow 20 Wolfmother fans from Los Angeles to attend the event and "hear Cosmic Egg, in full and FIRST."[72] The track listing was revealed by a fan and Laserium attendant the next day.[73]

On the subject of music videos or a possible full movie companion to the album, Stockdale revealed that "We want to do a film clip for every song—just like a total visual thing for the whole record," adding that "I don't know if it'll be a linear thing where it has a script or anything like that but we'll definitely try to create some interesting footage to go with this record."[74] On 10 August 2009, a Wolfmother blog on MySpace revealed that the first single from the album would be "New Moon Rising", available on 5 October worldwide.[62] The news also came with the official revelation of the track listing, as well as information regarding album formats and release dates.[62]

The artwork for Cosmic Egg was revealed on 12 August 2009.[75] On 26 August, a video was uploaded to the band's official YouTube page entitled "Transmissions From The COSMIC EGG - Episode 1," revealed to be "The first of a series of behind the scenes looks at the forthcoming Wolfmother opus," in which "Episode 1 travels the open high-way to Byron Bay where much of the record was born and pre-production took place."[76][77]

In September, Cosmic Egg was delayed further "to allow [the band and management] more time to complete the artwork and manufacture the various release configurations."[1]

Reception

According to the majority of pre-release reviews and interviews, Cosmic Egg has been generally well-received among music critics. Tiffany Bakker of Rolling Stone magazine describes the songs on the album as "vintage Wolfmother – heavy Sabbath-esque riffs and heaving basslines mixed with the distinctive wail of Andrew Stockdale that all add up to something racous and thrilling."[33] In another pre-release interview with Stockdale, music website Artistdirect summarised the album as "a powerful and poignant rock n' roll record with all the ingredients of a modern classic."[74] Writer Rick Florino goes on to describe specifics – "unforgettable riffs on 'Pilgrim' and 'Sun Dial'" and "the infectious hook on 'New Moon Rising'."[74] Florino also identifies "Pilgrim" as "lyrically [...] stand[ing] out," describes "Sundial" as "like one of those crazy Black Sabbath stories" and outlines the bass performance as "pretty killer."[74] MTV writer James Montgomery explains that "Cosmic Egg shouts very loudly, showcasing the added punch of three new musicians [...] and taking everything that made Wolfmother's self-titled debut such a smash — namely, gut-busting riffs, incendiary solos and bong-glazed mysticism — and cranking it to the absolute maximum."[57]
