Amusement Parks on Fire Announce New Album
. Recorded with the help of producers Michael Patterson (Great Northern, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Beck's Midnite Vultures) and Nic Jodoin during a yearlong stay in Los Angeles, Road Eyes was an attempt to channel the bands love of both sonic adventurism and classic songwriting in to one fat free forty five minute fever dream of a pop record. With a sound perhaps fittingly termed stargaze (which is not to be confused with shoegaze), the tracks that make up the new album are a colossal rush of massed guitars, voices, drums, keyboards and strings that burn with urgency and soar with sumptuous lyricism -- while packing a visceral punch not unlike the feral punk that inspired the band back in the day. Whereas the band's past albums were recorded in such exotic locales as Iceland and self-produced by the band's founder Michael Feerick and longtime band mate guitarist Daniel Knowles, the idea on Road Eyes was to craft a classic L.A. rock album of sorts; the album's title refers to one of Feerick's heroes, Neil Young, who in Feerick's view epitomizes the best raw fusion of innovation and accessibility.
