The Crimea chat to I LIKE MUSIC

The Crimea present their debut album 'Tragedy Rocks', a lush and lacerating collection of edgy and melodic cocktails sweetened by sonic ambition and spiked with frontman Davey MacManus' debauched, bitter-funny tales of mean streets, meaner romance, good gin and not-so-good times. The intoxicatingly inventive album is set for release on October 17th on Warner Bros. Records.

Highlights of the album include the carnival-ride lope of 'Lottery Winners On Acid', the hypnotic 'Baby Boom' and the woozy jangle of 'Bad Vibrations'. Throughout, The Crimea succeed in creating a sound instantly identifiable yet utterly unique. In the States, The Crimea have already won favourable comparisons with artists as diverse as the Flaming Lips, Low, Elliott Smith and Leonard Cohen.

I LIKE MUSIC caught up with Davey MacManus for a quick chat ...

"I Like Music because…Otherwise I'd be a crackhhead. " DAVEY, THE CRIMEA

ilm: Tragedy Rocks is out now. Of all the tracks on the album, which did you have the most fun laying down?

Davey: Hell, it was all a drawn out show of histrionics and tantrums, fun is not a word in our dictionary, its more like a need, like fighting in the trenches of the Somme. It's not fun but it gets a result. I suppose because we spend a lot of time making songs it becomes more like work. My favourite to record was "Losing My Hair," we did it over Christmas 2004, at home, it came from nowhere, we recorded it, and that was alomost it, we recorded it again to change the arrangement a bit, then recorded it once more, mixed it in New York and stuck it on the album.
