Ben Folds - Way To Normal

Columbia Records have released the much-anticipated new album from Ben Folds, Way To Normal. The album, Folds' third as a solo artist since the break up of the Ben Folds Five in 2000, was mostly recorded at his studio in Nashville and produced by Dennis Herring (Elvis Costello, Modest Mouse, The Hives). Featuring Folds on vocals and piano, Way to Normal also features long-time bassist Jared Reynolds and drummer Sam Smith as well as a guest vocal from indie pop heroine Regina Spektor on the album's first single, You Don't Know Me.

Way to Normal is an exuberant, raucous, and sometimes profane mix of sure-fire crowd-pleasers (Hiroshima, Bitch Went Nuts and the frenetically fuzzed-out Dr. Yang), cheerful snark-fests (The Frown Song, Brainwascht), and thoughtful, moving ballads (Cologne, Kylie From Connecticut) that Folds wrote at the end of 2007 following the finalization of a two-year divorce.

But it should not be assumed that Way to Normal is Folds' version of Marvin Gaye's Here My Dear or Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks (though Folds says that in the early stages of recording he came close to calling the album "Blood on the Keyboard").
