"I think it’s important, you know" the
guitarist and singer breathes out. "To have a point in life, beyond
yourself, beyond your own survival."
The members of the trio seem to float
with a collective disassociation, searching for themselves amid the
levels of emotional soundscapes. Their introspective sound is as
nostalgic as it is effortless, born from desire to forget about loss and
delve into the chaos of their unconscious.
The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club band spent six months in a small Philadelphia apartment creating their last album, Beat the Devil's Tattoo,
growing accustomed to reading each other’s body language and developing
their intuition; their connection is apparent in the fluidity of each
track.
The members did admit to being quite
reserved in public, "It takes a lot of attitude," bassist Robert Levon
Been laughs, commenting on the band’s unexpected success "It’s like
being a bird and having to fluff up your feathers to appear bigger than
you are, but at the end of the day… you’re just playing chicken."
