dave graney and the mistLY  (aka the lurid yellow mist). The album is full of pop rock sensation, flash  and drama and the aforementioned outfit fires at will with a simple but totally drilled arsenal of two electric guitars, bass and drums. It will be the first album of new dave graney songs since “knock yourself out” in 2009.

a few words from dave…

“this bunch of songs was recorded quickly, just the way I like it. Its not about layers of sounds, its just the simple setup of the band in the room and the songs. We knew them all pretty well so every song was put down to the machines with absolute certainty, power and poise. Its got all the flavours and tones about music that I’ve loved.They all came out in this session. . I guess the bedrock tone and attitude of my music is 70s rock.  That’s the west coast american sound in the vocals and my guitar and the r&b grooves and the jazz voicings of the chords. They are all the changes and tempos  that come out of me, naturally. Its pretty upbeat and begins with a  2:40 second song called blues negative that’s over before you know it and doesn’t let up”.

you’ve been in my mind comes out on cd with three extra tracks, demo versions of songs as first put down by dave graney and clare moore. The digital version of the album doesn’t have these tracks but includes the earlier 2012 single “king of the dudes” and two remixes of older dave graney songs, “sometimes you can see yourself” from 2005 and “midnight to dawn” from 2005.The latter features a cameo vocal from fellow traveller Henry wagons.

dave graney and the mistLY  will be touring nationally to promote the album in July.
