Hooray for Earth - True Loves

2012 debut album by this Manhattan-by-way-of-Boston outfit. Crafted by songwriter/producer/singer Noel Heroux, True Loves is an album of epic yet intimate songs. From the pulsing electronics and pitched down vocal samples of 'Realize It's Not the Sun' to 'The Last Post' style elegy of album closer 'Black Trees', True Loves is born of the personal, political and universal anxieties of contemporary life. · Written, recorded and produced by Heroux over five weeks in Manhattan and Brooklyn with the help of long-time friend, founder member and bassist Christopher Principe, with drummer Joseph Ciampini adding two days of rooftop drum tracking. Joining the line up for backing vox were Jessica and Cristi Jo Zambri from New York industrial synth post punk outfit Zambri. Mixing was handled by Chris Coady (Beach House, Blonde Redhead, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio). Memphis Industries.
