Seattle’s Scarves join us for another edition of Stereo Six, a feature where the band offers the five records (plus one curveball) that helped shape their new album Dinner Dates For The End of Days, released September 28th via Good Eye Records.
When talking with Randy and Jason Sklar by phone, music was a constant topic being referenced. We also covered their comedic documentary Poop Talk and forthcoming audiobook for Audible, Sklars & Stripes.
The Hold Steady has released the first song, “I Hope This Whole Thing Didn’t Frighten You,” from their new album Teeth Dreams, out March 25. Teeth Dreams is the New York band’s sixth album and first on its own Positive Jams imprint via new label Washington Square, itself a newly established imprint formed by Razor & Tie. The album was produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Rush, Evanescence) at Rock Falcon Studios in Franklin, TN, making it the first time the band recorded outside of New York. This is The Hold Steady’s first new music since last year’s Record Store Day 7″ featuring “The Bear and the Maiden Fair” from HBO’s Game of Thrones.
