German rockers FAIR WARNING released their seventh full-length album entitled "Sundancer", in Germany on May 24th, in the rest of Europe on May 27th and in the USA/Canada on June 18th via SPV/Steamhammer. The CD was released in Japan on April 24th through Marquee/Avalon.
Four years after their last studio release, "Aura", a live double DVD (2010) and a best-of album (2011), FAIR WARNING is back with "Sundancer". In all, 15 songs were recorded by the group, whose lineup after 23 years still comprises the founding members Tommy Heart (vocals), Helge Engelke (guitar), Ule Ritgen (bass) and CC Behrens (drums). As usual, "Sundancer" was produced by the FAIR WARNING bandmembers themselves.
"Even if our music can still be classed as melodic rock, the new songs nevertheless document a broader stylistic range than our previous releases," explains Ritgen, adding, "We make a point of avoiding any particular stylistic agenda, we're open to influences from all directions. After all, it doesn't matter what inspires an idea, it'll always end up a typical FAIR WARNING song.”
Both the album title and the sleeve artwork for "Sundancer" are a deliberate nod to "Rainmaker", FAIR WARNING's successful album from 1995 which gave the band its international breakthrough. "Now, as then, the new songs and the record's artwork reflect modern life in an increasingly virtual world where we find ourselves wondering how real our own lives actually are,” explains Ritgen.
For the first time in FAIR WARNING's history, several tracks on "Sundancer" were composed by the whole band together. Ritgen says: "This approach was new to us and it was certainly accompanied by one or two doubts, because you never know if something like that is going to work out. But, to our own surprise, we had an incredible amount of fun, resulting in three excellent songs." The other 12 tracks on the album were penned by Ritgen and Engelke.
