The brand new KANE album, EVERYTHINGYOUWANT, is NOW available in record stores and on iTunes!!!

--------------

“Reflecting on it I can say we made a free fall the past 2 years. In making this album we use a totally different approach then we used to. EVERYTHINGYOUWANT is cocky, in your face but above all pleasure driven.” Dinand Woesthoff

Fearless, the previous album, and it’s legacy didn’t make it easy for us as a band and personal due to the emotions involved. We’ve closed that door for good now. Dinand: “how a record should sound like is being controlled by your own mind. The essence of KANE has always been: we want to create music, with bucketloads of energy, passion and fun. That hasn’t changed. After Fearless we felt the urge to record a new album which has been driven by pleasure.”

Another factor that’s been of importance is the fact that Dinand opened up himself to influences from outside. “Before I wanted to be in control”, the singer tells, “ I would go like: what? Write songs with others? Are you insane?!”. The guys now embrace new influences and therefore surround themselves with a new flow. Dennis van Leeuwen: We’ve been searching for new things, people, locations that would inspire and motivate us. Our quest lead us to several places, amongst them the States.”

The rumour that KANE recorded the album abroad to conquer the world isn’t true. Dennis: “That’s not a priority at this moment. The past year we’ve been focusing on bringing out the best in ourselves, with some help of other music minded friends. We found them in Holland and in Amerika.”

The new KANE album has been recorded for the most part in New York. The guys got help from producer Scott Jacoby and the city that never sleeps turned out as a source of inspiration for EVERYTHINGOUWANT.

Although recording in NY wasn’t an obvious choice. “I visited the city before. Pavement jungle, shitload of bricks”, Dinand tells. “But this time I got a real taste of the city and immediately was swept away by the drive you feel there. Everybody is on a mission or making it’s dream come true and that drive reflects on the overall mood. The city is just alive. The fact the album sounds like it does has a lot to do with that drive. I just had to write a song about it: New York City Soul. I called up the others and said: I haven’t got anything, just a title and now we’re going to make a track.

That turned out to be the key for the new album, doing everything in reverse. When Dennis and Dinand decided to make the jump and set no boundaries for themselves they really jumped in and let go. The record deal with their record company had ended but they didn’t close a new one with another record company. They decided to start up their own company KANE Records. After a while they signed with Universal Music.

And that wasn’t the only unconventional aspect during the recording of EVERYTHINGYOUWANT. “We’ve written tracks in Los Angeles, in Philadelphia and in New York. Three totally different cities with their own unique vibe. That resulted in tracks that are urban, dance, rock, soul and even gospel orientated. We’ve never said to each other: that’s enough for an album. We’ve kept on writing and writing to reach new levels” both KANE guys explain. 

Dinand: “we’ve turned around the whole recording process. Not intentionally, it just happened. A few demo’s were added without any enhancement onto the new album. It’s a huge enrichment to say: we don’t know where we’re heading but we don’t care. And when it turns out the things you realised are exactly what you stand for and are feeling you get a huge kick!” KANE had created about 50 ideas/tracks and only those tracks that survived their creative whirlwind landed on EVERYTHINGYOUWANT. During the selection process Dinand thought: “With each track that makes the album I’ve got to go: damn I want to be in that band! And Dennis thought: “With each track I’ve got to have the feeling: I want to buy that album!” That vibe made it very diverse tracklisting.

Just take the first single Catwalk Criminal and it’s follower up Shot Of A Gun. ‘Catwalk Criminal’ kicks in. Puts you on the wrong track. It’s a dirty sexy track about animal attraction. A bold statement as a first single: “Listen up, dit is onze nieuwe sound’. But that doesn’t have to say there isn’t any room for tracks like ‘Shot Of A Gun’. Dinand: “Shot Of A Gun is a comfort song. In comparison to ‘Catwalk Criminal’ it tells listeners the legacy of KANE. This track is so entwined with the past and the new. The song, which was recorded Los Angeles, is the most symbolic on the album on which isn’t much room for romance. Dinand: “Like all KANE albums EVERYTHINGYOUWANT is a very personal album.

It’s personal because it reflects our positive flow. This album tells about relationships, love but above all lust and danger. The sound is cocky and in your face.” Wanna Make It Happen is the dirty rock track of the album. The track R.E.A.L clearly has got the ‘we’re the kings of the world’ attitude and shows KANE hasn’t lost their bravado. Are You Feeling It? is beatdriven, with an urge for freedom and freedom of speech and titeltrack EVERYTHINGYOUWANT is the most electrorock of all, more so then ‘Catwalk Criminal’.

EVERYTHINGYOUWANT is KANE’s rock ‘n soul album. Thanks to producer Scott Jacoby. More a nu soul man who’s never made a rock album. No problem for KANE. “He did what he’s good at and we did the same on our part. We surrounded ourselves with the likes of Scott Jacoby, Neil Dorfsmann, Gail Ann Dorsey and Sterling Campbell who play in David Bowie’s band, and brought a lot of Soul to the new album. Mindblowing feeling! When you start working on a new album and say: I’m gonna make a rock album, it’ll turn out a rock album. If you allow in all possibilities it can turn out to be whatever you want, everythingyouwant”.

Sla Bomvol open via http://www.bomvol.com/8/index.php?origin=m0_8 en kijk, luister en onthoud welke steden totally KANE-approved zijn…

-----------------

This month there’s an interview with the guys from KANE to be found in Dutch online magazine Bomvol in which they talk about their favourite cities. Whether it’s NY where their new album was recorded or hometown Delft where their own studio has its location, each city has got that special thing the guys need to be creative and at ease …

Unfortunately the interviews are in Dutch but you might get the vibe of the cities who are totally KANE-approved as you watch the guys talking about them…

Dinand wrote a new update on the official KANE hyves:

Gotta say good for the mayhem, but it’s some crazy shit this time. We’re working in at least two different places at the same time on the new album. Primarily New York and Delft alternated with Ibiza, Los Angeles, London and… my back yard ha, ha. Ja, life is tough. At the moment we’ve got a studio build in my garden shed. Meanwhile Dennis is hard at work at the Delft studio. So everybody’s working like nutters but it seems like we’ll make our deadlines. Consequence of that is we’re all in our own little worlds these days. Totally focused on details and o fuck… got to finish those lyrics today. Once and a while we’re pulled back into the reality of the KANE bizznizz. Like deadlines, designs, releases… and ticket sales.

I’ll get back to that in a minute. First let’s talk releases. The next KANE single will be ‘SHOT OF A GUN’. We shot the video for that single last week in Los Angeles and Brussels. In a few weeks you’ll get it in your face. We’re extremely happy with the reactions on our first release ‘CATWALK CRIMINAL’. YouTube got over 125.000 views in 1 month and with an entry at number 2 in the charts we made a cool start I think. Like always, very sincerely, Thanx to and for your support!!! Heading to ‘SHOT OF A GUN’ followed by... that fourth KANE cd. I’m in to deep to talk to much about it but it’s hard when you’ve got 45 songs and knowing there will be only 12 songs on the album. ‘Kill your Darlings’. I’m getting emotional now ha, ha.

And after we announced the try-out show in The Hague we received a lot of messages and phone calls regarding the chaotic presale. Honestly, seemed nice to do a gig in our hometown before the album was released. Seemed a good plan to a lot of folks, because a few seconds after the tickets got into presale the sever of the website crashed and tickets were sold out at about 11:20. This mayhem is wicked to a band and their ego’s; it’s mostly chaos for those who didn’t get their hands on those tickets. I apologize for the stress people.

At the moment we’re looking into doing more shows. Might be a small tour in 8 city’s, we’ll see. That’s been a long time for us. Not really on topic but seeing the chaos last Saturday that little tour would be something that’s called for. For those that did manage to get tickets for the The Hague venue… we’ll see you there. For those without a ticket. We hope to see you soon, not to long after the 23th!!!

Thnxxx and adios, D.
