Sometimes I get really excited about an artist's upcoming release and do a big interview way too early. Such was the case with Will Johnson. I talked to him in March about the Centro-matic/South San Gabriel double-album, even though it's not coming out until June 6. But I'd just heard the news that Johnson and his bandmates had new music from their rock and country sides coming out simultaneously. I couldn't control myself.
So to serve as a reminder that Dual Hawks is on the way, I'll play you the first single.
"The majority of [the Centro-matic side] was tracked in one week ... done in the studio and recorded the day the songs were written," Johnson said in our interview. "Just a lot more spontaneous. Get in there and go for it and capture everything in raw, very unbridled form. It's a fairly raucous recording."
Centro-matic, "I, the Kite":
The local CD release party for Dual Hawks is May 31 at Dan's SilverLeaf in Denton. Following that will be a U.S. tour, with a June 28 stop at the Granada, where Johnson and crew will be filming the show for a DVD.
