I was creatively frustrated. I was emotionally unavailable to the people I really, really wanted to be there for – and no matter how much I cared, I just couldn’t change. But when I realized that I needed to the end the band and just try again, my head cleared and the clouds parted. I’d been derailed somehow,” he adds. “So I allowed myself to return to the beginning.” This year marks the release of ‘Mass Gothic’, the Massachusetts-bred, New Yorkbased singer / songwriter’s self-titled Sub Pop debut. Written and recorded at home over four months during the winter of 2013 – 2014, it’s a stunning reminder of not just Heroux’s own remarkable talents as singer and songwriter but how unbridled creativity can sound and feel: before Hooray For Earth had quickly become a fullyfunctioning band it began as a solo project. Not pressure or compromises, just Heroux, a four-track and an irrepressible urge to “jot down all of the noise and music floating around in my head” and make it available to other people. “All I wanted to do was whatever I do when I’m alone and I’m unconcerned with what anyone else wants or expects,” he says. “I did my best to let go, and what came out was pure, uncut. It reminded me of the first few times I made music, when I was a young kid. I didn’t set any rules and I had zero expectations.” The result is an expansive, often exhilarating set of guitar-driven pop that required very little editing when it was done. Additional mixing was provided by Chris Coady (Beach House, TV On The Radio) with mastering done by Greg Calbi (Father John Misty, Tame Impala) at Sterling Sound. The album was engineered by Wall at Tastefully Loud and mastered by Eric Boulanger at The Bakery in Los Angeles. From the iridescent doo-wop of ‘Every Night You’ve Got to Save Me’ to the skyward crescendo of ‘Mind Is Probably’ to the falsetto-streaked clatter of ‘Want To, Bad’, it’s a radiant retelling of Heroux’s starting over, with ‘Nice Night’ as its cathartic, electrifying centrepiece. “A lot of these songs are more or less a really dramatic, loud apology / thank you note,” he says, referencing his partner, collaborator and future tour mate, Jessica. “It didn’t matter where any of the sounds came from. I just cared that it sounded big and heavy, and that it was moving when it was done. It’s a clean slate entirely – and I’m so relieved.” Artist Mass Gothic Genre Rock And Pop Label Sub Pop Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Mind Is Probably Own The Road Want To, Bad Pier Pressure Nice Night Every Night You’ve Got To Save Me Money Counter Territory Soul Subway Phone Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Mass Gothic and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Mass Gothic Ive Tortured You Long Enough Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 31st August 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mass Gothic Ive Tortured You Long Enough £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1244 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mass Gothic Ive Tortured You Long Enough (Loser Edition) Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 31st August 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mass Gothic Ive Tortured You Long Enough (Loser Edition) £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1244X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mass Gothic Mass Gothic (Loser Edition) Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 5th February 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mass Gothic Mass Gothic (Loser Edition) £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1140X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Poco A Good Feelin’ To Know Poco Americana / Country | Epic | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th January 2021 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Poco A Good Feelin’ To Know Poco £14.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Epic SKU: nn217867 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th January 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Clannad In a Lifetime Rock And Pop | BMG Rights Management | 2LP, 3LP, 7", Box Set, CD, Coloured Vinyl Released 13th March 2020 £25.00 -
