专辑介绍

Spunk Records are pleased to announce Henry Wagons’ first solo recording, Expecting Company? – an EP of duets recorded with some very special guests across 2012, to be released on Friday September 28.After five albums with his band, Wagons, Henry’s first solo offering features collaborations with Alison Mosshart (The Kills, The Dead Weather), Robert Forster (The Go-Betweens), Sophia Brous, Canada’s Jenn Grant, Patience Hodgson (The Grates) and Gossling.“Most of these songs were written in a slightly altered state,” Henry reveals of the EP. Finally home, after a long stint on the road, Henry found himself sick and injured – “delirious with a bad fever and maimed due to a light bulb exploding in my hand”. Resisting the urge to recover in bed, Henry harnessed “the twisted voices” in his head and wrote some songs instead. “They came from a different place, so they required some different voices,” he explains.Henry recorded most of the EP in his personal studio, self-producing and playing most of the instruments. He visited London to record Alison Mosshart’s vocal at her house (the location that inspired the opening cut, ‘Unwelcome Company’); he met Jenn Grant while touring Canada, and he travelled to Brisbane to work with Robert Forster. The Go-Betweens great had previously praised Wagons in the pages of The Monthly, describing how he plays “the straight a little crooked and the crooked a little straight”.

Expecting Company? follows Wagons’ 2011 long-player, Rumble, Shake and Tumble which saw the band tour widely on its international release, and received wide-spread critical acclaim.
