Search - John Cale :: Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood

Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood is an album that seems born out of John's mischievous youth. It is the result of sessions held at Cale's LA studio. With days spent experimenting with MPCs, pounding fists onto pianos, manipulating glitches and lots of signature viola drone while patiently waiting for songs to reveal themselves. There was also a spontaneous session with Danger Mouse that resulted in the opening track, "I Wanna Talk 2 U." As a producer Cale has reached a new plateau on this record. He deftly manages to blend equal measures of chaos and beauty.
