Mike Gordon – Overstep (2014)
Mike GordonWhile there’s still no word on when Phish’s next album will see light, one of the band’s members has a new solo project set for 2014. Bassist Mike Gordon release his fourth solo LP, Overstep, on February 25th via ATO Records. It serves as the follow-up to his 2010 effort, Moss.
Producer Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, the Pixies, Warren Zevon) helmed the album, which Gordon says is “more fun-oriented” than past efforts. “It’s not an album of long jams or anything like that. I like to be kind of song-y on albums.” He was drawn to Kolderie because the producer would “appreciate what was kind of quirky about it.”
Gordon will be bringing Overstep to the masses with a band including Murawski (guitar), Craig Myers (percussion), Tom Cleary (keyboards) and Todd Isler (drums).
He wrote the LP on weekend retreats throughout New England with his longtime collaborator, guitarist Scott Murawski, finding unusual spots to put pen to paper — like a boat, or the MASS MoCA museum, where they wrote poems based on paintings. “We had a toy drumset, little pocket gizmos, backpacking guitars,” Gordon says of the crew’s portable, low-key set-up.
