Synopsis

Album Description
A good song is a good song. No matter what style you play it in. WhoMadeWho write good songs. On GREEN VERSIONS, they have re-interpreted fourteen of their own compositions in a completely different manner. Those songs originally made up their much acclaimed debut album, which was released on Gomma last fall and met with euphoric reactions, especially in the UK & France. Art Brut, Mylo and Annie invited them as opening act to their gigs and they were main support for Soulwax on the tour throughout Europe - including a euphoric gig at the After Show Party of the MTV Music Awards in Lisbon. Now, WhoMadeWho had the unique idea to re-interpret their own debut album. While the original versions (and their live performance) portray WhoMadeWho's energetic (futuristic disco rock) side, on GREEN VERSIONS the band presents itself from a completely new angle: Now they play the same songs in a melancholic, beautifully acoustic way: No beats. Just Space Rock, No Wave, futuristic Folk ... you could even claim some Bluegrass influences. This new direction comes as no surprise if one is aware of the diverse musical backgrounds of WMW's three members: guitarist H"ffding was socialized in the strong Skandinavian Garage Rockscene. Kjelleberg (on bass) lived in New York for a while, where he studied with David Tronzo (from the legendary art jazz band The Lounge Lizards). And Barfod, the drummer, loves djing freaked out disco records. So WhoMadeWho are a symbiosis of three very different personalities who create totally new, original musical atmospheres - in the case of GREEN VERSIONS romantic, spaced out neo folk tracks. GOMMA RECORDS. 2006.
