SUMMER TOUR DATES – SELECT DATES WITH THE FUTUREHEADS
The Like are set to release their sophomore album Release Me – produced by Mark Ronson, Alex Greenwald,
and the soul and studio sophistication of the Dap-Kings’ Tommy Brenneck, Homer Steinweiss, and Victor
Axelrod- on June 15th (Downtown Records).
The album came to life at Dunham Studios in Brooklyn. The girls stepped into another time –
recorded only on analog equipment, used gear from the sixties, and let go.
“What Mark did systematically was take the songs right back to their original form. We spent almost 48
hours straight with Mark arranging the songs properly before we went into the studio, and then we recorded
them live,” says front woman Z Berg.
Drummer Tennessee Thomas adds, “Before Mark, we recorded everything nitpicky and perfect, track by track.
But on those great 60’s records, the mistakes were some of the best parts of it. Mark shouted at us – it was chaos
a lot of the time – but it absolutely brought us together as a band. We recorded for six days with Mark – and we
got nine songs. Then we did four days with Alex Greenwald and the Dap-Kings. It was miraculous.”
Release Me has already been met with critical acclaim. “Inspired songcraft…stunning.” said LA Weekly.
“Beautiful women who can funk it up,” Esquire.com said of The Like’s recent SXSW outdoor performance
at Stubbs. The band recently released the official video for “He’s Not A Boy,” check it out here!
