In Nick Hornbys “High Fidelity”, zwischen den verschiedenen Top 5 Listen der denkwürdigsten Trennungen, den besten Elvis Costello Songs und den eindrücklichsten Episoden von „Cheers“, stellt sich Rob Fleming die unsterbliche Frage: „Was war zuerst da, die Musik oder das Unglücklichsein? Hörte ich mir Musik an, weil ich unglücklich war? Oder war ich unglücklich, weil ich Musik hörte?“ City And Colour, das Alter Ego des Alexisonfire Gitarristen Dallas Green, beantwortet diese Frage vielleicht nicht, macht den Kummer aber um einiges leichter zu ertragen.
„Little Hell“, sein mittlerweile drittes Album, ist voller Wehmut, die niemals in Depression umschlägt und den Hörer am Rand der Melancholie abholt. Wenn Green von den Irrungen und Wirrungen des Lebens singt, die uns alle angehen und von denen Green ganz persönlich berichten kann, trifft „Little Hell“ mitten ins Herz und präsentiert Greens Talent in höchst verletzlicher Art und Weise.
Dallas Green will be releasing his 3rd solo album as a singer-songwriter under the moniker City And Colour on Dine Alone Records and marketed and distributed by Cooking Vinyl across Europe. The album titled Little Hell is scheduled for release on June 6th, 2011 and is the highly anticipated follow-up to the 2008’s Bring Me Your Love, which was certified platinum in Canada. Alternately sparse and inviting, intense and delicate, Little Hell shows music fans another side of Green’s incredible songwriting skills, and features some of his finest songs to date. The track listing for Little Hell is listed below.
Little Hell was recorded earlier this winter at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, ON with producer / engineer / mixer Alex Newport (At The Drive-In, Mars Volta, Death Cab For Cutie). Fans got a sneak preview of a brand new track from the upcoming album when an alternate version of the song titled “Northern Wind” recently made its debut on a special Valentine’s Day episode of the hit series One Tree Hill. Green performed on the episode as part of the show’s story line.
Little Hell – named after the album’s title track, a song that explores the little heavens and little hells that comprise a relationship – is the first of Green’s albums to be recorded and mixed to tape. This sonic move ultimately resulted in the album’s warm immediacy, allowing the songs to take on spaciousness previously unheard in City and Colour albums. The record allows Green to highlight all of the facets of his songwriting, from Blues-tinged rockers to pedal steel-soaked acoustic gems. Songs like “Northern Wind” have a beautiful intimacy, as if Green is in the same room and singing right to you, while “Sorrowing Man” is dark and brooding, anchored by an ominous organ in the chorus. The record also highlights Green’s impressive vocal range, from driving a full band on the rousing chorus of “Natural Disasters” or sighing mellifluously on opener “We Found Each Other in the Dark.”

,,Dabei agiert der introvertierte Kanadier auf dem dritten Album seines Soloprojektes lange nicht mehr so spartanisch, wie er das auf seinen ersten beiden Werken getan hatte, gar nicht so selten werden seine musikalischen Therapiesitzungen von Slide- oder E-Gitarre, Bass und Schlagzeug untermalt. Textlich bleibt es aber gewohnt düster, in berührender Offenheit lässt er tief in seine geschundene Seele blicken." (Good Times, August / September 2011)
,,Ein kleiner Himmel." (Rolling Stone, August 2011)
,,Ein Singer / Songwriter muss wissen, wo unten ist. Dallas Green weiß Bescheid." (Musikexpress, August 2011)
