That includes the singles ‘Bogus Operandi’ and ‘Countdown To Shutdown’, it’s the band’s first full-length launch in over a decade.

TEXT ONLY VERSION BELOW:
Whereas they’ve maintained a well-earned status as one of many hardest working stay acts within the enterprise, in the case of recording music, The Hives have been considerably absent from the studio for over a decade.
“It had been the appropriate time for 8 years I feel” says frontman Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist. “The choice to begin was type of made for us when immediately there have been songs that we really favored. As soon as we had that, it was clean and straightforward. It was fairly swift. Normally we argue rather a lot making data and this time that occurred barely much less.”
With their signature battering-ram riffs and shout-along choruses in test, The Hives are able to current their long-awaited sixth studio album to the world: ’The Demise Of Randy Fitzsimmons’. Pelle guides us by way of the making of the document, pushing their type to the restrict by way of 12 tightly-wound tracks, coiled and able to spring into motion on stay phases the world over. The countdown to shutdown has begun – put together for the grand return of The Hives.
THE SOUND
“We undoubtedly don’t wish to make one thing that sounds mature and older. The factor that we had been lacking in music whereas we have been away was that thrilling, infantile feeling that we all the time beloved in rock ‘n’ roll. It’s been a really severe time, a minimum of for guitar bands. So we wished it to be thrilling and violent and insane and enjoyable. Mainly all of the issues your mum says you shouldn’t do.”
As anybody who has ever seen them tear aside a pageant stage will know, enjoyable is strictly the right phrase you’d use to explain The Hives. However in amongst the standard excessive vitality storage rock, there are new components sprinkled into the tried and examined formulation, with the likes of ‘Crash Into The Weekend’ bringing within the blues.
“To ensure that it to be thrilling, you must fuck with the shape rather a lot” explains Pelle. “It doesn’t circulation naturally, it’s laborious work. It’s not enjoyable making it sound enjoyable is what I’m saying. The enjoyment is when it’s accomplished. When you wanna make one thing good, you must attempt tougher.”
It actually have to be difficult to maintain issues contemporary musically whereas nonetheless holding that quintessential The Hives sound intact – how do you adapt with out shedding that very important calling card?
“It’s laborious. There is no such thing as a pondering outdoors the field. We’re principally in a good little field, clawing ourselves bloody to make new issues contained in the field. However all the things else feels unsuitable now. If it doesn’t really feel like The Hives, then we don’t use it. Generally if one thing has too large a refrain, it doesn’t really feel proper so we skip it. The identification turns into self perpetuating.”
“Plus, I feel it’s so uncommon for bands to have that instantly identifiable factor” Pelle continues. “We’ve this little nook within the rock ‘n’ roll universe – it’s our nook. That’s one of many issues I’m most pleased with. Like The Ramones or AC/DC, you instantly recognise it and I wouldn’t wish to wreck that. We will do a variety of issues however can’t assist however sound like The Hives.”
THE COLLABORATIONS
‘The Demise Of Randy Fitzsimmons’ marks the primary time bassist The Johan and Solely seems on an album by The Hives – outstanding contemplating that he has been part of the band’s lineup since 2013.
“He’s been within the band for a decade. He’s been there for all the time that we’ve not made data. It feels good to lastly have him. There’s proof now that he’s within the band” Pelle laughs.
Recorded with producer Patrik Berger, periods happened in Stockholm, with a number of tracks minimize within the studio owned by ABBA legend Benny Anderson.
“Benny’s nearly like a buddy now. He performed organ with us on a TV present in Sweden. He produced a horror film that we did a tune for. It sounds bizarre however Benny from ABBA is a man I do know. I’ve handy it to the man – he’s clearly actually proficient. However it’s so true that expertise is for amateurs as a result of he nonetheless sits for hours on a regular basis and tries to make music. He doesn’t want to do this however he nonetheless exhibits as much as work and tries to make one thing that he hasn’t heard earlier than. That’s why he’s that man. He didn’t simply get up with a bunch of ABBA songs in his head.”
That work ethic has clearly impacted The Hives who will follow new songs hundreds of instances earlier than even setting foot in a recording studio, guaranteeing a a lot simpler and fulfilling expertise as soon as they get there.
“Since we began at a time when studio time was very costly, we began this factor the place we’ll play the songs 1,000,000 instances, flipped the wrong way up, backwards and forwards. So many instances that it’s in our muscle reminiscence. After which we go into the studio and document it actually shortly” Pelle explains. “We simply stand and play the tune. It’s like we’re faking the circumstances of a debut album, the place you’ve a variety of time to work on music however not a variety of time to document. So that’s how we nonetheless do it. We play a tune 3 times, it sounds superb. We’ve some Indian meals, play one other tune, it sounds superb. However that’s solely as a result of we’ve got spent a 12 months drudging, making new variations, throwing out previous variations, taking part in it 1,000,000 other ways with out recording it.”
THE LYRICS
“It took slightly longer to get to the good things” admits Pelle on writing lyrics for the brand new document. “I needed to wade by way of a variety of dangerous variations. It’s all the time laborious however generally it’s even tougher I assume. When you love the riff and you’re keen on the sound for The Hives, you don’t wish to fuck that up with a foul vocal. It needs to be up there with all the opposite stuff. And should you write an incredible refrain, you must write an incredible verse – you don’t need something to be a disappointment about it.”
“Lyrics are generally on a subject or about one thing very particular however a variety of the time, it’s poetry” he continues. “I by no means actually received poetry once I was a child however on the definition of it, that’s how I really feel about a variety of rock ‘n’ roll lyrics. It’s concerning the feeling you get listening to or studying the phrases. It isn’t about what the phrases really imply.”
The band’s tune titles are likely to comply with an identical formulation, with latest singles ‘Bogus Operandi’ and ‘Rigor Mortis Radio’ paying homage to the slogan-led method seen in megahits ‘Hate To Say I Advised You So’ and ‘Tick Tick Growth’.
“For Swedes, some issues come simple, like melody. I feel most Swedish music performs on melody. However we all the time knew we wished to be a band that was not based mostly on melody. So how do you make it catchy? It’s good to provide you with a memorable phrase. Otherwise you discover a technique to make a rhyme construction catchy.”
THE TITLE & THE ARTWORK
“It was instructed to us principally. There was no approach round it. We knew we have been coming again with the primary album after eleven years and persons are going to need us to clarify that. And the reason is principally within the title. The man who writes the songs is just not there anymore, that’s why it’s laborious.”
As press releases asserting their comeback defined, the band had not spoken to or heard from their mysterious mentor, Fitzsimmons, since 2012. A determine featured within the band’s lore because the starting, he’s credited on a number of songs and was even mentioned to have given every of the band members their distinctive nicknames. Whether or not that is reality or an elaborate, imagined backstory is nearly irrelevant as as soon as the album title was chosen, there actually was no different alternative that might compete.
“Plus it gave us the possibility to make a very cool trying cowl” provides Pelle. “All of our movies and album covers are usually concepts that come from the band. I had an concept and drew it on a serviette and textual content it to the opposite guys. It was us with shovels and trench coats in a grave yard. Then Niklas (Almqvist, guitarist) photographed himself in all these positions in his yard and edited it collectively. Then we simply reenacted it with a photographer. However there’s a model of the duvet with solely Niklas in these positions and it seems to be precisely the identical.”
THE FUTURE
Having constructed their status off the again of their electrical stay present, how a tune will fare within the set is all the time on the forefront of the band’s thoughts.
“It’s been actually nice. However it’s largely aid that we lastly get to play new songs.”
With round 5 at present in rotation, Pelle seems to be ahead to increasing that quantity when their headline exhibits roll round later this 12 months, resulting in a UK run in 2024.
However past stay plans, how do they really feel about extra new music? Will The Hives return as soon as once more or will we be left to attend one other decade?
“I do know I’m not gonna wait that lengthy. I don’t know concerning the different guys. However I’m not doing it.”
