It is beyond anyone’s imagination how Hamish Anderson isn’t headlining 3k capacity theaters. With a thrilling guitar style that rivals Gary Clark Jr., Anderson remains the guitar hero most music fans have yet to hear. His new album, ELECTRIC, is his first in five years and is described as a “Love Letter to the Electric Guitar.”
Andreson has said that the time spent in pre-production allowed him to distill his sound to what he feels are his best elements and not shy away from giving the electric guitar a prominent voice. And while previous efforts often found him working with session musicians and entrusting the production to someone else, ELECTRIC was cut chiefly live as a trio with his touring band (bassist LaurenStockner and drummer Pete Marin) with appearances by Jessy Green on strings (Foo Fighters)and Jerry Borge on keys (Jonathan Wilson, Ziggy Marley) and finds him sharing production duties with David Davis (The War On Drugs Lauren Ruth Ward, Miguel).
Glide is premiering “Late In The Evening,” the first single off ELECTRIC. It shows Anderson weaving biting six-string leads and riffs into a lush statement evoking rock’s glory days.
“’Late In The Evening’ came out of wanting to create a big unapologetic heavy rock song. Turning up the fuzz pedal and laying down a seductive groove. I took everything I was listening to and have been influenced by and mixed it up into something else. I thought of it as a scene from a film about desire and temptation; set at night and about an attraction leading to seduction between two people,” adds Anderson.
