Nine years after their inception,Delhis five-member rock act,Them Clones,is finally ready to release its first studio album Love. Hate. Heroes and theyre not doing it the conventional way. Listeners can log onto http://www.themclones.com and vote for their favourite Them Clones song from a selection of 17 compositions. The top 10 tracks will make up the album,to be released in August by Counter Culture Records.
Everyone fans,listeners and even haters have waited long for this album. So the least we can do is to let them decide which songs feature in the album, says Clarence Gonsalves,bassist of the band. We plan to run this till mid-July and decide the track list purely on the basis of incoming votes, adds vocalist Prithwish Dev.
Not a thematic album,Love. Hate. Heroes,is a collection of songs not driven by one particular idea. Dev feels,As a band,weve had our fair share of not-so-good recordings in the past. When we finally started discussing the recording of our debut album a couple of years back,the one thing we agreed on was to not compromise on the production value. Now,were happy we waited for what we hold in our hands.
And its not just the selection of tracks,the band is also offering free download of their first video of the song called My Life an animated feature about superheroes saving the world. We didnt want to tease our audience any further. They have waited a long time and now that its finally happening we are only glad to share it with them, says drummer Surojit Dev.
Since the process began on May 1,over 200 listeners have already cast their votes online. And as they continue their pan-India tour to promote the album and get a wider network of people to vote for their favourite tracks,Them Clones is also preparing another interactive initiative called Clone the CD. Thats phase two of our plan and will take place after the album launch in
August. With every purchase of our CD,the listener will be given a code that will allow them free download of one of the seven remaining tracks from our website, says Dev. Right now,the band is preparing to shoot the video for the song called The bomb song,which will go on air around August.
