It was 10 years ago today: Punch Brothers’ EP Ahoy! was released on Nonesuch. Recorded during the Nashville sessions for the band’s critically acclaimed album Who’s Feeling Young Now?, the EP, also produced by Jacquire King, features songs by Josh Ritter, Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings, and Mclusky; a traditional tune arranged; and a new instrumental track by the band. You can hear it again here.
John Ryan, Don Was, Jacquire King & Don Henley on Niall Horan as a solo artist
Getting in with those guys, I felt the love straight away, they got what I was trying to do. They respected what a 23-year-old was trying to do at the end of the day. It was mind boggling, Greg Kurstin, the fact I worked with him, blows my mind on a daily basis. He was working with Beck, Paul McCartney, the Foo Fighters. And me. He moved stuff around to get me in his schedule for an afternoon. I would take whatever I get to work with him, to watch him in action.
Niall talking about working with producers Greg Kurstin and Jacquire King.
It's been kind of a confidence boost, in terms of identifying himself as a stand alone artist. You can see the feeling of him coming into his own.
jacquire king on the song flicker - one the record: flicker [10.20.17]
Niall's named about 700 influences for his album. I think he wants to confuse people. Lol or his album is a fresh sound that he can't really appropriately compare to other things! Who knows.
He’s possibly just confused himself :) But that’s good...a nice mishmash of influences!
Anon 2: Niall is totally in his element rocking out with his electric guitar. I'm sure Jacquire is helping him do some songs like that!
That is certainly one of Jacquire’s strengths. He used to use a live set up on the Kings’ early albums. Back in those days the boys always used to stand really close together when they played (recording, and on stage). It was basically like a really simple live set-up, which sounds very similar to how Niall has said his sessions are going down. So that’s coo! :)
Anon 3: Kings of Leon meets 1D. Sounds like Temporary fix type music to me. I think I'm gonna like it.
Ha yes - scuzzy pop rock! :)
The talented songwriter has been working with Kings Of Leon producer Jacquire King on tracks for the album which he described as "One Direction meets Kings Of Leon"- assuming niall did talk to the sun (and i wouldn't be surprised if he did considering he's still w/ modest and hjpr) and this is what he really described as his music as, it once again strikes me that niall's own descriptors are basically what ppl predicted harry's stuff would be like. i think if harry does not play into ppl's
expectations than it will only help in terms of his career. you have no idea how many times i've seem ppl 'joke' that harry's just going to make boring indie folk country music *yawn* pls prove them wrong harold. I'm not dissing KOL or the fact that niall is going for that vibe it's just, that's the vibe ppl expected harry to go for i think
Sorry I didn’t get to this earlier, and you presumably sent it before the HDD article about Harry’s musical direction came out. But yeah, you’re right, I think a lot of people might have expected Harry to go in that indie/country-folk-lite direction (not necessarily the general public, but fans for sure). But Jacquire King doesn’t just produce that kinda music. He produces full-on rock albums too (some of my favourite albums from last decade were produced by Jacquire like Aha Shake Heartbreak and Modest Mouse’s Good News..). So it’ll be interesting to hear if Niall rocks out completely or goes with a more acoustic vibe...Jacquire produced the James Bay album, I can totally see Niall dreaming about releasing a first album like that ...
No I don’t think he preferred Jacquire’s process of recording lol
I remember someone telling me that Niall said something about not working with him again cos of how picky is but I don't think I ever read/saw the quote in context so wasn't sure if he was joking or not.
