As the possibility of an official Kinks reunion remains tantalisingly probable, Dave Davies has joined his brother Ray in detailing an album of solo material for release next month.
After the latest installment of Ray’s Americana series last June, Dave has brought together a collection of previously unreleased material unearthed from ‘under beds, in attics, in storage’ on a 13-track collection entitled Decade out on October 12th. “I’m always really into the sound, and the mixes, and gadgets, and the whole schmiel,” Davies remembers of the origins of Konk in the seventies, when these tracks were first recorded.
“And we got a studio up and running, because obviously it was an ideal situation for The Kinks to have our own studio, and record when we liked. And also, I was able to go in, and make what I thought were demos – these recordings.”
Decade tracklist:
Cradle to the Grave
Midnight Sun
Islands
If You Are Leaving
Web of Time
Mystic Woman
Give You All My Love
The Journey
Within Each Day
