It is really somewhat arduous to consider that English rock group Journey, who first broke up in 1996 after eight years as a band, has now been collectively for a decade this second time round.
As co-founder Andy Bell factors out in at this time’s session, this model of Journey is likely to be the definitive iteration. Bell, together with Mark Gardener, Loz Colbert and Steve Queralt had been early pioneers of shoegaze, alongside contemporaries like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine. Eight-minute anthems like “Go away Them All Behind” had been Prime 10 hits within the U.Okay., however the Journey of at this time has fused shoegaze with one other love: the ’80s synth pop of Depeche Mode and Speak Speak.
On this session, Bell talks in regards to the evolution of Journey and the way they discovered the bullseye on their newest album, Interaction.
