Work on new Hip album has begun
#1

I met someone today who works with the Hip, and I can confirm they have started working on their next album.

Unfortunately I have no more details other than that.....

I certainly hope this is true.

Any predictions on the direction they will take with the album? A new sound? Back to their roots?

Wishlist:

- Back to basics, grass roots bluesy rock that made them who they are
- just the boys, no additional strings, pianos etc
- maybe even let Paul take lead for a song
- produced by Mark Howard

I feel like they are probably well aware of their fans concerns as of late. Gords recent work with younger artists seems to demonstrate that he still has it. I'm glad that they've gotten right back into the recording process. Fast and furious has always produced their best work.

Love your wishlist. I'm not sure about the Paul lead vocals one though. It would definitely be interesting but his vocals are mediocre.

My Wishlist is all based on their roots. I wish they'd finally make an album like the ones that made them famous. I have always appreciated the way the band lets themselves evolve but there comes a point where they should really do one for "the fans". I don't think they have ever actually made one for the fans and I think it's about time.

- RIFF based guitar songs like NOIS, Little Bones, Cordelia, I'll Believe in You, Bring It All Back, Locked in the Trunk... etc.
- Swampy Gord vocals like on their first 3 albums.
- Just the boys, no additional strings, pianos etc. (good one cochise)
- 12 songs minimum, with the album at least 45 minutes long. NFPA was too short.
- Some really good songs that build up like Locked in the Trunk of a car or Nautical Disaster.

Agreed. They did Fully Completely only one year after Road Apples and the majority of people still consider it their best.

That's awesome news; I wouldn't say they need to go back to their roots, but it would be nice to have a bit more of a hard rock album. I really like NFPA but I would prefer more At Transformation and less Done and Done.
