Release Notes:
--------
Jesse Malin has stood for years as an ambassador for connectivity, but not the
smartphone kind. Malin is a fan of old-fashioned interactions, the sort that
require you to leave your house and run the risk of face-to-face encounters with
other human beings. The New York rocker often broaches the subject during his
live shows, usually in the form of sardonic monologues about the ways that
technology has chipped away at the golden possibilities that come with chance
meetings in public spaces. ItÆs a thread that runs throughout his music, though
not always explicitly. Sometimes, itÆs just a feeling that radiates from MalinÆs
songs, which mix punk-rock grit with an unabashed romanticism that heralds
rockÆnÆroll as the ultimate bond. HeÆs still holding fast to this sentiment on
New York Before the War, his first new album in five years.

Malin is a sharp-eyed observer with a restless streak, a role that has served
him well since his 2003 solo debut The Fine Art of Self Destruction. Now, as
then, the personal and the universal mingle as he alternates between blistering
rockers and mournful slow songs, glinting in the wreckage of the heartache that
inspired them. ôIÆm addicted to the glory of a broken heart,ö he sings on
ôAddicted,ö and itÆs hard to imagine a more apt description of MalinÆs
aesthetic. Driven by a jaunty rhythm part that Malin has described as ôThe
Ramones meet Paul Simon,ö he reflects on his recurring muse, New York City,
surveying the endless, inevitable changes constantly reshaping its character.

Uptempo numbers like the aforementioned are the strength of New York Before the
War, though there are a few subtle moments that are equally rewarding. ôThe
Dreamersö smolders over spare piano chords, and a brooding accompaniment yields
to a scabrous guitar solo on ôSheÆs So Dangerous.ö Scaling back for a second or
two allows MalinÆs penchant for grandeur to pack even more of a punch.

MalinÆs previous albums have boasted big-name guests and his latest is no
exception. MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer joins him on the pulsing ôFreeway,ö R.E.M.
co-founder Peter Buck offers a chiming guitar part on ôI Would Do It for You,ö
and the Hold SteadyÆs frontman Craig Finn provides vocals on closing track ôBar
Life.ö Each plays his part well, yet none succeed in overshadowing Malin. He
carries the roaring, fiery ôBoots of Immigrationö and is the king of silver
linings over chugging guitars on ôOh Sheena.ö The title is a nod at the RamonesÆ
ôSheena Is a Punk Rocker,ö but the temperament is all MalinÆs: ôThereÆs a world
outside if you want it,ö he urges. ItÆs an invitation as well as an exhortation:
everything is happening and can happen in the outside world, so why would you
want to be anywhere else?
