Biography
Leader and founder of one of the most revered indie-rock bands of the 1980s, The Dream Syndicate – Paisley Underground legend Steve Wynn announces his first solo album with Fire Records and his first since 2010, Make It Right due 30th August released in tandem with his memoir; I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True (Jawbone Press).
Make It Right is a commentary between literal and metaphorical ruminating – a dialogue between memoirist and musician – a vulnerable, more reflective Wynn than previously heard. Featuring contributions from Mike Mills (R.E.M.), Vicki Peterson (The Bangles), Chris Schlarb (Psychic Temple), Emil Nikolaisen (Serena Maneesh), Linda Pitmon (The Baseball project) and a cast of dozens.
‘Making Good On My Promises’ stands as the second single to date from the upcoming album.
“I wrote this song with Paco Loco, a prolific producer down in Spain. Haven’t heard of him? If you live in Spain, I guarantee you have. Dude’s a legend and I’d estimate that he’s produced half the records released down there in the last several decades. The lyrics, like most of the words on “Make It Right,” fit into the overall narrative of my book—a defiant and yet tentative of a return from a temporary abyss while keeping a wary eye out for the next dip ahead. I shot the video within the confines and out on the streets in London surrounding my groovy label Fire Records. Together, we’ll make good on those promises.”
Wynn will also be touring across the UK and Europe this Autumn which promises to be a one-man show blending songs from and inspired by the book along with a narrative structure of readings and storytelling. Fans can expect a selection of evergreens and rarities from the Dream Syndicate’s catalogue along with reflective numbers from the new album as well, all adding up to a show of a past revisited.
