The new Dragonette album is inspired by Paul Simon

  • May 15, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Dragonette's upcoming third album was inspired by Paul Simon's 'Graceland' album.

"Paul Simon's 'Graceland' — I could not stop listening to that album while I was doing this record," Martina enthused to andPOP.

"I was like, 'imagine if somebody could make this kind of happiness and smallness, but it was a dance record'. That was my dream for the whole album, taking all of 'Graceland' and pulling it over to Dragonette. Not in a direct line way, just like a feeling and a vibe."

Mind you, it wasn't just Paul Simon that inspired the album, but "old music" in general and attempt­ing to "translate it to all of these synth toys and beats we can create on a computer".

No details of what the album's called or when it might come out have been announced yet, 'apols'.
