DANDY WARHOLS

In the spring of 2003, The Dandy Warhols released Welcome To The Monkey House, their fourth fulllength. The album, co-produced by Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes, turned out a couple of cult favourites; “We Used To Be Friends”, “I Am A Scientist”. Fans latched on to the tongue-and cheek lyrics they’d come to expect from Courtney Taylor-Taylor, and commended the band for expanding their sound into a mix of organic and electro elements that today, over six years after the record was released, seems particularly forward-thinking and relevant. But although The Dandy Warhols weren’t unhappy with Monkey House’s final result, they had originally intended to release a version mixed by Russell Elavedo, a GRAMMY-award winning soul mixing engineer whose credits include D’Angelo’s Brown Sugar, The Roots’ The Roots Come Alive, Common’s Like Water for Chocolate, and Alicia Keys’ Songs in A Minor, among others. However, then Capitol Records president Andy Slater chose to release the mix the label had arranged. The Dandy Warhols Are Sound is the original Welcome To The Monkey House album, mixed by Russell Elavedo. It is, in a sense, the “Director’s Cut”.
