Description
"Prepare to lose your minds to The Datsuns, the most exciting live band on the planet."
- NME
The Datsuns alchemical, revelatory rock’n’roll is enough to make you believe that that there will always be kids who, fuelled by a hunger for noise and adrenalin, will discover rock’s archaic roots, its dusty grooves, rusted riffs and intact spirit, and recharge its soul with their energy, their enthusiasm, and their desire to do something new with it all.
With their new album ‘Outta Sight/Outta Mind, that same energy and abandon which pulsed through their debut album iin 2002 is still present – amplified even further – but this isn’t a retread of former glories. No, ‘Outta Sight/Outta Mind’ is the product of The Datsuns’ wild and unpredictable rock’n’roll rocket-ride. A ringside seat to everything they’ve experienced these crazy last couple of years.
“It’s an album of stories,” explains Dolf. “Some perhaps mildly autobiographical, from us being on the road these past two years, the weird things, the people we’ve seen and met; the changes in our relationships with those around us. We’re constantly moving, constantly running from one drama or another.”
“I really love the idea that albums can be time capsules, that when you listen to that album you hear where the band were at, at that point in time,” muses Dolf. “You can hear that on this album, it’s very honest. I feel like I’ve got a bit more confidence now to say where I’m at, and what I’m thinking and feeling”.
The distance between ‘The Datsuns’ and ‘Outta Sight, Outta Mind’ not only suggests a band unafraid of maturity, of growing-up and improving on what they’ve already done, but also that The Datsuns are the kind of band with a third, fourth and fifth album in them.
