My Chemical Romance have begun construction on their own recording 'compound' according to guitarist Frank Iero. This bold move is to avoid the 'constraints' of traditional studio use.
Quoting Iero:
"Back in L.A. we just got a studio so we’re kind of building that out and basically trying to make a compound where we can be creative and be there whenever we want to be. That’s the tough thing doing records in a cycle and you have three or four months where you have to write and record a record and sometimes that’s tough. You can take longer, but you always feel like there’s something over your head like a time constraint and now we’ll have our own place where we can go and make music 24 hours a day. It’s gonna be great!”
It's the My Chemical Clubhouse! No Girls Allowed.
Adding to the process of creating 'conceptual albums'
“It can’t just be a collection of songs. It’s never going to be ‘Oh, we had these twelve songs so record it real quick and we’ll put them out!’ I don’t think anyone can really do that these days anymore without some sort of thought or vision behind it. I think the days of just filling the time and putting out a disc is over, and I’m glad, because those are some of my least favorite records. I think [iTunes] is cool. Write a song and then just put it out, I like the immediacy of that, but I’m talking about full albums, it’s no longer a mixtape mentality. There needs to be a reason why there’s twelve songs, or thirteen songs. It’s not like ‘Oh, we have a single so we need ten more fillers to put it out there,’ but for us, we’re fans of the album.”
Simpy said- it'll be a few years before we get a new release. The band made us wait eternity for Danger Days, I suppose they can do the same for the next offering.
