   Hakkımızda Newton Faulkner

There’s good reason why Brit-nominated Newton Faulkner’s second album, the follow-up to 2007’s million-selling, Number One, debut Hand Built By Robots, is called Rebuilt By Humans. It’s the same reason he had to delay, at the last minute, its recording by two and a half months. At the start of this year the singer-songwriter broke his wrist and dislocated his entire right hand. A bad enough injury at the best of times. But if you’re a guitarist – and a virtuoso finger-picking one at that – it’s catastrophic.

“I’d gone on a family holiday to France,” Faulkner, 24 now, says. “I wasn’t skiing because I didn’t want to risk anything - I was starting the album two days after I got back. But I slipped over two feet from the front door going to a car six feet from the front door, and landed really badly. I was,” he notes with a wry grin, “the only person who ended up in hospital.”

The French doctors, used to patching up battered skiers, wanted to put Faulkner’s hand in a cast for two and half months. And they told him that, when the cast eventually came off, he’d have lost a lot of movement. Neither sounded particularly appetising. Cue a flurry of phone calls to specialists back home in Britain. Faulkner learned of a new treatment using a special plate to bond the shattered bone. He would fly home immediately and have an operation the next day. Then, more fun: the French doctor told Newton he couldn’t fly unless they manipulated the bone away from the nerves, and they couldn’t give him a local anaesthetic while they wrenched his hand back into some semblance of its proper shape.

“It was the most painful thing I’d ever encountered,” he says, stroking the fat scar running across his wrist. But for the irrepressible Faulkner, whose good vibes and esprit de gig made songs like ‘Dream Catch Me’ and ‘I Need Something’ word-of-mouth phenomena, radio staples and festival anthems in 2007/8, even this experience gave him a buzz. “My reaction was not what I would have expected. Yeah, it was agony, but I was just impressed that that much signal could be sent to your brain in one go. Instead of screaming or crying I was going “wooooooah, that was amazing!”’ His healthy sense of wonder and of the ridiculous – this, after all, is a man famed for his inventive cover versions including his haunting version of Massive Attack’s Teardrop – was, in this case, saving him from passing out from pain. Faulkner made the flight.

Back in the UK the next day his wrist was sliced open and a plate bolted to his bones using nine pins and within a matter of days Faulkner was sneakily playing guitar again, his own form of DIY physio. He was back doing what he loved. Newton Faulkner had been rebuilt by humans.

In between albums, Newton Faulkner wouldn’t stop touring. He gigged right up until the end of 2008. Partly because the fans wanted him to, partly because he wanted to – Faulkner loves performing, whether in a clubs, caves, theatres, festivals or hot-air balloons (he did that, over the Swiss Alps, for a radio show).

“It’s pretty hard to pick the highlights of that time,” he says. “So many weird and brilliant things happened. The travelling in itself just makes me happy, I like being in a different place every day – the challenge of picking up different bits of different languages all the time, I love it.

“I still can’t believe the hot air balloon gig actually happened. It was actually my 23rd birthday as well. I went up and did a gig in a balloon in Switzerland, my performances broken up by the sound of the pilot firing these huge blasters so we didn’t crash. Then I landed and got given a double platinum disc. Then I spent the night listening to German techno in a really weird club. A great birthday…”

He had other high times in Australia, a country that fell particularly hard for Faulkner, and in Japan. “I went out on a crazy solo mission in Tokyo. I was there with one other guy who got food poisoning. And I was like, I am not going to bed in Tokyo at six in the evening. So I went out on my own, I got back at half ten the next day, completely smashed. I had no idea how I got home! I was adopted by the staff of one of bars I went to, they dragged me all over town. I have so many weird fragmented memories. Like singing [Iron Maiden’s] ‘Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter’ at nine in the morning, drinking apple sours.”

All this “running round the world like a lunatic” – he’d even been touring throughout the recording of the first album – meant that, in a way, Faulkner missed out on the ‘Dream Catch Me’s huge UK chart success. “Then I came back for a festival in Britain and couldn’t believe that people knew all the words, not only to that song but to everything. That was the point I realised things were really working.”

Buoyed by radio play, Hand Built By Robots had become that rare and precious thing: a word of mouth phenomenon. “There was so little hype about the first album. There were loads of artists coming out at the same time, and I saw them everywhere… And then there was me”.

But as the album sales and tours rolled onwards, he began thinking: when was he going to find time get back in the studio?

There was another issue, too. As he cheerfully admits, “I completely tricked myself into thinking I’d been writing for two years. There was even a meeting booked with the record company last summer which I didn’t panic about ‘cause I was convinced I had loads of stuff. Then at this meeting I realised I had loads of ideas but nothing was finished. I was thrown into bit of a panic-y spin. But it was brilliant – it really fired me up.”

Almost immediately, some of those embryonic ideas burst into colourful life. One of the earliest songs was ‘If This Is It’, Faulkner’s euphoric hymn to the joys of gigging. In an album chocka with instant-hit melodies, it was an obvious choice for the first single. “You could apply the sentiment to anything you really love doing, but I very much aimed it at gigs. It’s that feeling I have: ‘this is what I wanna do! This is cool!’ It’s about how brilliant it is communicating with lots of people, and how it can feel. And when people know the song it will take on a new form onstage. I can’t wait for that.”

He wrote ‘If This Is It’ in a basement flat behind Harrods in Knightsbridge – a location chosen precisely because he knew no one who lived round there, and because he had no interest in going out in the posho London ‘hood. He applied the same purposefully limiting logic to the recording process – much of ‘Rebuilt By Humans’ was recorded in a tiny room under the stairs at London’s Miloco studios. There was just room for Faulkner and producer Mike Spencer, and no distractions.

“Mike and I had done a couple of tracks together on the first album, and he got really excited by the ideas I had for this one, the places I wanted to take things sonically. He understood what I was aiming for with this album. And he let me experiment – I don’t think there was anything we thought of that we didn’t try. The first one was quite rushed in a way, but with this one we had time to make mistakes if we needed to.”

The recording process, he notes, “was pretty unflashy. But that helped - Miloco wasn’t somewhere we went to hang out and drink till the early hours, chatting. It was focused workspace - there was nothing in there apart from two upright chairs, a screen and speakers. That was kind of it. That gave it a certain amount of intensity that I don’t think could have exited in a bigger room.

“I was a lot more hands on this time. Mike would be editing and I’d be left noodling away on the synths till if found the sound I had in my head. Which took me a while ‘cause I had not idea how any of the stuff worked! I did a lot with my voice too – there are a lot sounds that sound like synths that are actually me treating my voice.”

The epic ‘Won’t Let Go’, on the other hand, found Faulkner escaping the world of purposefully spartan London workspaces. It was written in a storm of brilliant distractions. “I wrote it in a hotel room in Tokyo. I was there to work with Cornelius, who I’ve loved forever. We had a writing session together, which he doesn’t normally do.” Faulkner’s fan’s enthusiasm for the Japanese producer, and the language barrier, meant there were some nervous moments in the studio. But the results are phenomenal: ‘Won’t Let Go’, propelled by driving strings and an urgent, jump around backbeat, is already a live classic, as anyone who heard it at this summer’s Glastonbury and Latitude festivals will attest. Not least because Faulkner plays the song accompanied by a tape of the backing track, which he whips out of his pocket and sticks in a cassette player.

‘I’m Not Giving Up Yet’ is another brand new live favourite. On his recent UK tour, on which he road-tested the new material and recorded ‘Rebuilt By Humans’ song interludes, Faulkner ended his set with the largely acoustic and wholly electrifying ballad. His voice has never sounded better.

There’s more vocal inventiveness on the beautiful, heartfelt ‘Resin On My Heart Strings’ (“you put resin on my heartstrings, you make ‘em sing”), in which Newton's voice is made to sound like a theramin resulting in what his producer calls “a faceless choir”. The album opens, meanwhile, with the irresistible funky groove of ‘Badman’, which Faulkner wrote with his brother. ‘Over and Out’ meanwhile is a soaring song that reminds us that not only is he a supremely talented musician, but a truly powerful and skilled vocalist to boot.

Newton Faulkner, a man with a purist’s love of music and a burning desire to share his songs with people, didn’t want to go down any of the obvious routes for his second album. For all his alchemical brilliance on the guitar, Newton wanted to bring more sonic colours to his palette: listen out for dexterous use of synths, strings, and that bass melodica specially imported from America. Listen, too, for ‘Been Thinking About It’, a gentle acoustic folk song that was recorded entirely live.

And watch out, on his coming tour, for inventive, tech-savvy ways of triggering and presenting some of the backing tracks crafted in the studio for these big, bold new songs… And, finally, this people’s poet and have-guitar-will-travel troubadour wanted Rebuilt By Humans to do something special.

“I wanted to avoid the classic second album thing of complaining about how great things have gone and all the hard work,” says Faulkner. Even the agony of his injury, and the slow recovery process, turned out in his favour – the delay meant he could write a few more killer songs, including ‘Badman’ and sun-flecked, rootsy ‘Lipstick Jungle’. “I’ve had a really great couple of years and if it was suddenly to grind to a halt, I wouldn’t have any regrets whatsoever,” he continues. “I had brilliant fun making this album, and hopefully it sounds that way. That’s another reason why ‘If This Is It’ is great for the first single: hopefully it comes across as quite grateful. Because I am grateful.”

Thanks to the fans, and to the doctors, Newton Faulkner is back. He may be part metal these days. But he’s all heart, and all tunes. Ends

CUT IN TWO

Simple things like walking

in a country air

or eating a bacon butty

are there in the weak

but there are stronger people

who dare,



to climb mountains

cry into rivers of blood

or become whores

for votes or a good script

they care for



and they are the ready

who breathe a little quicker

jumping fences they ought repair

but hey are stronger persons

that that,

of the weak and starving

they know one of these words

but it has been cut in two.

THE GOLDEN TIME.



A small village in south France

Sun with everything

Then there was Pascale

Who let me live,



There, all called me English

Except Lausanne

I was David in French voice

I bit her hard on the cheek

It was a guilt thing.........



Lets not for get the tower

That old roman ruin

Where I smoked some oil

And watched the pyrenees rage,



Age was everywhere

The fossils in the path

The old woman who stared through me

Sitting in the beaten bar

At the heart



Of Aurengnac.



I made friends with two others

Regina and lou-lou

What a pair of puffers

But chalk and breeze



She's dead now in that place

No-one left to remember

Well maybe the old woman

And the tower.

IMAGINE THE FEELING OF KNOWING YOU "MADE IT" IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

How would that change your life? Or the life of those around you? I'll let you know a secret; one of the main reasons main stream artist's are so successful is they have a great marketing team on their side.

Marketing is ESSENTIAL in any musicians career and without it they won't be getting too far. You can have the best song in the world, but if you don't have a professional team of marketers out there telling people about it. Nobodies every gonna know about your great song.

Another struggling artist here trying to attract some new listeners…

I appreciate this approach is quite annoying and my plea is one of many that fills up the comments section of more high flying artists, but if I have not put you off too much, I’d be really grateful if you could take the time to take a listen to what’s playing on my page – You never know, you might be glad that you did.

Feel free to add me and get in touch – I always respond.

Best Wishes, RS.

BIRD.



In my garden lives a bird

her name is valerie

because she's blue

and when she sings

she sounds like a sixties song



she has no badge though

nor sense of timing

she will appear

at the oddest hours

when I am quite sober and bright



When the rain appears

both inward and outward

she is ghostly and elsewhere

no doult being unfaithful



and I draw her too,

with my draughtsman's pen

all scribble and beak

not one line of sleek nature

transparing.
