The No Ones – My Best Evil Friend (CD)
Product Details
Peter Buck and Scott McCaughey have spent decades making music that rewards the deeply curious listener, from their R.E.M. years through the sprawling interconnected world of The Minus 5 and The Baseball Project. My Best Evil Friend channels that same spirit of enthusiastic fandom into something generous and lived-in, a record that treats covers not as exercises but as conversations between friends who genuinely love these songs.
The No Ones are Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen and Frode Strømstad. Consisting of members from R.E.M., The Minus 5, The Young Fresh Fellows, The Baseball Project, and I Was A King, the bi-continental collaborators share their third collection of songs, paying tribute to the artists that inspire them and populate their turntables. Through their upbeat 60s-style indie sound infused with psychedelic flourishes, The No Ones honor Nick Lowe, Pamela Polland, George Harrison, Jenny Lewis, and Phil Ochs, among others. The group enlisted contributions from friends Debbi Peterson (Bangles), Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie), and Norman Blake (Teenage Fan Club) for backing vocals, Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven) on bass, and strings from Marin Stallemo Bakke.
