DeWolff are
renowned for ‘wild and
exciting’ live shows and an
organ-fuelled brand of rock
that blows audiences away.
The psychedelic group from
the Netherlands are set to
release their new album
Grand Southern Electric this
Friday 2nd May. A perfect
blend of great song writing
and next level riffery
combined with some of the
grooviest drum grooves known
to man all topped by a
stellar vocal performance by
Pablo van de Poel.
Produced by Grammy award
winner Mark Neill at Soil Of
The South Studios in
Valdosta, Gerogia it sounds
like a classic. We asked the
gents to take us through
track-by-track on how each
song came to be and the
experience they had working
with Neill.
Stand Up
Tall:
“I was just
noodling on my guitar and
this riff came out. We
started a jam and after some
time Robin came up with a
Hammond part that perfectly
interweaves with the guitar
riff. The verse started out
as a joke, Robin and I were
trying to piss each other
off by constantly repeating
what the other played. Then
we figured that it actually
sounded pretty cool, and we
kept it. The lyrics are
about standing up to people
that are putting you down.
When I was growing up I
always responded to these
jive ass mothergrabbers in a
non-violent way, thinking I
was above that.”
Evil
Mothergrabber:
“Luka, Robin
and I were in our car and
this Daft Punk song “Robot
Rock” comes on the radio. We
figured it actually had a
pretty bad-ass riff and
after some investigation we
learned that it actually is
a sample of the song
‘Unleash the Beast’ by
Breakwater, a band from the
80’s. The initial title for
the song was Evil
Motherfucker, but Mark Neill
wouldn’t let us record a
song with a title like that.
He said people in America
would associate it with
gangsta rap. He then
suggested we change it to
Evil Mothergrabber, which
would be the Southern
version.”
Ride With
You:
“I went to
Spain on a holiday with my
fiancée and we saw an
amazing flamenco show in a
small club in Sevilla. I was
really inspired by it and
when I got back home I knew
I wanted to do something
with those flamenco hand
claps. I had written the
riff for ‘Ride With You’ a
long time before that, but
after that trip I knew it
had to be acoustic. That
super funky, partly
backwards, solo at the end
is Mark Neill playing his
Danelectro 6-string bass
guitar by the way. Initially
we wanted to put a pedal
steel solo in there but the
6-string bass really
out-funked that pedal steel
guitar with flying colours!”
Healthy
Friend:
“This song is
about being drawn to
something, a place, a
country, a person, that is
very demanding; financially,
emotionally, whatever. It
seemed like it was worth it
at the beginning, but as
time passes you realize that
the thing you originally had
or the place that you
originally were, wasn’t that
bad at all. But of course
there’s no way back and you
get paranoid and everyone
turns against you and the
world goes up in flames and
a dragon comes and rescues
you.
Musically we were very
inspired by the band Crazy
Horse (Neil Young’s Crazy
Horse, but without Neil
Young). Their first album is
amazing; it’s groovy, it’s
dirty and the songs are
terrific.”
Satilla
No. 3:
“I wrote the
lyrics to this song in 5
minutes so that I could put
some words to a demo that we
recorded. I wanted to
rewrite the lyrics later,
when we’d go to Valdosta to
record the actual album.
When I was looking up some
stuff about Valdosta I read
that the first train that
ever entered Valdosta, back
in 1860, was called Satilla
no. 3. Damn, that is a cool
name, I thought. I knew this
had to be the name of this
song, even though the lyrics
didn’t have anything to do
with a train whatsoever.
I just could not get the
original lyrics out of my
head and Mark really liked
them as well, so in the end
we kept the lyrics and just
called the song Satilla no.
3 in honor of Valdosta.”
Restless
Man:
“The song is
about a really weird party
at my house that suddenly
ended because the police
came. They put out a fire we
made and then we had a big
argument with them. It
sounds really rock n roll,
but actually it was all
quite silly. And then the
song goes into another part
that is about doing your
thing and not letting people
– women, wives, girlfriends,
parents, teachers, bosses,
pets, etc- hold you back
from doing what truly makes
you happy in life. That is
not autobiographical.”
Dance Of
The Buffalo:
“The riff for
this song came out of a
really cool and long late
night jam. Originally we
wanted to put a flute in
this song but in the end we
all agreed that that was too
Stone Henge for this record.
The first line originally
was “I was sitting in a
little tree house”, but when
I sang it over at Mark’s
studio we all started
laughing. “Little tree
house” clearly wasn’t rock n
roll enough, so I changed it
to a “deer stand”, which is
an essential element in
every good rock n roll
lyric.”
Ripple
Faced Thing:
“We started
writing this song with Robin
playing Hammond organ and me
humming a melody. Robin
would play a chord and I’d
said: “no, play this note”
and then he played something
else and that was cool too;
on and on we went and after
some time it turned out we
had written a song with a
hundred chords. The song is
about being so broke you
secretly bring your own
drinking cup to IKEA to have
it refilled 100 times. For
free! Another part of the
song is about a rich kid
that wants to hang out with
the cool boys, because he
thinks that’s how he’s gonna
make it.”
Working
Like A Dog:
“I think this
is the angriest song on the
record. I get scared every
time I read the lyrics.
Musically, this song is a
good example of a song that
could only have been written
by the three of us together.
It’s so simple, but the
groove is so good! You can’t
come up with that noodling
on your guitar, alone in
your bedroom. You need
drums, Hammond, guitars,
good times. This is three
guys in one room, grooving
like they’ve never grooved
before!”
(Ain’t
Nothing Wrong With) A
Little Bit Of Lovin:
“I think the
intro of this song is really
cool because it has a
thousand chords in it, but
it actually sounds like fun.
It probably has so many
chords because I wrote it on
a piano and I can’t play the
piano. Robin does a really
cool Leon Russell thing on
the record, just before we
go into a super heavy rock n
roll song that ends with an
Afrobeat-on-speed jam in
some weird time signature.
Luka is really into
Afrobeat, the end of this
song is were you can hear
that influence very well.”
It’s
About Time:
“‘It’s About
Time’ is actually two songs
put together. We had written
two songs but we didn’t know
what to do with it. We sent
the demos to Mark and in the
meanwhile we figured the
songs would be perfect if
we’d combine them. Robin
does an incredible wah wah
Hammond solo on this one.
The problem was that the
bass guitar is playing a
very daunting bass line at
the same time. So, too proud
to go for the easy way,
Robin locked himself up with
his Hammond and after three
hours he could play it! He’s
a one-man band. You really
gotta see it live to believe
it!”
