Description: In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull" is the 5th studio album by English trio, The Cribs (twin brothers Gary and Ryan and younger sibling Ross Jarman). Writing for this album began in November of 2010 when the band were on an unofficial break. Gary had set up a home studio in Portland and Ryan came out to visit during this period. "It was the best time," says Gary, "just hanging out and messing around with different pieces of gear, spending all day making noises, chasing tangents - just like when we first started." The brothers would take road trips throughout the Pacific North West, staying in seedy motels along the way, playing music and talking through the night. “We just started to write fragments of songs” says Ryan. “We didn't know what we were going to use them for but we built a sketch book with our ideas which were coming thick and fast,” The majority of the album was produced and recorded by Dave Fridmann, at his Tarbox Road Studios in upstate NY. It was Weezer's 1996 "Pinkerton" album and The Flaming Lips' "Clouds Taste Metallic" that initially attracted the band to Fridmann. The session yielded nine album tracks. Ryan's songs, "Back To The Bolthole", "Jaded Youth" and "Come On, Be A No-One", are raw, fierce and punk sounding. “'Back To The Bolthole' was one of the first songs we wrote,” says Ryan. “It was written in the motel room pictured on the front cover of the record and while I can see that it's quite dark and heavy, the chorus is supposed to be life affirming."Come On, Be A No-One", meanwhile, is a "born-to-lose" type anti-hero anthem in-the-making with a great guitar fade out. “Gary wrote it on the acoustic and it sounded very George Harrison. The album closes with perhaps the most ambitious work they've done to date. A four song suite: "Stalagmites"/ "Like A Gift Giver"/ "Butterflies"/ "Arena Rock Encore with Full Cast" was recorded at London's Abbey Road and self produced. “We've always been Beatles fans,” says Ross, “and there was a sense of liberty taking, it's our fifth record, let's go to Abbey Road and record! Why not?” For Gary the aim is to simply “make a better record each time,” and he says, “I'm really pleased with this one.’ We know you will be too.
