Mixed in Brooklyn, NY by Joel Hamilton (The Black Keys, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Sparklehorse, and Nina Simone), ‘Over The Stones, Under The Stars’ finds new depth of sound, digging its claws firmly into the emotively penned Collette lyrics. While purposefully stripped of the orchestration that marked previous releases, the album conveys more of the fiery live experience of this unique band. Collette also adds piano, organ and mellotron to his usual axe slinging.
In recent years Ned Collette’s music has led him around the globe, touring with such artists as Camera Obscura, Joanna Newsom, The National, Bill Callahan and St. Vincent. In the later half of 2008 Ned Collette + Wirewalker embarked on 22 shows throughout Europe in which filmmaker Natalie van den Dungen captured the trek in three film clips for the new album and a short documentary/live film to be released soon.
Bear considers himself a music lover. Not an afficionade. He is in love with almost every genre of music, but not so much Rap. He loves sad music imbued with nostalgia. He doesn't enjoy bands that sound good on album but somehow forget to play their instruments in a live setting. In fact seeing a band that sucks live makes him never want to listen to music again. He was born in a hick town, then proceeded to move around the country with wanderlust in his eyes. He now resides in the great rain of the North West with the love of his life.
