"Morrissey: New Record, First Cut, Sneak Peek" - OZY

Talking about "...Istanbul, the second single off the forthcoming album..."

Excerpt:

”Morrissey wanted to evoke the feeling of the hectic and chaotic streets of the city of Istanbul,” says Chiccarelli. So he used a cigar-box guitar, a lap steel guitar and a complicated and busy drum rhythm, plus “an actual gong as percussion, as well as vocal samples from a field recording taken in the streets of Istanbul by guitarist Jesse Tobias.”

[back to John Oliver]

John Oliver: "The Right To Be Forgotten...which incidentally is definitely my favorite non-existent Morrissey song.
