Maximum Deficit of Modesty
Russell Crowe is not a man to mince his words. Particularly when he wants to tell the world what a goddamn talented prince he is. Talking about the the release of his band's new album, Russell was typically drowning in a torrent of his own self-love. Here are just a few of his modest words about 30 Off Foot of Grunt's latest opus.
Talking about the single Raewyn, Russell said:
...it is the only song I've ever written that has made both men and women cry, think, and call their parents, usually in that order. I have e-mails from Sting and Billy Bragg, two of my song writing heroes that give testament to the quiet power of the song.
We will post those closer to the date of release, and when you read them I believe you will understand what a breathtaking validation they felt like to me.
This record is fresh, revelatory and graceful.
He continues to blown his own allegedly unwashed trumpet about the rest of the album:
...the album touches on varying subjects, my beautiful wife, past relationships, my son, people I know, family tragedy, immigrant cane cutters, vilification, a choral requiem for a dead friend, my contribution to the genre of drinking songs(the title track, My Hand, My Heart), optimism, and perspective. It is without doubt the most satisfying record I've ever made, and I know when you hear it you will be seduced by its beauty.
There's nothing I can add.
