''Songs of the Unforgiven'' is the seventh album recorded by the Crash Test Dummies, released in 2004. ==Background== Almost immediately after recording ''Puss 'n' Boots'', Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid and Dan Roberts proceeded to prepare recording the follow-up, with Roberts acknowledging he went "through this phase where I was extremely prolific and I wrote like three records worth of material in a space of months." The band pursued a decisively raw, acoustic, stripped-down sound for ''Songs of the Unforgiven'', and turned to the Internet in search of a recording studio that featured a pipe organ. By Googling "recording studios" plus "pipe organ", the first result revealed Sacred Heart Studios in Duluth, Minnesota: a church originally constructed in 1894 that was later abandoned and eventually restored and turned into a venue for concerts. Having discovered Sacred Heart Recording Studio included a 1493-pipe, Felgemaker pipe-organ, the band drove to Duluth and recorded the album the following January. The album is decidedly apocalyptic thematically, featuring lyrics replete with Biblical references and imagery. Other unconventional instruments appear on the record, including the harp and kettle drums. Suzzy Roche (of female vocal group "The Roches" fame) provides backing vocals on the album's three sonnets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Songs of the Unforgiven」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
