CoS recently made an interview with The Cars, the following is an excerpt: A day that many of us thought would never come is almost here: a new Cars album. On May 10th, their first record in 24 years revs its engines and peels onto the speedway. Synth-rock lovers rejoice. Move Like This is not just the return of the band, but the return of drummer, David Robinson, to the music scene altogether. After all this time, the band’s surprise reunion has pulled Robinson out of blissful retirement and once again into the madcap world of rock ‘n’ roll – a world that’s undergone a series of changes.
In the weeks before the album’s release, Consequence of Sound‘s Cap Blackard had a chance to speak with Robinson about his return to the sticks, continuing on without bassist and vocalist Benjamin Orr, what brought the band together after all these years, and the alien world of the modern recording studio.
In the weeks leading up to the album’s release, what’s life been like?
We’re getting ready to tour and I haven’t played drums since 1987. So what we’re doing is relearning everything and I’m practicing to relearn how to play, basically. Also, we are doing a lot of stuff electronically; we aren’t going to use a bass player, so we have to program either bass parts or keyboard parts to play on stage and that requires click tracks that I play along with and percussion tracks and stuff like that. So, it’s a lot of work.
