ACE FREHLEY to release new solo album '10,000 Volts' February
2024 From

Blabbermouth.net
In an interview with Jeff Napier of
Nuvo, original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley discussed his recently
completed new album, "10,000 Volts", which is tentatively due in
February 2024 via MNRK Music Group (formerly eOne Music). He said:
"It's probably the best record I've ever done. I'm very excited
about it. It's the first time I ended up writing most of these songs
with a good friend of mine, Steve Brown. He used to play in
TRIXTER and has a group called RUBIX KUBE. Anyway, we live 40
minutes from each other, and my fiancée Lara hooked us up. I'd met
him several times over the years, but just briefly, but she knew him
when she was in her twenties, and she said, 'You've gotta get
together with Steve.' He's a great songwriter and guitar player. He
sent me a song, and there was one line that just jumped out from his
chorus, and it was 'Walking On The Moon'. So I said, 'Listen, let's
get together and rewrite this song, and the hook will be 'Walking On
The Moon',' because it wasn't the end of the chorus he had prepared.
So, we rewrote the song, and it came out great. We were actually
gonna call the album 'Walking On The Moon' until we recorded a song
called '10,000 Volts', which came out amazing. I got Anton Fig, my
old drummer, who played on my original '78 solo album and most of my
solo stuff, to play drums on that. So, working with Steve has made a
huge difference in my playing and writing because when he and I put
our heads together, it just clicks. If I'm at a loss for a chord or
a verse or a line, he comes up with it and vice versa, and within
three or four hours, we write a song.
"So that's how the record's been going," Ace added. "Then, once you
record the basic track, you gotta do the overdubs and double and
triple the vocals, harmonies, and stuff. He's an excellent engineer.
So I didn't have to pay an engineer to engineer this record. So I
saved money on that, working with Steve as well, which is nice."
Asked if making "Origins Vol. 2", the sequel to his 2016 collection
of cover songs that inspired the former KISS guitarist, affected the
way he put together the new record, Frehley said: "It's one thing
doing an 'Origins' record because you don't have to write the songs.
Basically, I was picking songs that influenced me that were written
by other people. So it's a lot easier to do than when you do a
regular studio record where all the songs are original. On this
record, all the songs are original except for one. I did one cover
of a song called 'Life Of A Stranger', written by a gal named Nadia.
When she did the song, it was Europop, and it was very sparsely
recorded. I listened to it and loved the melody, and I loved the
lyrics. I played it for Steve, and he said, 'We could kill this song
with heavy drums and power chords and stuff and keyboards even.' It
came out great. All the other songs did as well. There's really not
a weak song on the record. Most people do a record, and they
concentrate on three or four songs that they think might be singles,
and then the rest of it is a lot of filler. But every song on this
album I can hear on the radio. I hope DJs agree with me."
Frehley previously spoke about the recording process for his new
album this past March during an appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk
Nation With Eddie Trunk". At the time, the 72-year-old rocker
marveled at the amount of material he was able to complete, saying:
"Within six days I had written and recorded five new songs, which is
unprecedented for me."
Ace went on to say that he had also been working on his new LP with
Peppy Castro of the BLUES MAGOOS. He added: "Back in the '60s, [the
BLUES MAGOOS] had the big hit '(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet'. I grew
up with him in the Bronx. He inspired me to become a rock star. I
remember going to Orchard Beach in the Bronx, and all of a sudden I
hear Peppy's song on the radio. I go, 'Jesus Christ. If he can do
that, I can do it. I'm better looking than him.' [Laughs] He
actually taught me how to play bar chord in the basement of an
apartment building… But we've been friends ever since, and we've
followed each other's career. And he's been in my studio a half
dozen times. And he also hooked me up with Tommy Denander. He wrote
three songs for me that I'm probably gonna rearrange at least one or
two of them and add vocals. But me and Steve have been doing a song
a day. It's insanity."
