The choice of cover songs on “Again (Part 2)” – Lou Reed’s “Satellite of Love,” Mott the Hoople’s “All the Young Dudes”, The Tragically Hip’s “Blow at High Dough,” and The Rolling Stones’ “2000 Light Years From Home” – provide a rare glimpse into Men Without Hats’ tastes and influences, as they even re-invent their most iconic hit (“No Friends of Mine”). The themes explored on “Again (Part 1)” reflect the band’s unique take on current affairs (“If the World Should End Today,” “The Human Race”), love (“All Into Stars,” “The Love Inside your Heart,” “When Does The Love Begin”), the meaning of life (“Just Another Day,” “Nancy’s Room,” “Where The Wild Go”), and the state of the art (“My Love,” “Heaven,” “My Own Advice”). The album was recorded on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, on top of the Malahat Mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean, from July 2020 to January 2021. Led by original founding members Ivan and Colin Doroschuk, Men Without Hats have been rounded out since 2016 by industry veteran Sho Murray, and augmented on this record by Colin’s daughter, soprano Sahara Sloan. Hot on the heels of “love in the age of war,” new wave electro-pop pioneers, Men Without Hats return with a collection of 12 new original compositions – “Again (Part 1)” – and 5 new cover songs – “Again (Part 2).”
