Ryan Monroe hadn’t considered himself a control freak by nature. Then he found himself at Redstar Recording in Silver Lake, Calif., with its myriad instruments scattered around, just begging to be fiddled with. For a guy who can play just about anything, it was impossible to resist. So Monroe took a breather from his continuing role as the 34-year-old bastion of versatility in Band Of Horses to record A Painting Of A Painting On Fire (RCM). Monroe hopes to tour this summer behind A Painting before things get too busy with Band Of Horses, which is finishing its fourth album with producer Glyn Johns and eyeing a September release. Monroe will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new feature on him.
Monroe: A group of us were looking for something kinda fancy, but still “New Orleans” in New Orleans last fall. We got an order of these bacon-fried Brussels sprouts at Herbsaint, and they were seriously out of this world. (Obviously, if I’m dedicating a whole post to them.) I think I ordered another plate well before the first one was gone. We all share a great memory of that place because of the delicious food and good times with good friends, but mainly those damn Brussels sprouts.
