Looking ahead
Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz says future material ‘sounds different’
“To me, it’s sounds different than any of the other stuff we’ve ever worked on.”
When Fall Out Boy first announced their reunion back at the start of last year, it wasn’t all that clear how things were going to progress. Releasing their fifth full-length ‘Save Rock And Roll’ just a few months later, fans were quickly offered a wealth of new material and since then, it’s kept coming. After all, at the end of 2013, the Chicago four-piece unveiled their polarising effort ‘Pax Am Days’ - the full-length that was recorded at Ryan Adam’s Pax Am Studios on a whim.
Now, as they head out on a massive (Monumen)tour of the US alongside Paramore and draw their ‘Save Rock And Roll’ campaign to a close, questions are being raised as to what could come next for the band. Luckily, the band’s Pete Wentz already has some ideas.
In a recent interview with Canoe.ca, Wentz began to open up about the material that band have been working on recently, claiming that “it sounds different than any of the other stuff” the band have done so far.
“If anything,” he told the publication, “I think that we’re far more open now to doing something that’s like probably outside of what people would consider our genre or who we are. So the music that we’ve written so far, to me it’s sounds different than any of the other stuff we’ve ever worked on.
“Fall Out Boy in 2014 is really about the curation of ideas as much as it is about creating albums… I think that Pharrell curating this art show that goes along with his album is like just a great other stream that you can examine as an artist right now.”
