American Princes, the Little Rock, Ark. outfit that turned heads with the Pixiefied power-pop album Less and Less has just completed follow-up Other People. The group, now a five piece with the addition of keyboardist/guitarist Will Boyd, recorded at New York City studio The Fireplace with Chuck Brody, who's worked on records by the Wu-Tang Clan and Peter Bjorn and John. 'A few friends have said it's our '80s record, but it's probably more Tears for Fears or Tom Petty than New Order,' says singer/guitarist David Slade. 'We wanted to include a bunch of weird, post-modern hooks, which made working with a predominately hip-hop producer all the more enticing.'
