Michael C. Hall on 'Dexter: New Blood' Finale, New Band Princess Goes Music
Even in a year where so many of us turned to music streaming services for peace of mind and connection, it can be hard to keep up with all the new releases out there. Inevitably, there are worthwhile albums that are true hidden gems, waiting to be discovered like New York City trio Princess Goes's pristine debut record, Thanks for Coming, out now. Drawing on influence from the glam, experimental, and ambient music of David Bowie, '80s new wave dance, and contemporary electronica, there's an atmospheric art felt in the band's music that leaves you in an ethereal and reflective state of mind. Made up of vocalist, Michael C. Hall — best known for his role as Dexter Morgan in Showtime's Dexter: New Blood — and instrumentalists Peter Yanowitz (The Wallflowers and Morningwood) and Matt Katz-Bohen (Blondie), the band first met when Hall led the 2014 Broadway production of Hedwig and the Angry Itch. Fast becoming friends and sharing a common love for genre-bending music, the three have merged their talents for Princess Goes.
Ready to head out on the road with their 14-track record beaming with a blinding existential vision of immaculately expressive songwriting against moody, spacious backdrops of subtle drums and low bass, Hall, Yanowitz and Katz-Bohen, tell PopCulture.com host Tania Hussain exclusively that with their album being avant-garde and ideal for every mood, they enjoy the challenge of testing themselves genre-wise.
In addition to speaking out about their music and 11-city tour in Europe this winter, Michael C Hall also talks about the finale of Dexter: New Blood, and whether fans will be happy with the conclusion of Dexter Morgan's story in the groundbreaking series.
