Johnny Marr in New Zealand to work on Seven Worlds Collide project

johnny was in New Zealand in December and January to work on the Seven Worlds Collide project with Neil Finn and members of Radiohead and Wilco, amongst others.
Johnny : "I contributed a couple of new songs at Roundhead Studios in Aukland, one is called "Run In The Dust" that I recorded with Phil Selway of Radiohead on drums and Sebastian Steinberg from Soul Coughing playing bass. Lisa Germano sings backing vocals and Jeff Tweedy and Ed O'Brien played on it too.

The other song I wrote with Jeff Tweedy and is called "Too Blue". I came up with the music out at the beach on Christmas Eve and Jeff provided the words. We cut that song like an old Spector session with two Drummers and two Basses, five Guitars (three acoustic and two electric), Piano, Organ, Strings...the whole works."

Johnny also contributed guitar and vocals to songs by Liam Finn, Ed O'Brien and Don MacLeash.
