Phil Soussan talks about recording and producing Prophets of Addiction: “Les is a great songwriter. He has incredible pop sensibility and as a songwriter myself, I very much relate to that. But he has a great attitude that he combines that with and that’s what brings the character into the band Prophets of Addiction. If you’ve never heard them, this is your chance to give them a good listen.
“So, this album is pretty cool how we made it. I’ve been mixing albums for Les for years and we finally had an opportunity to do a record from scratch how we wanted to do it and featuring all of the musicians that Les wanted to have on the record. So, we started it here in Las Vegas at Danny Koker’s Desert Moon Productions and then brought everything back here and all of those players came in and they did their overdubs here. It was a really good time. We had a lot of fun doing it. I got to play bass on the record so I had an opportunity to sort of be on both sides of the glass so to speak and what came out was fantastic. The record is so cool. It has incredible highlights on it. I think the song “Hollywood” is killer, but “Let’s Get High” is great. It’s not necessarily what you think it’s about. “Take Me to Your Leader” is another cool song and we did an amazing version of a cover of Rod Stewart’s “Maggie May” that you have to hear. You got to hear it to believe it. It’s so so cool. It stands up on its own and one of my favorite songs of all time. So, that was fun doing that.”
The praise for the band has been incredible!
