Gemma Hayes released her new album ‘The Roads Don’t Love You’ on October 24th 2005 on Virgin Records.
‘The Roads Don’t Love You’ is the follow-up to her Mercury-nominated debut ‘Night On My Side’. On its release in 2002 ‘Night On My Side’ met with phenomenal critical acclaim. After writing a whole new batch of songs, Gemma moved to Los Angeles last year to recruit a producer and musicians to record and play with. “I’d just heard there was a really good music scene in LA, some great musicians,” says Gemma. “Plus, I was kind of curious about seeing the place.”
So, at the end of last summer, armed with her new arsenal of tunes, Gemma upped sticks and moved out to America. She met renowned drummer Joey Waronker (credits include R.E.M., Beck, Paul McCartney, Air, Smashing Pumpkins, Johnny Cash and many more) who offered his production skills. After assembling a band of musicians she admired greatly through their individual work with PJ Harvey, Beck and Remy Zero, work on ‘The Roads Don’t Love You’ commenced - with stunning results.
