Thenewno2 is not so much a band, but an all-encompassing concept. The brainchild of Dhani Harrison, the amorphous project has so far spawned two EPs and two full-length LPs, most recently thefearofmissingout. The album features a broad palette of genres, ranging from folk and rock to electronica and rap – and features including Wu-Tang luminary RZA. Speaking upon his return home (to his excited dogs) from US festival duties, Harrison dissect the fear of missing out (FOMO, for short), recounts the formidable arsenal of guitars used on the record, and explains his impressive band managerial skills.
The whole concept of ‘the fear of missing out’ is a new one, but it definitely is something that’s tangible. It’s one of those things everybody gets when they see someone say “oh look at me, I’m on a mountain,” or, “look at me, I’m on a boat”. We once a day get that on our Facebook from one of our friends. It’s one of those things that prevents you from being here, now. If you are ‘here’ is one side of the spectrum, the fear of missing out is the other side.
Tell us about the album’s writing process. Well different songs came from different days when we would we identify with a kind of feeling. Like ‘I Won’t Go’ came from being in LA with so much driving and so much industry bullshit. Everyone’s always got a reason to go out, and ‘I Won’t Go’ is about everyone being so sick of it, just wanting to stay home and read a book. That just came about from living in LA. ‘The Number’, I don’t want to explain it too much, but if you imaging the FOMO you’d have with every girl you’ve ever gone out with, you know what I mean. We say these different types of FOMO, like “party FOMO”, and the list could go on. For every kind of action, there is some sort of FOMO going on somewhere. And you’re trying not to get sucked into it. I get it with music – if the band are working without me I just get terrible music FOMO.
Run us through how thenewno2 has evolved since the release of the first album. It’s definitely grown, there’s probably been about ten new members since the last record. It’s nice. I love expanding it the whole time and bringing in different people to do different things. You see people work well together, even if it’s two people that have never met before and suddenly they’re making a record. I like being kind of like a team manager of a football team. Depending on what album you’re doing, or what festival were doing, or what show we’re doing, you kind of just pick the team that’s going out. So I can pick [violinist] Jessy Green, RZA and Regina Spektor. Regina was visiting and I asked her to do it and she was more than happy to work with us, and I’m sure she’s going to come back and do some more stuff because we just had so much fun. Then we had so much fun with the Wu-Tang guys that we brought them back on the record. Then we had Jessy on the record. Then Thorunn [Antonia, vocalist], we played with her at Coachella a few years ago, then that was a great combination so we brought her back. And Holly [Marilyn] is a friend of mine from LA, she was over at the studio one day and it just sort of happened. I like mixing it up. You never know what you’re going to write when someone else is around. It makes it more interesting.
Was it a challenge to form a cohesive package with all these disparate elements? Well I think when we first started it all seemed different, but if you listen to the record on vinyl and with headphones and go start to finish, there is a curve and a graph and things turn up like instruments. RZA’s voice is more like an instrument. Thorunn’s voice is more like an instrument. The only thing thing that was holding me back from releasing it the way I did was the fear that people might think that it’s weird. But when the whole concept of the fear of missing out really fully settled, I thought “well that makes it even funnier”, because if you call it the fear of missing out then you’re definitely acknowledging it. No-one can say “this is just an album that’s a random collection of tracks”, it’s definitely meant to be this way. The arch works really well, in my opinion. I really enjoy having ‘thewaitaround’ going into ‘Staring Out At The Sea’. I always loved continous mix, DJ records. I always loved things that push you forward in a record and being taken to the next place.
There are a lot of eclectic guitar sounds on the record, what guitars were you using? Myself? I used so many different ones. I’ll tell you some of them. There’s a really great Martin 12-string that appears on ‘Staring Out To Sea’. I was actually given that one by Ben Harper, which is really nice. I usually have my classic Strat that I always play. That’s been my go-to for a long time. It’s an Eric Clapton model with those Lace Sensor pickups. They’re just louder than other guitars. Loud is good. What else, a couple different custom Telecasters. There was a Les Paul Gold Top. That was an old one, it was my dad’s. Then there’s a Gibson that’s strung a bit differently, that’s the kind of thing I use in Fistful Of Mercy. A lot of them on the last record have been on other records as well.
So when will Australia see thenewno2 in the live setting? We were supposed be there in January for Big Day Out, then I was bummed that we weren’t on Big Day Out in the end. I played Byron [Bay Bluesfest] with Fistful Of Mercy, and I would love to get back out there. A lot of my band haven’t been to Australia, but I’ve been there a lot – I love Australia. It’s one of those places where it’s so far away that when you tour, you have to make a big tour out of it.

Since you formed the band it’s grown into quite an ensemble of musicians, I believe it was six band members at the last count, how do you write as a band?
“We all go into different rooms and come out with a load of different ideas. Then we go to a producer and they pretty much tell us how to put it together and then we go back and do it. We’re quite dependent on the producer. We essentially crush up some music and throw it all together.
Jeremy, Jon and I wrote the record, Paul did a lot of button twisting. There’s a bit half way through the record that almost turned into a half drum ‘n’ bass jazz odyssey solo; we created it imagining a fake kung fu movie.”
You’ve just played your first ever thenewno2 London show to coincide with the launch of the new album, what are your touring plans for the rest of the campaign?
“Hopefully, we’ll be back over here in November, any point as soon as possible. We’ve got a bunch of strings and stuff to record for a film we’re working on over at Abbey Road so we’ll be back in November to concentrate on [makes serious face] ‘very serious music’.
I really want to get back for the festivals next year, preferably outdoors.”
Let’s pray the band can bring some LA weather with them in 2013…

“Finally, it’s good to get one out in England. It’s kind of scary bringing stuff out in England because we [the English] are so used to always being bastards to everyone, you know, saying ‘I hate that,it sucks!’ but hopefully people will like this.”
Obviously any music you make will be compared against your Dad’s achievements, especially over here, do you want to try and escape that?
“I met a band and someone said to them ‘Oh you might recognise this guy, he’s got a famous last name’ and the ~American guy went ‘Oh, Harrison right? You’re Jeff Harrison’s son?’ Larry King thought my dad was George Hamilton. We try and avoid the George Hamilton thing where possible. It’s one of the reasons we moved to LA though, there’s so many weirdoes out there you can just kind of blend in.”
There’s a thing in England where they kind of want you to fail, in a weird way, it’s kind of an English thing, to build them up then and knock them down. Whereas in LA there’s the American drea, where if you want to start in the gutter and become big on Broadway everyone’s happy for you. It seems to be a bit more conveniently geared towards success, wheas England is like, ‘impress me now!’ But I think we’ve got enough weirdoes in this band to be interesting.”
What do you love about LA?
“I love the cars, the traffic; all the pollution,” he says with tongue-firmly-in-cheek. “But seriously, the people are great. I really like having people who want work. There was a point when we were here [in London] where no one seemed to want to do anything. There was a lot of art, painting, drawing, photography and that kind of stuff, but not much of a music scene going on about 10 years ago in my ‘sphere’, or whatever you want to call it. So LA’s one of those places where you can go ‘we need a bass player, you know one? Ok fine. Done.’ And everyone’s up for working, so its easy to get stuff done.
It’s a one-stop shop, the best of everything on the world: plastic surgeons, shitty Chinese food. It does make a bit difference to life when you wake up and it’s sunny and 75 Fahrenheit everyday.”

Набожный мусульманин садится в лондонское такси и просит, чтобы водитель выключил радио, потому что во времена Пророка не было никакой музыки, и поэтому он не может слушать музыку неверующих. Таксист остановил машину и открыл дверь. Араб спрашивает: - Что вы делаете? Таксист отвечает: - Во времена Пророка не было никаких такси, так что иди ты нахер и жди попутного верблюда!
