Hot Wax (album)


Hot Wax is the third solo album from Grant Hart, formerly of the band Hüsker Dü. It was released on October 6, 2009. The album followed Good News for Modern Man, released in 1999.

Recording

This album was recorded in both Montreal, Quebec and Minneapolis, Minnesota. The first sessions for the album were in 2005 and Hart traveled to Montreal a dozen times over three years to record with members of the bands Godspeed You! Black Emperor and A Silver Mt. Zion. However, with only half of the album finished, the traveling became an inconvenience. Hart also realized that “those guys didn’t necessarily want to chase the same exact pinpoint I was chasing.” The album was eventually finished in Minneapolis with Albatross Studio founder Mike Wisti.
