David Wax Museum

Suz and I started this band as friends, says David Wax, but now were married and have a child and have our family on the road with us. The stakes are different.

Those stakes are what lie at the heart of David Wax Museums fourth and boldest studio album to date, Guesthouse. Its the sound of a band reconciling the accountability of marriage and parenthood with the uncertainty and challenges of life on the road; of coming to terms with the limitations of the folk tag that launched their career and pushing past it into uncharted musical territory; of reimagining their entire approach in the studio to capture the magic and the bliss of their live show. In typical David Wax Museum fashion, the songs on Guesthouse are simplistic and sophisticated, elegant and plainspoken all at once. Rather than succumbing to the weight of the newfound responsibilities that landed on their doorstep, the band has leaned into the challenges to capture a brilliant portrait of the messy beauty of it all.

The roots of David Wax Museum stretch back nearly a decade, and all the way from New England to Mexico. As a student at Harvard, Wax began traveling south of the border to study and immerse himself in the countrys traditional music and culture. Back in Boston, he met fiddler/singer Suz Slezak, whose love of traditional American and Irish folk music fused with Waxs Mexo-Americana into a singular, energetic blend that captivated audiences and critics alike. Their 2010 breakout performance at the Newport Folk Festival made them the most talked-about band of the weekend, with NPR hailing them as pure, irresistible joy. They released a trio of albums that earned escalating raves everywhere from SPIN and Entertainment Weekly (who described them as sounding like Andrew Bird with a Mexican folk bent) to the New York Times and The Guardian (which dubbed the music global crossover at its best). They earned an invitation to return to Newport, this time on the main stage, as well as dates supporting The Avett Brothers, The Carolina Chocolate Drops, Buena Vista Social Club, and more.

It was on the road over these past few years as the band and audiences grew, though, that Wax could feel their exuberant live show evolving beyond its formative roots.

I felt empowered to start the band because of my time in Mexico studying folk music, Wax explains. In Boston, the term Americana or folk was just this catchall to describe what everyone was doing. It was helpful to use that to talk about our music at first, but weve found that our hearts feel most shaken, and the band fires on all cylinders, when were putting on a rock show. What weve tried to retain about our folk origins is the warm sound of people playing acoustic instruments together in a room. But, by embracing more of an indie rock approach, weve colored this record with synthesizers, layers of percussion, and adventurous sonic processing. The mental shift of it helped us feel like we could do anything we wanted. There were no rules that we had to follow in terms of what was authentic.'

Part of the inspiration for the shift was the presence of guitarist and producer Josh Kaufman, who sat in with the band on tour and added new sounds and textures that the theyd never experimented with before. When it came time to record Guesthouse, the band knew he had to helm it in the studio.

The songs entered this Technicolor, 3D world with Josh, explains Wax. Aside from his contributions to the arrangements, he really wanted us all to be in a room playing the music together live so that the groove would be central. We brought in two other drummers, and there was a real focus on having as much percussion happening at the same time as possible. We gravitate towards that naturally because of the Mexican influences, all of the syncopations and 6/8 dance rhythms and the energy that that gives us, but we really embraced it this time around.
