Wainwright on his goal for the album[7]
Wainwright and Ronson began recording the album in New York in May 2011.[7]Gigwise.comreported then that formerRazorlightdrummerAndy Burrowshad been invited to contribute to the recording sessions.[8]Wainwright also revealed that the album would contain the "poppiest" music in his repertoire to date, with the "main objective" that it should mostly be "danceable".[7]In May 2011,Rolling Stonereported that candidate tracks for the final release included a tribute to Wainwright's late mother,Kate McGarrigle,called "Candles", "I'm Out of the Game", about "giving up stardom", and a song aboutMontauk, New York(where Wainwright and his partner have a house).[7]Wainwright shared that his daughter Viva influenced the album, stating: "There's nothing like impressing a little girl – nothing quite as lovely, and sometimes nothing quite as difficult. I've written three songs about her already."[7]Following May recording sessions, Wainwright participated in a five-night residency at theRoyal Opera Housein London to promote the release of his compilation box setHouse of Rufus.He took the summer off to spend time with Viva and resumed recording in the fall of 2011.[7]
Wainwright toldRolling Stonein October 2011 that he and Ronson were recording in Brooklyn with theDap-Kings,a process he described as "fantastic".[9]Sean Michaels ofThe Guardianreported in December 2011 that Wainwright and Ronson weremixingthe album after less than two months of recording and thatOut of the Gamewould be released in the spring of 2012.[5][10]Wainwright described the collection as "manly", "sexy" and his "most sort of 'pop' and commercially viable, radio-friendly work". He also revealed that guest artists appearing on the album included his sisterMartha Wainwright,Sean Lennon,the alternative rock bandWilcoguitaristNels ClineandThomas "Doveman" Bartlett.[5][11]According to Ronson, mixing with Tom Elmhirst completed on December 15.[12]Recording and mixing took place at Dunham Sound in Brooklyn and Sear Sound in Manhattan.[13]It was revealed in February 2012 thatMiike Snow'sAndrew Wyatthad also contributed toOut of the Game;[14][15]later that month,Drowned in Soundrevealed thatYeah Yeah YeahsguitaristNick Zinnerwould also appear on the album.[16]
According to Wainwright, he provided to Ronson demo recordings of tracks nearly one year prior to production.[17]

In March 2011, Wainwright performed "Out of the Game" at the Hope North Ping-Pong Ball, a fundraiser for the Uganda boarding school dedicated to educating orphans and young refugees.[18]The album received attention in December 2011 when Wainwright appeared onLate Night with Jimmy Fallonand performed the French version of "O Holy Night"withThe Roots.[19][20]In late 2011 and early 2012 several publications includedOut of the Gameon their lists of most anticipated releases for 2012.[21]"Montauk" was featured asKCRW's "Today's Top Tune" on February 17, 2012, marking the song's world premiere.[22][23]Several days later, Drowned in Sound released an exclusive album "teaser" video offering music samples, photo shoot footage, and clips featuring Wainwright and Ronson.[16]Drowned in Sound also revealed that "Out of the Game" would be the firstsinglefrom the album and would be available for purchase on March 16 viaiTunesand April 16 via Decca/Polydor.[16]Ronson posted a long excerpt from "Out of the Game" on hisTumblrpage on February 22.[24][25][26]The album's cover art was revealed onFacebookand Wainwright's official site on February 28.[27][28]"Out of the Game" premiered in the United Kingdom on February 29 when Wainwright appeared on theJo Whiley ShowonBBC Radio 2.[29][30]The song was made available onYouTubesoon after.[31][32]
The music video for "Out of the Game" was filmed in the Library of the Zoological Society of London in early March.[33][34]It features actressHelena Bonham Carter,a friend of Wainwright's,[17]as a "straight-laced librarian driven into a lustful frenzy" by Wainwright's multiple personalities.[35]His personas include a "debonaire" man wearing a fedora, a woman (Wainwright in drag), and a "drugged-out Sonic Youth-obsessed dope fiend".[36]Bonham Carter lip syncs to Wainwright's lyrics throughout the video; by the end she is lying in the bed dressed in a lace corset, having succumbed to the passion exuded by Wainwright's characters. The music video received mixed critical reception; many reviewers offered commentary on Wainwright's use of drag and noted that his characters appear to have sex with one another.[37]Rich Lopez of theDallas Voicethought Carter "anchored" the music video and found Wainwright's performance "distracting".[38]
Tour
[edit]To promote the album, Wainwright begantouringin April 2012. He performed songs from the album during a six-date European tour including performances in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and Spain.[39][40]Wainwright also performed at the Sundance London Music and Film Festival on April 29.[41]Another mini-tour is scheduled from May 9–13 and will feature performances in Brooklyn and three cities in California (Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego).[42][43]Wainwright will return to Europe for concerts in Spain, Israel and Portugal in June 2012.[39][44]He is scheduled to perform in Dublin on July 18.[45][46]Between July 24 and August 11 he will tour throughout the United States.[47]Ten concerts are scheduled in the United Kingdom between November 16 and December 14.[48]Additional concerts are scheduled in Europe, including Belgium, Sweden, Norway and France during late November and early December.[41]
Composition
[edit]Songs appearing on the album were influenced by the music ofDavid Bowie,Elton JohnandQueen.[49]The opening title track, which served as the album's first single, was influenced by "YouTube obsessed" youth. Wainwright said of the track: "For the first two verses I'm complaining, but in the third verse, it's tinged with envy as well. I'd like to be that age again and that silly, that excited about idiotic things. So I'm not being insensitive, just tired."[16]Wainwright wrote "Welcome to the Ball" years prior to the album's release for a possibleBroadwaymusical and described the composition as "completely wild and orchestral".[13]"Montauk", addressed to Wainwright's daughter about the home in theNew York town of the same namewhere he and his partner live, has been described as having a "lazy, infectious carousel-like" rhythm.[23][50]

Following the premiere of "Montauk", which received mixed reception, several reviewers noted the rolling arpeggio-driven, ballad nature of the song contrary to Wainwright's description of the album as pop music.[59]After Ronson posted "Out of the Game" on his Tumblr page, Andrew Winistorfer ofPrefixmagazine wrote that Wainwright is imagined on Mark Ronson's Tumblr as though he belonged to theRat Pack,a "slick crooner with some old-timey backing music". Winistorfer felt "Out of the Game" was a more accurate of Wainwright's description of the album as being "pop music".[26]The Huffington Post'sMallika Rao complimented both "Montauk" and "Out of the Game" prior to the album's release.[60]
In the April 2012 issue of GermanRolling Stonemagazine reviewer Arne Willander concluded about the album: "The sheer brilliance leaves us exhausted: We have listened to a genius."[61]
