On the 10+ hour drive from Sea Note Studios in Myrtle Beach, S.C. to his home in Clearwater, Fla., something dawned upon Brandon "Burly" Taj Hanick (besides the actual dawn, which was about to have been seen twice in as many days). Nine of the 11 songs on Transmissions from the Grand Strand feature the word "love" in the lyrics, the song title,
or both. -- -- -- -

"What have I done?!?" asked Burly, excitedly. "I've written a...a 'love album!'" he replied to himself, using his inside voice. True--Transmissions is an album primarily about love, but one wouldn't necessarily call these songs "love songs"-unless one thought that every song and everything is somehow connected to love. But that's a bit too hippie, wouldn't you say?

I mean, some of the songs are sad as hell and some view the world through a psychedelic lens that, at times, rouses paranoia. The songs are darkly colored by spirit voices stirring in haunted bedrooms; the one you can't have starring in all of your dreams; premonitions that things in general are coming to a close. But the sadness never allows itself to become bitter...nor too sweet. And the paranoia never devolves into dementia. Rather, they look to the sky and at the bright side of the sun and accept the potential consequences of such a daring act. They watch birds (and planes). They go to the races and put pedals on the tracks. (Source: Artist website) -- -- -- -- -- The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is B007UTBW88 -- -- -- -- -- -- Another listing by Zip
