The conversation went something like this...

Jason (producer Jason Meeker) :So Chris, have you been writing new songs?

Chris: Yeah, I have a handful

Jason: Why don't we record a few together?

Chris: Because Jason, you're an electronica producer.

Jason: So what!

And since "so what?" has been the goal post that I've been kicking my musical career through over the years, it had a ring to me to try something different, so producer Jason Meeker and I embarked on this, the "Into the bright lights" EP; 7 songs that in which an acoustic singer-songwriter meets electronica / cinematic / '80's inspired production.

Now before anyone thinks I'm going the direction of Wham!, this particular producer has known my music for many years, so we worked within certain parameters, but I think the recording is it's most interesting when it peaks outside the usual singer / songwriter framework.

I decided to release this over the summer in the "pay what you can" model, as an offering for those fans who may be under the economic tide, and for those of you who are swimming, all proceeds for this recording will pool into my next recording budget, tour support, and my ongoing struggle with doughnut addiction.

Many thanks for your continued support,
Chris Trapper
