Details:
lynden began as a melodic rock duo in the summer of 2003. Coury Palermo (vocals) & Matt Butler (cello/keys) met and became fast friends. Both had recently moved to Nashville to pursue music â Coury as a singer/songwriter and Matt as a touring musician. âI think we had a huge respect for each other (musically) but were so busy doing our own âthingâ that working together never even crossed our mindsâ, said Matt. That soon changed. While working with another musician, Coury asked Matt to join several of the songwriting sessions - soon after lynden was born. Over the next year and a half the duo wrote, recorded & played... trying to solidify their brand of melodic soulful rock... âwe are by no means reinventing the wheel... just trying to put a different spin on it.â From the recent response to their debut EP it looks like they are beginning to do just that. After two long years of trial & error, lynden debuted their first album âpieces vol. Iâ in 2006. Recorded in Nashville and Atlanta under the production of producer/musician Charles Judge, the record draws from rock, electronica & soul to show the first step in this young bandâs ongoing evolution. Since the initial digital only release in January, the EP has scored two number 1 downloads: âfirst time (you were mine)â and âbetter,â and a Top 3 ,âIâm on fire,â while continuing to win over fans worldwide. Now in the early stages of their follow up album, lynden is expanding their sound to show growth only âthe roadâ can bring. The material is a mixture of what fans were drawn to, with a renewed energy that promises to bring a whole new audience to the table. âThis record is a reflection of where we are in life. I think itâs a more accurate portrayal of all things lyndenâ, says Matt. âThe main difference is the writing approach. âpiecesâ was very much a labor of loveâ, says Coury, âwe hadn't toured on a large scale so there was no âbandâ in place for the studio process. This time around we are writing in the moment⦠as a band. Chris (drums), Evan (guitars) and Jono (bass) have become much more than our âroad matesâ. We are moving forward together." This is lynden.
