BIO 2007

Pepper Sands, a powerhouse quartet based in Vancouver BC, have just completed their sophomore album "Forest Strays". A 10 track semi concept effort is produced, engineered and mixed by Jay Evjen at JMP Studios, "Forest Strays" is a bold and creative offering from one of Canada's favourite pop/rock outfits.

Citizen A's vocals on this record vary from the angelic "Moody Park" to the decidedly bratty "U don't say". Guitarist Jay Slye truly flexes his legendary skills as the "sound scientist" taking unexpected 'trips' in the psychedelic "Big Brain" (a real treat live!). Newcomer Derek Macdonald (Keyboards) has really left his prints on this record, going between the carnivalesque "the won't express" to the subtle treatment of the rocker "faster faster". Adamâs consistently surprising creativity flows through the drum arrangements and tastefully heavy slow-fills. All in all, "Forest Strays" does not disappoint.

Pepper Sands have always managed to present themselves and their classic songwriting as their own world of atmospheric inspiration (all butterflies and dusty diaries). This long awaited follow up to 2002's "Pepper Sands" is exciting and definitely an irresistible puzzle.
