MP3 Anthony da Costa - Rearrange

First full-length CD from Pleasantville native, featuring rock, folk, alternative, country, and more..

15 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Folk Rock, ROCK: Acoustic



Details:
This is my first full-length solo LP, featuring 14 original songs, such as "Matters of the Heart", "If It's True", and "Remembrance", which was chosen to be on Episode 21 of the Discovery Channel's "Dr. G: Medical Examiner" show. The record features many different styles, ranging from folk to rock to alternative to country to just about anything else I could come up with. It features the production talents of Nicolas Pesce of fishBIT and GW Duncanson of Gingersound Studios. Half of the songs were recorded in my basement studio over a four month period, some of the songs were done at Geoff's, and the rest at Nick Pesce's on a 4 track tape machine. I'm really proud of this as my first full body of work and it was good to get this one out there.
Enjoy,
Anthony
