Details:
Phoenix, Arizona based artist Brian Chartrand has been busy! This prolific singer/songwriter released four albums in 2008: his first solo-acoustic effort, "Sleeping With Giants," âthe Show Low sessionsâ by his rootsy trio Ten Dollar Outfit, âLaurel & Sunsetâ by The Sweet Remains, the trans-continental, harmony-driven collaboration between Brian, Rich Price, and Greg Naughton, and lastly, âOut Of The Ether,â his latest solo EP.

âOut Of The Etherâ was recorded in August 2008 in Queen Creek, AZ with producer Mr. Fantastical. This EP continues the experimental trajectory started with âSleeping With Giantsâ by exploring new genres and new instrumentations. âFalling Awayâ pulses with a thick bass line, swirling strings, and hook-heavy outtro. âHow Thin These Wallsâ is bluesy, stripped down, and raw; a sexy tune about a promiscuous neighbor. âCoffin Manâ somehow juxtaposes 80âs pop soul and dirty, bluesy vocals and sprinkles in some chain gang chanting for texture (picture Billy Ocean and Warren G lost in the desert). â4 Seasonsâ is a light acoustic ballad celebrating the seasons. This song was inspired by the birds that constantly sing outside Brianâs Phoenix apartment. âThe Long Way Homeâ takes us into the home of a dysfunctional family with a hard working father, detached mother, and their naïvely pious children. This song pushes the listener lyrically as well as sonically by playing with time signatures, chord progressions, and eastern influenced instrumentation.

This is a very limited physical release of this studio EP. Each disc was designed, assembled and signed by the artist himself. Supplies are very limited.
