"Like a sonic movie for your ears. Layered atmospheric guitar driven melodic pop rock, sprinkled with acoustic ballads, distant dreams, shattered love and the possibility of some healing in the long run." The album echoes many influences while the artist makes them his own for the sheer purpose of telling his stories. You may also find your own story as well. Like a movie for your ears. If you like good films and discovering the intricacies contained within that you didn't notice the first time around then this is an album you should own and listen to over and over. This is a multi course feast for the listener, not songs from a fast food drive thru. So Enjoy! Known primarily as an accomplished rock guitar player, and sometimes bass player, he takes it a few steps further, stepping out and into the mic to reveal his unique and very real voice. Often echoing singers like Neil Young, Nick Drake, James Taylor, John Lennon, and Bob Dylan in a wide variety of songs written over the last few years (and check out the Peter Gabriel cover song too!). In fact most of what you hear on this record was created by Dean, with the exception of drums and violin. This is truly a self made record, conceived, produced, and recorded by the artist himself. Dean drew from his past experience as an engineer and sometimes producer at a fairly well known studio that produced records for the likes of No Doubt, Michael Penn, Incubus, The Beach Boys and Fiona Apple (to name a few). *CD Includes most lyrics and 8 page full color insert.
