RISE & SHINE-HQ/DOWNLOAD-

AFTER SHOWING OFF THE BAND'S ROCK & ROLL INFLUENCES ON THEIR PREVIOUS ALBUM 'LET LOVE SHOW THE WAY,' SIMO (JD SIMO, ADAM ABRASHOFF, AND ELAD SHAPIRO) IS SET TO RELEASE 'RISE & SHINE,' A GENRE BLURRING ALBUM THAT BORROWS INFLUENCES FROM GENERATIONS PAST AND CURRENT AND COMBINES THEM INTO AN 11 TRACK MASTERPIECE. RECORDING IN NASHVILLE'S HOUSE OF BLUES STUDIO D, THE BAND MOVED AT THEIR OWN DELIBERATE PACE AND CREATED THEIR BEST WORK TO DATE. EVERY TRACK HAS A DIFFERENT SONIC IMPRINT, JD ADDS. WE TOOK GREAT CARE TO MAKE EACH TRACK'S SONIC IDENTITY MATCH THE MOOD OF THE SONG. EVEN THOUGH THAT MEANT STARTING FROM SCRATCH EVERY DAY WITH HOW THE STUDIO WAS SETUP.??'RISE & SHINE' FEATURES THE SLOW-SMOKEY BALLAD I WANT LOVE, THE PSYCHEDELIC DESERT-ROCK INSTRUMENTAL THE CLIMB, THE HARD-EDGED, BLUESY LIGHT THE CANDLE, AND THE STAX-WORTHY FUNK ROCKER MEDITATION, GLUED TOGETHER BY THE CHARISMA AND CHEMISTRY OF THREE MUSICIANS WHO SPENT OVER 300 DAYS TOGETHER LAST YEAR, TOURING 9 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. THIS IS AN ALBUM ABOUT CHANGE SAYS ELAD. WHILE TOURING THE WORLD WE LOOKED AT WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN OUR OWN LIVES, AS WELL AS WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE WORLD. EVERYONE IS CHANGING: PERSONALLY, POLITICALLY, SOCIALLY. WE'VE SEEN IT, WE'VE FELT IT. THE NEED TO WRITE MUSIC THAT TRULY MEANS SOMETHING - MUSIC THAT NOT ONLY DEMONSTRATES THE BAND'S EXPLOSIVE CHOPS, BUT ALSO SENDS A CLEAR MESSAGE - WAS GREATER THAN EVER.??IMPASSIONED VOCALS THAT CALL TO MIND PRINCE OR AL GREEN; RHYTHM TRACKS INSPIRED BY THE FATBACK SWAGGER OF ISAAC HAYES AND FUNKY SPIRIT OF D'ANGELO; RAW NAKED SONG WRITING THAT LIFTS THE VEIL FOR THE LISTENER TO SEE BOTH THE FRAIL AND THE BEAUTIFUL - RISE & SHINE WILL BE AVAILABLE ON PROVOGUE RECORDS.??Tracklist:?A:?1.
