If you’re looking for a taste of the amazing forthcoming album that regular reader Taylor Muse sent me, above is a great track from the album and a stellar music video for the song, “Fear and Fallacy, Sitting in a Tree.”
Muse is the front man for the band Quiet Company.
When Muse sent me an advanced copy of the album, he told me that the music is “a concept record about the journey from belief to disbelief, or a break up record, if you will.”
After listening to the album a few times, I don’t think it’s a breakup record. I think it’s a set of love songs to his life, his wife and especially to his daughter.
If I was a musician, & I had a kid, and I went through the process of finding non-belief from belief, all I would do would be writing songs to my kids about life.
That’s what Taylor did … and I wish him the best at how this all unfolds.
I can’t wait to complete a full review of the music. In the meantime, check out PZ Myers’ response to the video here. Sadly enough, it looks like PZ folded the video’s post into what looks like a continuation of the longest post ever … so it doesn’t look like many people are taking it seriously. That’s sad.
For what it’s worth, You will be able to preorder the record at Grooveshark.com. The G-shark will give you three full months of free Grooveshark service when you sign up. The official release of the album is Oct. 4th.
Check it out.
Pretty snazzy.
Who knew we had a real musician among us?
I LOVE that tune.
Has a kind of rootsy-alt-country-meets-coldplay-but-less-douchey-makes-me-want-to-dig-out-my-Ben-Folds-Five-Albums kind of feel to it.
The duet that popped up after it on Youtube reminded me of John Prine a bit.
Anyway, I’m going to actually pay to listen to this album- the vibe is that good!
As a father and an atheist, I think you’re going to appreciate his approach to the songs a lot.
I do, as I’ve said. And I don’t have kids.
Hey thanks guys.
You can see and hear a lot more on our website and now we’re trying to add a new promo video every week until the record comes out, all featuring ourselves as puppets….so if that sounds strange enough to be interesting, please check it out.
Thanks again.
Taylor
