WORDS TO BURN a Wrap!

WORDS TO BURN, The Near Myths' second album, is now officially in production. January 28 is the projected release date. The album contains thirteen songs, which allows the band to stretch out stylistically. This time around you'll hear a bit more jazz with "Slip across the Border," a piano-based ballad featuring Bernadette's debut as lead vocalist, and a bit more rock with "Need You Gone," Jim's hard driving anthem. As some of you already know, Andy's nostalgic eight minute plus masterpiece "(Take Me Back to) Dillard Street" is a standout. Ben and Teep's in the pocket duet on Ben's British Invasion homage "Laughing by Now" is a bittersweet delight. And the band's four-part harmony has never meshed more seamlessly than on Teep's beautifully edgy "Why . . . ." Samples of all thirteen songs are available on our Music page, and pre-release downloads can be purchased on our MySpace page (see our Links page).
