Dylan Champagne releases New Equation + FREE MP3s, tour dates
By bandweblogs on Sep 8, 2008 in Albums, Featured, Free Mp3s, New Releases, Press Releases | Tags: Dylan Champagne, Tour Dates

Dylan Champagne sings about what everybody sings about: love, death, crimes against humanity, the apocalypse, beauty, regret, dreams, space, time, trains, surrealist painters, abandoned theaters, alcoholism, veterans, isolation, salmon fishing, exploding ships, sea-birds, scars, wine, medical conditions, star-crossed lovers, suicide, homicide and cemeteries.
Champagne’s smooth and melodic vocal stylings could be compared to Nick Drake or Iron and Wine, though tonally, thematically, and compositionally the songs might be likened to Nick Cave or even Tom Waits.

‘New Equation’ was mastered by award-winning engineer Myles Boisen, who says of the album, “…for every moment where you envision the singer hunched over a beat-up acoustic guitar in his darkened bedroom, there are the luminescent moments of literate, even philosophical brilliance, deliciously-crafted hooks, and musical surprises.”
“After growing up punk in San Francisco, then fronting Oakland math-rock act One Step Shift for eight years, Dylan Champagne descended to his basement for some do-it-yourself, acoustic solo recording. He’s naturally adept at low volumes and his new work holds considerable promise.” – Nate Seltenrich, East Bay Express
