Release Notes:
http://www.tomihira.com/
The sound of this recording blossoms and spreads out of the speakers; a sad sky
filled with melodies burning holes in the ozone and Dean Tomihira's voice
soaring and gliding softly, a sleek hawk casting fleeting blue shadows. The
omnipresent emotional guitars offer a perfect foil to the smooth vocals û and
the effortless vocal delivery contributes to the dreamy aura of the music. An
aura generated by the space in the songs and the crisp production by the three
band members, Dean Tomihira (vocals/guitars), bassist Jeff Kay, and drummer
Markkus Rovito. I'm sure that when most trios get in the studio they want to
fill up all that space, but it's not dead air, that's living breathing ambience,
and these musicians add little flourishes that only enhance the music and space.
Talented, thoughtful musicians expressing themselves through lovely and sad
melodiesà take special note of this band, Tomihira, and their full length debut,
Play Dead... in fact, buy it and Play Dead loud.
