Release Notes:
--------------
Dave LemonÆs debut album, Stumble In, is an encapsulated tide of
melodic energy, with dark lyrical undercurrents, pulled from an abyss
of memories. The songs are born of experience through living in an
unsettled world. His band adds an energizing rhythm to the mix.
The themes found in tracks from "Stumble In" contain both introspective
observation and witness to societal ills. Dave Lemon explores the
challenges of making a buck found in Plasma Junkie, Job Hopper and
Relax. The song Cell transmits social isolation. There is also
celebration of being a free spirit as a teenager in Remember. There is
an excessive indulgence in Stumbled In. The album would not be
complete without the surprise revelation found in Freaky Freddie.
Dave Lemon transmits experiences, observations and social conditions
into a lyrical story. He explores the under belly of society. The
debut album entitled Stumble In, further solidifies the songs that roam
inside his head.
Somewhere between REMÆs Michael Stipe and Arlo Guthrie lies the land
that Dave Lemon wanders. ThereÆs a bit of Richard Thompson in the mix
as well. Ten upbeat pop songs with a radio edit version of ôCellö to
boot. The cd starts off with ôRelaxö which is all about just that.
ôStumbled Inö is a high-octane hoedown about the woes of overindulging
and so is ôPlasma Junkieö. ôFreedom Of Choiceö paints a picture much
like a Springsteen song . ôJob Hopperö is a sheik of Arabia trip
through unemployment with Beatlesque lyrics. Some interesting stuff
here...
