Release Notes:
Aaron Gillespie is a man obsessed. Whether heÆs out in front of The Almost, his
new, eagerly anticipated rock-based project, or behind the drum kit for
Underoath, the Clearwater, Florida-bred songwriter/musician canÆt help but throw
himself into everything he does. With Southern Weather, The Almost lets
Gillespie put a different, more melodic side of himself on display. Hoping to
follow in the footsteps of his idol Dave Grohl, who stepped out from behind his
drum kit to capture the rock worldÆs hearts as one of the genreÆs most visible
frontmen, Gillespie has begun a metamorphosis. If The Almost brainchild is quick
to downplay any similarities to the Foo Fighters in their infancy, his projectÆs
debut affirms heÆs clearly worthy. Consider that The Almost is already confirmed
for the upcoming 2007 Warped Tour and that Southern Weather marks the first time
Tooth & Nail has partnered up with a major label (Virgin Records) for a joint
release and thereÆs little denying that Gillespie is about to take the ride of
his life. Southern Weather features the blistering ôCall Me Back When IÆm
Honestö and the quick, evocative ôDrive There Now!ö Performing nearly every
instrument on the disc, workhorse Gillespie aligned with acclaimed,
Seattle-based producer Aaron Sprinkle on Southern Weather. And while the two had
never met, The Almost brainchild was a big fan of SprinkleÆs work with Pedro the
Lion and they hit it off instantly.
