Release Notes:
Person L's second full-length album, "The Positives" was released on November
17, 2009 on Academy Fight Song/Human Interest. The band embarked on a tour with
John Nolan and Brian Bonz on November 10, 2009. The record was released in the
UK on Scylla Records, Continental Europe on Artic Rodeo Records and in Australia
on Taperjean Records.
Person LÆs second album reveals several things. First, the Philadelphia
five-piece, formed in 2006 by Kenneth Vasoli, was not a one-hit wonder with
their debut, Initial, which Vasoli self-released on his label Human Interest in
August of 2008. Second, the band was not a distraction or short-term project for
Vasoli after the dissipation of his long-time band The Starting Line. And,
finally, this album, entitled The Positives, showcases such an evolution and
evidences such skill for both Vasoli and his bandmates that this is clearly only
the beginning of a very long musical career.
Following the release of Initial, Person L spent months on the road with Anthony
Green, Good Old War, Motion City Soundtrack, Steel Train and Ace Enders. They
played Bonnaroo in June of 2008, where they received accolades from Fuse and
SPIN.com. In February of 2009, the band flew down to Lakeland, FL to a studio
belonging to CopelandÆs Aaron Marsh. Vasoli, who had wanted to make a record
produced by Marsh since The Starting Line toured with Copeland, talked with
Marsh at great length about their vision for The Positives.
