   About Asa Ransom



the mystery which happens only
and whenever we are faithful to ourselves!

..



Asa Ransom introduced their unique and innovative sound to the New York music scene in July 2008. Over the next 6 months they played over sixty shows in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan with the likes of Titus Andronicus (XL Recordings) and The So So Glos (Green Owl Records), recorded an album and embarked on a 3 month, 65 date U.S tour in January 2009.

Jacob Bills (vocals/guitar), Daniel Boivin (drums) and Darryl Specht (bass/vocals) met in Marion, Indiana during school. Sons of preachers, professors, postal workers and housewives, this unlikely group found in each other a shared love of music and the mysteries of the unknown. Looking to explore their curiosities, they spent the next five years in New York City expanding new ideas of life and music. When long-time friend Bobby Gray (piano/vocals) entered the picture, the group formed as Asa Ransom in June of 2008.

Asa Ransom’s sound has the ability to stand completely on its own. Their dance-inspired, dramatic style of instrumentation is upbeat and delivered with vibrant intensity. Vocals drift through an epic of phantom sounds. Melodic bass and feral drums rumble under chiming guitar and percussive keyboard, conjuring at once memories of forgotten corners and textures of the future.

Both their recorded music and live shows are spirited, dynamic and riddled with curiosities. An Asa Ransom Release (released in the U.S. on April 10th) is a scattered display of seven songs with the beginnings of a new architecture for pop music.

Asa Ransom, with the pre-tour addition of Ryan Sartin (percussion/re-sounding), returned to New York on April 18th to a sold-out homecoming show. The band will spend the summer finishing writing and recording their much anticipated second release, due out fall ‘09.

FLAVORPILL (march 2009):
The echoey reverb, agitated percussion, and precise piano stabs that flank Asa Ransom's sound may be fairly common indie signifiers. But the New York quintet whips them into such a convulsive, dancey rave-up, it's pointless to quibble. Still, it's their well-deserved live rep that precedes them.

The Deli Magazine NY (January 2009): TOP 50 BANDS OF 2009

San Francisco Examiner (February 2009):
"Dressed in a crazy array of bowler hats, trenchcoats, leather striped pants, and shell necklaces, they danced frenetically to every number they played. Their versatility was astounding. The end result was a sound that made it impossible to hold still. Within a minute or so of hitting the stage, most of the room was on their feet dancing to Asa Ransom."

New York Press (January 2009):
Bathed in an epileptic rainbow as the Ransom boys close out the tune, the basement venue rattles and rumbles with the force of a discotheque.

First Coast News (March 2009):
An Asa Ransom Release is a superb debut from a band who are well beyond their err months (you can't even say years because this band is THAT new)…fantastic pop songs that are twisted and dynamic and unafraid to try new things.

Thank you so much for playing the wet Midsummer mess in Bushwick! You sounded amazing. My Uncle Steve said, "That guy (Jacob) needs a bigger stage!", ha ha ha, I agreed.
Anyway, it was cool, and hopefully next time it won't rain on my parade, dammit.
Cheers!
