  • Bio

    ....Buy ..Flyover State.. ..here..!.. Boston’s David Brusie returns with his second record, Flyover State, which resonates with the same folk fragility and pop sensibilities that made his debut EP Half-Extravaganza a fan favorite. The new album possesses incredible breadth, showcasing short, classic folk-pop gems..... David started recording Flyover State in Minneapolis in the fall of 2006, though many of the songs were written in late 2004 and early 2005 - shortly after his father died and David was in the midst of a cross-country move with his wife. As he wrote songs about his dad’s death, it was clear that much of the record would aim its focus on loss and the mourning process. Some songs, however ("Big Five-Star Spaceman", "Everything Is Different”), had nothing whatsoever to do with death, resulting in an incredibly personal album with universal flourishes and unexpected humor..... A major theme of this record is mental and physical dislocation. David just returned from a five-year stay in Minneapolis, and the American Midwest was vastly different from the small-town New England of David’s youth. Arriving there so soon after his father's death had a profound impact, but the experience wasn’t entirely negative, despite the circumstances, and writing these songs in Minnesota was a great exercise. Accordingly, many of these songs sound different from what David’s written before, both in subject matter and production..... Drummer Jesse Fox and bassist Simon Hutchinson, who David knew from college, provide the rhythm section on Flyover State. They recorded their parts from afar – Simon in Tokyo and Jesse in Portland, Oregon - and ended up making changes that were integral to the final songs. Producer Josh Baesler, a professional singer, also made significant contributions..... ..Flyover State.. is not to be missed..... {E-MAIL DAVID [AT] DAVIDBRUSIE.COM TO GET ON THE MAILING LIST!}
