Product Description Suspension, the second album by the Travis Larson Band is a more varied rock guitar instrumental album with the guitar to the fore but more emphasis placed on a pace and building the tracks up to a height only to take it all down and start again. Also more emphasis is placed on the whole melodic feel and fullness of the tracks. As a result, you have an album featuring strong but mid-paced electric guitar work where time travels more slowly but the solid feel still exists. Occasionally even bluesy, this is still an album that rocks, but this time with melodies that are slightly more intricate and complex, yet losing none of the flowing elements that made so much of the first album such a cohesive success. A strong set of tunes with excellent production qualities. This is more sensibly paced instrumental rock that mixes rock and fusion well, with some spiralling guitar soloing throughout. Solid, inventive, accessible, excellent playing and writing, this is mid-paced dynamic instrumental guitar-rock at it's finest. About the Artist The Travis Larson Band is comprised of Travis Larson (guitar), Jennifer Young (bass), and Dale Moon (drums). The sound of the band is sometimes that of a stripped-down, aggressive power trio, and sometimes that of a six- or seven-piece ensemble, complete with strings, keyboards and electronic percussion. The band is not afraid of using whatever means necessary to bring the album sounds to the stage, even if it means the bass player playing keyboard parts with her feet, the guitar player doubling his parts with MIDI-assisted strings, or the drummer performing electronic percussion parts along with acoustic drums. Audiophiles love TLB for the attention to sound quality and rich orchestration. Musicians appreciate the intelligent arrangements and the dizzying level of musicianship. And just about anyone with a pulse gets wrapped up in the energy and honesty of the live performances.
