In Fervor makes music.Onward Downward was recorded in New York City, in the borough of Brooklyn to be exact. In their delightfully filthy studio, packed with gear, complete with complimentary buckets of rain water from the less than trustworthy ... Full Descriptionroof, In Fervor toiled, away from hipster hangouts and seducing trends as 2006 came and went. Two pints of blood, a gallon of sweat and forty thousand cups of green tea later, they emerged, pale and under-fed, with the thirteen songs collectively known as Onward Downward. In Fervor makes music. It is music with the intensity of Black Sabbath, the raw emotion of Nirvana and the lyrical earnestness and depth of Nick Cave. It is music, further, that seemingly does not attempt to be anything other than what it is, created as if for its own sake, charting a course dictated by nothing other than itself, without pretense. What is discovered and unearthed here is limited only by the audience’s willingness to not only hear, but listen. And listening, the audience will discover music crafted with passion, layered with roaring emotion and whispered sentiment, created in such a way that each time listening is like the first, a step into ever different waters. Onward Downward is the title of In Fervor’s latest trip, simultaneously unique and familiar, personal and universal, with thirteen embedded journeys, each in their own right, each as part of the whole. The searing opener of Ground to Air pushes forward and pulls us in like one in search of an answer to an urgent question, through lonely valleys and mountainous highs like the whole album itself. We encounter the musical expression of a lyrical tangle of loss, overcoming, resolve, doubt, anger, fear, sorrow, strength, and triumph. From the acoustic guitar and cello drawn sympathetic strains of Jesus, to the mournful In The Spirit Of Self Sufficiency that feverishly climaxes as if every last drop of frustration is being wrenched and squeezed until, collapsed and exhausted, nothing is left; from the churchbell crossfade opening of the beautiful voice-driven Seething, to the crushing and triumphant return in Same Waters Twice, In Fervor offers a rigorously honest and refreshingly complex musical maze, without terminus, solution, resolution. It is a sphinx without a riddle, a mischievous collection of clues with no crime, always affording discovery and rediscovery. Onward Downward will stand the test of time because it stays true to its belief in rock and roll and refuses to treat listeners as anything other than a fellow travelers on journeys of their own; travelers willing to cross paths with others and, if only for a moment, share a joy or a sorrow, an emotion or thought. In Fervor does not want fans of something called a product or observers of a show, but to evoke engagement with the listener. Tom Waits once said that most musicians begin their careers doing poor impressions of other musicians, finding their own voice only over time; Onward Downward gives us a band that has already found their voice. This is not a young band with promise — it is already delivering. - Damian TreffsSomething about this album feels incredibly familiar, like stepping into your favorite pair of jeans or, perhaps more appropriately, that flannel shirt in the back of your closet. In Fervor is nitty-gritty basement rock that sounds more '90s-alternative than most of what Brooklyn's been emitting these days. Like all grunge/post-grunge bands, the droning, rusty, and somewhat indecipherable vocals are depressive (though certainly cheerier than Alice in Chains) and blend effortlessly, in cloudy and sludgy precision, with guitar, bass, and drums. Metal and classic-rock influenced, guitar solos, subtle harmonies, and thoughtful lyrics provide Onward Downward with a certain seriousness. The songs aren't too formulaic, yet the album flows, from start to finish, in one long breath."Jesus" and "Seething" involve acoustic guitars, while "In The Spirit of S Hide Description Onward Downward Music | List Price | $8.99 (You save $0.60) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs | | Label | CD Baby | | CD Universe Part number | 7381716 | | Catalog number | 119345 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jan 09, 2007 |

| | Jason Whitton Thriftstore Cowboy CD (2006)
Onward Downward album
$15.19
“Thriftstore Cowboy one of the best new albums of 2006.” Music-Sites.net“Perfectly suited for AAA mainstream radio,” Smother Magazine“Jason is a storyteller the likes of which we haven't heard in several years.” BloggingPoet.comCountry/Americana singer Jason Whitton spent the first few years of his life in a small rural Texas town named Bryan before his family moved to Houston in the early 70s. The first record he can remember listening to was a greatest hits collection from Elvis Presley, a treasured gift from his grandmother. Growing up in the south where country music is prevalent, it would be years before he would discover a band named The Beatles.Whitton has sung and performed most of his life and credits hearing the Garth Brooks country anthem, "The Dance," as the moment he started thinking about singing and songwriting on a professional level. After heading west and moving to California in 1990, Jason’s parents bought him a classical guitar as a symbolic gift to wish him luck in the pursuance of his career . At first, he tried playing the thing right-handed, but just like Ziggy Stardust, he played the guitar left-handed. Stringing it up-side-down, he soon began playing constantly and writing songs to sing for friends."People ask me, 'Where do you get your inspiration?' And I always tell them that normal people inspire me to write the songs I do. I feel that everyone has a story worth telling. Interesting things happen to regular people. So, I just try to listen for things that spark the ...

On the new album Live the life of a star, Erik Borelius creates a totally new breadth in his music with epic encounters between different instruments, styles and voices. He mixes beautiful, suggestive, tracks and innovative thought provoking lyrics with pirouettes from his nylon strings. The acoustic guitar, which has become one of Eric’s trademarks, is of course present on the new album. A musical journey over twenty years has meant constant development within new areas for each new album. The song has become an important part of Eric’s music. - It was a natural development for me to start singing, and even more so after the encouraging reception of my previous album. I now feel that I have an additional instrument that ...
