So, I have been an aspiring rock star, guitar teacher, stay at home Dad and recording engineer for quite some time. Like any musician I have heros and influences, but I discovered a long time ago I have a unique musical vision. Dark Roast is mostly me, but includes everyone else who contributed their own notes to the overall flavor.
My own taste in music runs the gamut of genres - my first concert was John Denver (with the Starland Vocal Band who had managed to create a hit single about the joys of sex in the afternoon), but other historical faves include Suicidal Tendencies, The Police, Mastodon, Primus, Alice In Chains, Dada, Joe Satriani, The Grateful Dead, Bad Religion, Rush and The Cars. I also love the local Columbus scene; it's been great since I moved here in the era of Rob Brumfiel and The Dogz and right now it seems particularly pungent (too many bands to mention here). The above list of bands, by the way, will tell you very little about what this album, Bystander Effect, sounds like.
The Dark Roast roasting process releases the aroma and flavor that is locked inside your soul. When roasting is complete you are ready to be ground, brewed and receive a deeply robust pour. A flavor-saturated originality that embraces a full toned acidity. Savor the silky and buoyant feel all the way through the flavor saturated end.
Brightness and light develops into a deeper body that only the living of life and the finality of death can bring. Indulge in this uninhibited robust full flavor that only deep roasting can achieve.
A sturdy forthright blend that occurs when reality grinds you to perfection. Stable and strong endurance to stand against any dilution with milk or sugar. Receive the strength in defiance to the extreme.
The elegant fine tuned sip of deep elegance with a chocolaty ribbon of strength that winds inside you to withstand the cost of your actions. Fortify yourself to this intimately bracing vibrant response.
Deep throaty sustaining bold flavor when facing the consequences of a single brassy note. The end carries through the promise when this cup runneth over; Not a half-cup gas station throw away brew.
Impossibly complex compression of heady flavors created by the torquing of the mill. Pull into this cuppa to sustain to another day.
A dark stormy brew couples with the smoky bitter strength of a stout resolution. Resonate with these notes to survive.
A sweet deep, intense but balanced brew. Tap open the top to be shared with one and all.
An aggressively savory expression to harmonize with balanced complexity. Bring forward this intensity to supplement each moment.
A deep complex but crisp structure that delivers a balance between sweet and tart. Swallow this sound to feel the resonating end.
Experience the rich intricate delicate sounds of a structured response. Feel the individual notes consolidate into a tsunami of melded ideas. Sit back and feel this one strengthen your stamina against the towering waves.
Crisp, bold and riveting, the basic components will fortify and consolidate your resolve. Integrate the sweet-savory balanced blend.
A secret brew for those who stay until the end.
