Static by Dave Kerzner
"Static" is Dave Kerzner's follow up studio solo album to his acclaimed debut "New World". It's a progressive rock concept album and a "rock opera" about the distractions, chaos and clutter in everyday life and about navigating past this "static interference" in our heads toward clarity and happiness.
The album features Kerzner on vocals, keyboards and guitars and he is joined by top musicians including Steve Hackett (Genesis), Fernando Perdomo (Jakob Dylan), Derek Cintron (DC3), Nick D'Virgilio (Big Big Train, Spocks Beard), Randy McStine (The Fringe), Matt Dorsey (Sound of Contact), Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd), Alex Cromarty (Mostly Autumn), Stuart Fletcher (Sea Horses), Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) and more!
"Static" is a "rock opera" with dramatic twists and turns from dark moods to uplifting atmospheric pieces to rich nostalgic rock sounds to modern alt rock edge. The album is the length of a traditional double album on one jam packed CD (or 74+ minute album on CD or download). It features the songs:
1 Prelude (0:39)
2 Hypocrites (8:29)
3 Static (5:19)
4 Reckless (5:38)
5 Chain Reaction (4:43)
6 Trust (4:46)
7 Quiet Storm (2:08)
8 Dirty Soap Box (5:43)
9 The Truth Behind (7:11)
10 Right Back To The Start (1:50)
11 Statistic (2:53)
