MP3 Stranger Spirits - Empty City
11 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Modern Rock, ROCK: Folk Rock
Details:
" . . . powerful, intense sound, which fluctuates from brooding droners to pumped-up power pop. Wimberly''s vocals are well suited to the fuzzed out, effect-laden guitars. The band''s debut disc, "Empty City," is a perfect example of ''do it yourself'' ingenuity."

" . . . Stranger Spirits'' experimentation is worth checking out. There are great musical moments here. Singer Chris Wimberley is at his best in "Mysterious," hitting a high note that echoes the song''s expression of the vulnerability of a crush. I like the early MTV pop feel of "Alone." And "What Can I Do?" is the song David Bowie and Peter Gabriel should record together. The lyrics are strong, without a cliche in the bunch. I''ll be very interested to hear future efforts from this band to see where that constant pushing and experimentation takes them. In the meantime, they''ve made a promising debut."

A BRIEF BIO:
The Stranger Spirits create original sounds and songs with enough danceable rhythm and catchy melody to interest and entertain listeners. In their efforts to do so, they also aim to have enough textured lyrical meaning and musical depth underneath the surface of the typical radio song format to keep the listener involved in the song long after a few listens.
Drummer Chris Anderson, and singer/songwriter Chris Wimberley met and formed the Stranger Spirits in 2000 during the recording of a songwriting project by Chris Wimberley entitled "Empty City." Having become familiar with each other''s individual styles and strengths in the studio, Anderson and Wimberley began playing live in the summer of 2000.
After only a few months of energetic, crowd pleasing shows it became clear to band and audience alike that they had created something far bigger and better than anticipated. The attention paid in the studio to songwriting, production, and musicianship had begun to pay off. This combination made way for a band with emotional, textured and more importantly, fun music.
The songs on their album "Empty City" are lyrical snapshots of places and situations where people are separated and detached from each other and consequently, themselves.
While all of these songs were written sharing common themes concerning the absence of cultural bonds, each song was written to stand alone as a song about love and change. At times, the production of the album attempted to use a variety of musical genres to accompany its common themes.
The Stranger Spirits have used this approach as a jumping off place for their future work together.
