Album Notes

Andersen Silva was an original member of the cover band the Hellevators during their short-lived (and unsung) career at Rutgers University in 1987. The southpaw began playing music in earnest in 1991, with two Yamaha keyboards and a right-handed electric guitar strung backwards and played upside-down. In 1992, Andy formed the duo Not An Exit with Jon Wardell; the two continue to work and compose together sporadically.

The idea of recording a full album struck Andy in mid-'99. With his arsenal strengthened by some Macintoshes, a vintage drum machine, a bass, and a true left-handed guitar, he began writing songs for it. Five years later, "Joy in the New" was finished, a CD's worth of tracks fully created and realized by Andersen Silva (except for "Not An Exit," co-written by Jon Wardell). Andy is currently writing and recording tracks for a second CD, "Tougher Than Flannel."

Diversity !
author: Laura T Lynch of Kweevak.com
Andersen Silva is a one-man band on his twenty-one track collection entitled Joy in the New. Not only is he the composer, producer and mixer but he also handles the vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards and drum programming. Andersen is a software salesman by day but still had time to create his CD that ranges from stories about love and angst to tracks about the simple pleasures of life. His lyrics are poetic and intelligent. Andersen culls his songs from a diversity of genres including "industrial ('J-ded'), pop-punk ('Joey Ramone's Dead') and rock ('Joy in the New')". Silva covers a variety of musical territory on his first CD. reproduced the variety of sounds crafted on Joy in the New.
