Album Notes

ILLUMINATED by the colors of an international adventure, then re-collected into an incubator for artistic expression, Brett Pemberton now launches the most passionate album of his life, 'Tokyo Twilight.' Conceived during an extensive immersion into Japanese society, traveling much of the country's landscape, Pemberton's fresh material explodes from speakers with rich emotion and dynamic Imagination. Songs "Evaporate," "Seoul," & "I die sometimes" exemplify Tokyo Twilight's rich, and super emotive pop-rock epicenter, while an effervescent handful of tracks like "Suma Sunrise"& "Class II Div II" propel the listeners into an enlightened and compositionally impressive take on modern pop/electro/dance music. The 13-track album also encompasses the essence of an Asian musical tapestry, including some of the finest integration of Japanese traditional instruments into it's otherwise, hyper-modern sound bed. Conceptually, Tokyo Twilight blends a plethora of divinely orated, poetry-tinged lyrical content with a variety of either loose, or somewhat direct romantic tales. "It's the never ending hello-goodbye, if you want the truth," Pemberton adds. "I'd spent the last three years of my life in various parts of the world and the U.S., meeting an immense array of extraordinary people, yet due to the nature of the traveler's itinerary, inevitably saying "goodbye." This album is a like a letter to my loved ones, scattered across the globe." A powerful testament to the fragile & impermanent beauty that adventure often endows, this album mysteriously and epically casts it's melodies through cinematic, other-wordly productions. In service to the beckoning of his own gypsy soul, Brett Pemberton unveils to you his journal of sound, through the ever surreal, & always luminous scope of TOKYO TWILIGHT.
