Album Notes

Bryon Thompson's self-titled debut is an inventive blend of semi-acoustic instrumental tracks that showcase a broad range of acoustic pop. Thompson's guitar tones range from textured acoustic to clean and slightly edgy.

There is a natural sunny flow of clean guitarmanship throughout each individual track. Thompson has a crisp guitar tone that ranges from rambling laughter to the cadence of a comfortable conversation.

His sound is eclectic without being trite, and is positive without being new age. Meditative melody and thoughtful composition are weaved successfully with the well arranged percussion.

This is a solid, compact collection of imaginative guitar studies in alternate tunings, styled and written with the soundtrack and film score in mind.

A broad range of moods is evident from the humorous candor of 'Scuffle' to the heavyhearted pause of 'Wish You Well'.

Two tracks in particular, 'Intro/Gloss' and 'Microslide', offer some short, unexpected turns and provide an enjoyable ride.
