Album Notes

Mixing elements of rock, indie, folk, and downbeat, Cyrus has gained increasing notoriety over the years for their artistic sensibilities and passionate approach to music. Based in Lubbock, Texas, the group began playing in the spring of 2001 and released their self-titled debut LP in November 2003. Their latest album, Source, was entirely recorded and produced by the band itself and released in December 2007.

Source represents an exciting step forward for the band as they explore new instruments and styles, while maintaining their signature electric/acoustic sound and commitment to artistic authenticity. "delusional," the first track off the album, was recently voted #1 in alternative-rock and #2 among all genres in the March 2008 ourstage.com music competition.

"After giving a listen to Cyrus's newest cd, there's nothing but good thoughts in my head. It's tough for a hard-nosed music critic to be surprised by anything on a new cd. But after listening to Source, the cynicism is worn down, and what grows in its place is appreciation for a band with ambition beyond the lowest common denominator. there is variety and an excellent use of dynamics throughout. Also, the songs never overstay their welcome. the album is brisk, compelling, and easy to play over and over again." - Study Breaks Magazine
