Album Notes

Brian Seymour's "When I Was Blonde" showcases ten intense songs, arranged and shaped by producer Edan Cohen at Soundgun Studios in Philadelphia.

The music soars alongside Brit-smart-popsters like Coldplay but with a tough American sensibility that recalls Seymour's roots in Springsteen's Red Bank, New Jersey. The disc is a collection of some of Seymour's best songwriting, forming a compelling portrait of a major emerging talent. As a songwriter, Seymour's song 'Always Leaving' is covered by Cowboy Mouth on their CD, 'Easy,' on Atlantic Records.

REVIEWS

A public expression of private feeling.

Just one beautiful refrain after another--this is such an appealing reason to deliberately listen.

a great listen through the whole album
author: Peter
A great everyday album, put it on when you are hanging around your apartment. Seymour has some pretty good lyrics put to a sound that is simple yet very much a good American rock sound.

Ahh, this is about as good as it gets when it comes to the perfection of crunchy Americana with a creamy, Twinkie-like filling. Yes, this man knows how to fly and soar through sonic textures, staying grounded in the roots of solid rock 'n' roll all the while. With a soft touch reminiscent of Coldplay but collectively, like David Gray or Sparklehorse, we have no choice but to give this two thumbs up. But don't take our word; go get it!

Brian plays and sings with feeling and commitment
author: Daniel
Crisp professional recording of a basic rock band set up with enough reverb and echo to build a little depth. An excellent set for Brian's songs both rockers and slower numbers. Theres something about his voice that lets you know these songs are real to him.
