notes

Note to Self are not heroes. They just do heroic things. Have you ever witnessed the birth of a colt during a complete solar eclipse? Seen the aurora borealis through a waterfall on the mighty Amazon? These are but everyday occurrences when set next to the behemoth of an experience that is Note to Self. Men have lived and died without even dreaming of the likes of the emotions that they evoke with wave upon wave of complexity. “Music” is too pedestrian a word to use to describe the ecstasy that they bring with their voices and instruments. And “humble” is too proud a word to describe the attitude with which they work. Their sound transcends who they are, as they have liberated music from the constraints of the simple social constructs which Note to Self are above.

Seriously, though…

Too often music becomes all about the artists and their abilities. Note to Self have no such pretenses. They claim to be nothing other than a group of guys that intensely enjoy good music. To them, trying to make good music is just a natural extension of that. The result is music that speaks to each of our experiences in thoughtful lyrics and passionate performances. The many layers of their songs reveal their broad range of influences and a sound that is uniquely theirs. Ultimately, their goal isn’t to stand in the limelight, but to make music as their day jobs. Because after all, don’t we all strive to do what we love?

  • An impressive second album
    author: Danarchy

    The musical style has really matured on this installment of the Note to Self musical saga. Some tunes are introspective ballads reminiscent of the first release, while other tracks like "Nothing Can Stop Us Now" are pure, unabashed rock. As a fan of heavier music in general, it would be nice to hear these guys really kick out the jams, but this release maintains its intensity over an impressive range of moods and dynamics, a true sign of Note to Self's competence as musicians and songwriters.

  • Better than the first!

    This CD is vastly improved over the first Note to Self CD. The rhythms and style got me into the music from Track 1. Many people will love this CD!

  • Seriously Though!
    author: Biggest Fan Eva

    Not since Digable Planet's release of "I'm cool like dat" (the rebirth of slick) have I been in such anticipation over an album! Seroiusly though.

  • Big tease!
    author: Rice Cracker

    The 2 min. clips on CD baby already tell the story of a matured sophomore release from these talented guys! I cannot wait until I can get my hands on the real thing, each of these clips has had me at the edge of my seat wanting more. Well done gentlemen! If you like music at all, you will love this album. Period.
