Editor's review
Oakland folktronica quartet Audio Out Send crafts delicate soundscapes with one eye on the future. These acoustic serenades are laced with analog keyboard bleeps, creating a sensation not unlike a summer afternoon at the beach on Mars. If the Postal Service members ever trade in their sequencers for acoustic guitars, they should send their royalty checks to Audio Out Send.
Biography
In the summer of 2003, Oakland based Audio Out Send released it?s first full-length album, ?or Does it Explode? For the group, the album marked a culmination of two and a half years of living and writing. The music of ?or Does it Explode? ranges from fragile and scattered to dynamic and lush. A full, layered sound flows smoothly between destinations, with a variety of instrumental arrangemnets. Though not always direct in meaning, the songs maintain a level of honesty in their approach.
With subtlety a main focus, Audio Out Send set out to record an album that would reveal itself more with each listen. They wanted ...or Does it Explode? to work as a cohesive piece of music, but still offer a wide variety of moods.
Splitting time between their home studio and Davis, CA based Electron Studios, the album was recorded over a period of 5 months. Recording far from home focused energies within an environment that was isolated from daily rountine and distraction. The process allowed for constant reviewing and refining, and gave the band much needed time for experimentation.
The group, comprised of Jeremy Detamore, Max Diez, Benjamin Jennings, and Zach Moser, released the album on their own Flashcard Project label. Since it's release, ...or Does it Explode? has been well received, and as a result, Audio Out Send continues to reach wider audiences throughout the US and the UK.
