“Reinventing the Heartbeat”- E for Explosion

Spring Break is here! Which means I finally have a chance to update! Sorry guys, but I’ve either been doing newspaper stuff or exam prep or something else lately and haven’t gotten the chance to get online and update. Now that I’m here, time for a new CD review!

So yeah, it pays to have a co-editor who has access to the latest album releases. It really does. And on that note, here’s “Reinventing the Heartbeat” by E for Explosion. E for Explosion is basically James Covington and some very talented instrumentalists. He does an amazing job of putting everything together. Not to mention he’s with an indie label instead of some major label, which I totally respect. If you need anymore of a reference, he’s a former half of the band JamisonParker. Now, describing the music is kinda hard. It walks the ine between Boys Like Girls-pop and a completely new style altogether. The reason I commented on the instruments before is that Covington brings together these instruments like it’s a science. A science that he’s the supreme overlord of! The blend lets the listener really feel the music. Covington’s meaningful lyrics add to the flowing beat, too. But make no mistake, this isn;t an album of yoga songs. There are some really upbeat songs in here (hence my Boys Like Girls reference)! A couple to look out for: “I Explode” and “Saving Lives.” I know both songs are on Youtube and the band probably has a Myspace (could anyone let me know if they do?). Check them out!
