Summary

The Travis Larson Band presents its second full-length release, Suspension, featuring engaging compositions, inspired performances, and rich, clean production. This CD will appeal to anyone who likes their rock and roll with a little depth - emotional depth, intellectual depth, musical depth. From crushing, up-tempo rock to lyrical, solo guitar, this album touches all of those hard-to-reach places. The opening cut on Suspension, "934", is an epic journey with jarring unison runs and soaring melodies. A raw, passionate cover of the classic "Georgia On My Mind" features a guest appearance and extended introduction by Grammy Award-winning bassist Victor Wooten. "Powerdown" is a twisted, schizophrenic, groove-fest. Balancing out the album are powerful, melodic ballads ("Return To Zero", "Aftertouch"), all-out double-bass rockers ("Frantic Manic"), and sensitive acoustic tracks. Consider also the hypnotic, percussion-tinged, "Sandusky Trail", the relentless, odd-metered "Crosstalk", and the huge, off-balance swagger of "Squeeze & Shake". On Suspension, prepare yourself to enjoy a dizzying level of musicianship.
