| "Chase" by Kiyoshi Graves (CD) |
As the son of a second-generation Japanese American mother and a father of mixed French/German descent, Kiyoshi Graves is a rising artist who straddles the line of his bi-racial identity and combines a diverse set of influences from Paul Simon to Radiohead to The Who, resulting in a unique sound that seamlessly blends elements of Classic Rock, Modern Rock and Americana.
His first full-length album Chase is a collection of 10 original songs by Kiyoshi featuring stories of journey and discovery. The songs range from high-energy and adventurous as on the title track "Chase" to atmospheric and introspective as on the track "Finish Line." The album also features the tracks "Everything," an angst-ridden response to those who doubt your pursuit of your dreams, "Reckoning," a song that pays tribute to the soldiers who fight our wars but questions the purpose of those wars, "So Much More," a teenage crush anthem, and "Line," a reflection on how each of us can make a difference in the world by starting on an interpersonal level.
Chase was produced by Evan Frankfort (The Wallflowers, Pete Yorn, Orson, The Bangles, etc.) and features the organ playing of Rami Jaffee of The Wallflowers throughout the album.
