Mitch Easter - Dynamics

2007 solo album from pop legend Mitch Easter and fans of his career work will find this one, especially Let`s Active fans, extremely rewarding and satisfying. I`ve tuned to it two times all the way through and I`m surprised at how fresh and exciting most of this material sounds and, with many of the songs, reminding me of Let`s Active. Check out "1/2 Way Street", "Break Through", "To Be, Cool Thing" and "Why Is It So Hard?" below as they are an accurate gaze at the rest of this 14 song album. It`s been 18 years since his last release - 18 years!!

To some Mitch Easter might be best known as the guy who produced R.E.M.`s classic album, Murmur. To others he`s best known as the front man for `80s new wave outfit Let`s Active. The band`s fruitful career included consistent touring and the release of four albums on IRS Records, one of which broke the Billboard Top 200. In addition to R.E.M. he`s also produced albums for Helium, Ken Stringfellow (The Posies) and Velvet Crush, among others. The 90s saw Mitch`s production work eclipsing his performing, but now he`s back in action as a bandleader with new songs, new guitars and new energy. The resulting album, Dynamico, is a collection of fourteen glittering gems with signature Mitch Easter sounds and playing. More than a welcome return, it`s an event for many of us.
