Baltimore, MD April 30, 2009 -- Baltimore, Maryland based musician and producer Brian Larsen (http://www.twilightsmoon.com) announced on April 30 that his debut solo album will be titled BREAKING. The album will be released worldwide on August 4, 2009.
As the album'ss sole songwriter, performer, and producer, BREAKING showcases the Baltimore, Maryland based artist in his most diverse and ambitious role yet. Each of BREAKING'ss thirteen
tracks draw inspiration from Larsen'ss diverse group of influences, ranging from classic rock icons like Fleetwood Mac and Lou Reed to modern indie artists like Pinback, Okkervil River,
and Death Cab For Cutie. When I decided to make this album, I knew I wanted it to be an exploration of myself both as a person and as an artist, he mentions. The songs on BREAKING are
memorable, catchy, and meaningful's8230; it'ss something that I am extremely proud of.
The new album, crafted by Larsen alone in his Baltimore studio, shows a tremendous maturation both of songcraft and sonic experimentation. BREAKING (http://www.youtube.com/watchv=mpK5zhHvL8w) ranges aesthetically from the driving indie rock of Frozen, to pulsing, danceable pop on Hold Me
Down, and from folk on Will You Remember Me to the alternative rock of Stand My Ground, with myriad genre and stylistic variations in-between.
As the front-man and sole permanent member of the band Twilight'ss Moon (http://www.myspace.com/twilightsmoon), Brian has been creating
music for more than a decade. From 1998 to 2007, Twilight'ss Moon released seven studio albums and two EP'ss; 2003'ss Broken Windows was the band'ss most recent full-length album and
2007'ss In The Meantime was the band'ss most recent EP. In addition to critical acclaim for his work with Twilight'ss Moon, Brian has also been successful behind the scenes - at the age
of 18, his marketing and promotional work on The All-American Rejects's debut album earned him three RIAA certified sales awards, including gold and platinum records and a gold DVD sales
award.
Brian will begin touring in late 2009 in support of BREAKING, performing both solo acoustic and full band concerts in the United States and abroad. In addition, with national radio and
press campaigns beginning in the summer of 2009 and music videos scheduled in support of the singles Stand My Ground and Frozen, Larsen'ss music will be exposed to an ever-increasing
group of listeners.
