With the premiere of his new album, Step Forward, Taylor Thrash
emphasizes his dreamy pop/rock with a multi-dimensional span of
emotions. Taking dominant cues from sunny, piano-driven pop and acoustic
rock, these 10 tunes see-saw between introspective love songs with
heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics and heart-bursting jams about those moments
when life can't get much better. It makes sense, considering the grounds
this album was built upon.
"Step Forward is a collection of songs that I’ve written over the last two years describing the things I’ve gone through with love and without it," explains Thrash. "This record represents where I've been and where I am now." It's a vulnerable yet direct journey from the happy beginnings of "Losing My Mind" to the ukulele-infused, cleansing pop tune "Movin' On," and along the way you'll hit such highlights as "Broken," "Maybe Baby," and "Slippin.''" The album drop tomorrow [8/21] via SpaceCamper Records [distributed by Silverside/IODA] but you can spin its premiere right now. And if you have feedback, you can leave it in the comments — or with another source. "If you hate/love the album, you can email my mom at MyMom@TaylorThrash.com. She'll read em," offers Thrash.
