Sebastien Grainger - Sebastien Grainger & the Mountains

Canadian musician Sebastien Grainger is making his mark on the music industry with his new album. Former singer and drummer of Death From Above 1979 recently released his first full-length solo album in October 2008 on Saddle Creek Records titled Sebastien Grainger & the Mountains.

The album consists of twelve tracks that embrace the raw energy of a live show, making the listening experience quite enjoyable. Every song is essentially a different story; each one a fusion of styles that result in a great dance punk record. Choice tracks include "Love can be so mean", "(Are there) Ways to come home?", "American names", and "Renegade Silence". Grainger's approach to music is unique in it's entirety, as seen on this album. The emotion he puts into his vocals allows for variation in evoked moods that keeps the listener interested throughout all twelve tracks.

Sebastien has successfully produced a dozen shots of energy and lasting satisfaction. Only two years after the break up of his previous duo, Grainger has managed to create a handful of catchy tunes and an overall successful album. The delivery of music on this record is nothing short of an accomplishment.
