Two days ago, I wrote about Haunted Summer<\/a>. It was about something beautiful coming out of a painful break-up. Two break-ups, in fact. Out of endings come new beginnings, and the results can be quite lovely. Today, I’ve been completely captivated by a new project called Many Embers<\/a><\/strong>. As with Haunted Summer, Many Embers was born out of sadness. After about 6 years of recording and performing, Eastside L.A. band Death To Anders<\/a> called it a day. But instead of finding a a sensible day job, lead singer and guitarist Rob Danson, along with George Glass<\/a> guitarist Nick Ceglio, embarked on an experiment. With no particular goal in mind, they started recording together. <\/p>\n

In a relaxed creative environment, without any thought of putting together a band, rehearsing and booking shows, they laid down tracks. Nick on guitar and Rob overdubbing programmed drums, bass, piano and vocals, or Nick contributing piano and bass. In the midst of recording, they were contacted by Death To Anders drummer Anders Griffen, who now resides in Brooklyn. He wanted to be part of the project, so they sent him a USB stick with the tracks (ah, technology!), and he laid down drum tracks. From there, they contacted Kaitlin Wolfberg (Seasons, Fort King, and yes, Haunted Summer – see how this works sometimes?), and she added violin. The (gorgeous) result can be heard below on their debut EP.<\/p>\n
