Cresswell, Chris

***THE FLATLINERS' CHRIS CRESSWELL dials down his trademark screams to a simmering, melodic growl, and hands in his wailing electric guitar for a more soulful acoustic on the latest One Week Records release. Originally conceived by Lagwagon frontman, and now highly evolved solo-artist, Joey Cape, the idea behind One Week Records was to enlist his favorite musicians to come to his professional live-in studio where they’d collaborate to produce and record an entire album in, you guessed it, one week. The process begot some of Cresswell’s most intimate and honest music to date. All 10 tracks encapsulate warm yet stirring melodies that create a feeling of proximity rarely displayed on a recorded album. Flatliners fans will be immediately charmed by this new incarnation of Chris’ unique and gripping songwriting. (STREET DATE - 10/14/2014)
