Fans of bands like Foxing, Tiny Moving Parts, and Tigers Jaw, take note! æComeback WreckerÆ is officially the oldest song I have ever recorded and released,ö Van Deusen says. ôI wrote the chorus when I was 14. The song is about desire, shame, and cathartic anger. Musically, I wanted it to sound like a mixture of Sonic Youth, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Face to Face. ItÆs just a lot of fun to play.ö Anthem Sprinter explores shame, isolation, and angst with Van DeusenÆs typical earnestness and fervor. It serves as his sixth solo LP and his second for Tooth & Nail Records, Anthem Sprinter is a ôtime capsuleö record of once-abandoned songs, and it serves as a sort of prequel to Van DeusenÆs four-part conceptual album series, (I Am) Origami. Recorded at Ranch Land Studios with producer Andy D. Park, Anthem Sprinter is a magnetic take on a heavy, ôY2K radio rockö sound. ItÆs covered in nimble riffs and filled with capital-B ôBigö drums, further supported by snappy hooks and Van DeusenÆs emotive yet deftly controlled vocal performances. Anthem Sprinter holds the chaos and beauty of youth in two open hands, not forsaking one for the other, and it challenges the listener to do the same. John Van Deusen lives in Anacortes, Washington with his wife and two children. He also plays in the pop group, Telephone Friends. ............................................................................ LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEE!
