Rocket Ship Resort - Our Tales (2014)

In April of 2011 Rocket Ship Resort self-released Dream Catcher, a five-song EP showcasing beginning steps - the song "Starlight Speedway" was picked up and made into a track on the Rock Band franchise, and due to its widespread success "Postcard" followed, gaining positive attention from the legendary Sonic sound team at SEGA, a major influence. His music has gotten him into the Paradise Rock Club and to the filming stage with Blink-182 frontman Tom Delonge, to the front page of sites with tens of thousands of daily views, and featured online by those with prominent status in the YouTube community.
"You And Me & The Seven Seas" debuted a high speed, airship-inspired, evolved sound with prominent use of violin and fast drum and bass rhythms, paired along lyrics that read like seafaring poetry. In a viral campaign to fund the new album, RSR's fans raised over a thousand dollars in six days and sent over 500 messages in three days to its just-opened Tumblr, its videos viewed in over forty countries with CD packages sent out around the world.
RSR's new album Our Tales debuts on June 4th, 2014. Our Tales takes a twist darker, while simultaneously lending the songs even more catch. Where Seven Seas was very introspective, Our Tales is an eruption of anthem and self-actualization, meant to fill stadiums. It deals with magic, uprising, illness… Spirit, wonder, suicide, saviors… Firebirds, murderous queens, pirates, and punks… and a wee bit of love, of course. Its instrumentation is highly inspired by the magic of classic video game soundtracks, and the album's tracks cascade with lo-fi digital instruments.
