Zeno Beach<\/i><\/a>. To date, that\u2019s the last studio offering from the group, but Tek has remained quite busy with other project under his own name and beyond.<\/p>\nTek\u2019s latest, Long Before Day is right in line with the style for which he\u2019s come to be known. Accessible melodies, straightforward arrangement, heartfelt and workmanlike vocals and stinging, barbed-wire guitar are his stock in trade. Across 13 tracks \u2013 all but one solo compositions, with the other a cowrite with his Mrs. and guitarist Anne \u2013 Tek displays his knowing way with the landscape of rock.<\/p>\n
A rhythm section of bassist Bob Brown and drummer Keith Streng (the latter better known as guitarist<\/i> in The Fleshtones) provides superb, no-nonsense support and Tek tears his way through this impassioned, energetic set of songs. Even though the arrnagements are uncluttered, there\u2019s a grandeur about them, a cinematic sweep that takes the music places beyond the conventional.<\/p>\n
Tek\u2019s minor-key delivery imbues his songs with a moody, dangerous edge, and even when his lyrics tend toward the impressionistic, one gets the sense that he\u2019s lived these stories. And beyond just rocking, that\u2019s part of what makes music like this connect with listeners. Let Long Before Day<\/i> connect with your head and heart, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In music, there are a handful of artists who are incorrectly assumed to be form one place while actually being form another. The Bee Gees are thought of as an Australian group, but all three (well, four if one counts brother Andy) were born on the Isle of Man.<\/p>\n
