The essence of music comes from the dew dripping off of a rainbow, wetting the unicorn’s hooves, deep within the clarity of the sun. It blinds every heart to pursue the truth of new beginnings. Now let me ask you a question…did that make any sense to you? It makes life changing sense…hope your life is changed even before reading this blog!!
Music is an incredible way to communicate a message. We are so pumped to be given the chance to do that through Absolute. Elle started with that desire, to use music as a way to reach out. With our vocalist, Danielle, Guitarists, Graham and Brendan, Bassist, Justin, and Drummer, Darryl, each have a story to tell through the music they play. With the recent release of their debut album entitled “Light of You”. The band has been working hard to pull everything together, so they could hit the road for the four month tour with absolute.
The group first started with Danielle and Graham about 2 years ago. We began writing, and creating our sound. From start to finish, the album took around one year to complete. It was an incredible experience. We recorded in a studio called the Night Deposit in Calgary Alberta. It was there that our pop, rock sound was solidified, and we were all very excited about how the album turned out.
Now that it’s released we’re working hard on the road! Our tour began with Absolute at the beginning of February, and my have we been having a crazy time! We arrived in Hamilton with a bang! Everyone on the team came down with some weird sickness. Darryl is originally from
Graham dropped something heavy on his foot, and broke his toe. Danielle came down with a case of some kind of skin reaction to bugs or some environmental toxin!! Justin was deathly ill making noises that would unnerve anybody. It was a hilarious couple weeks. Honestly though going into the schools and seeing how the students react to our music, and our message makes all our sick (not the cool “sick”) experiences all worth it. Everything that comes with touring is all worth it when you see things like emails telling us how what we do changed their lives. Those emails and those conversations would cause anyone to be moved with passion to move forward with their dreams.
We are so excited for the future of where we will go with this. Every song on our album has a purpose to affect people in positive ways. To make them think, to give perspective, to give hope. We love what we do, and we love that we have an opportunity to do what we love with Absolute.
