Jason's "Imaginary Cages" Released Today!
Jason’s new album of solo Warr guitar, “Imaginary Cages,” was released today. When asked of the sound in comparison to Aziola Cry, Jason responded, “I hear a lot of similarities between the two and that was intentional. The last song, “Denouement of Logic” could almost be an Aziola Cry song. My original goal was to create an album that did not require guitar and drums. It had nothing to do with not wanting to play with the guys, but rather setting a challenge for myself to see what it would sound like.“
The album may be purchased at: https://jasonblake.bandcamp.com or streamed at your favorite service.
