Spyn Reset to Release Sophomore Album in January

Genre-bending electronic instrumentalists Spyn Reset will make an appearance at The Comet Tavern on Monday, along with pop rock newcomers Open Blue. Fresh from the recording studio, Spyn Reset are set to follow up their 2009 debut, Objects in the Abstract, in January. Composed of four musicians with disparate talents and tastes, the band self-produced their sophomore effort, the 11-track Four Dimensional Audio, which they say will combine the jazz-inflected spontaneity of their first album with a carefully constructed framework. Opening track "L.E.D." is a marriage of flowing synthetic melodies and the clean rhythmic structure provided by drummer Pierson Martin and percussionist Thomas Whiteside. The combination of compositional complexity and impulsive experimentation delivers what the band promises, and suggests growth that could help the recording eclipse their first outing.

Spyn Reset and Open Blue, December 12 @ The Comet Tavern
