David Messier is set to release two music videos from his recent release Waiting For Eldridge out now, everywhere on Fable Records. This is David Messier’s debut solo album, as the former front man of the Boston band Papermoon he has three previous released albums. Waiting For Eldridge is a culmination of years of playing, guitar, drums, piano, songwriting, and producing music. For David, the private radio station that constantly plays in his head is finally available to everyone to hear. 10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:”Arial”,sans-serif;color:black’>Waiting for Eldridge“Why in the world should I calm down?” and Eldridge said “that is the hook. Do that again.” I only did it once in the whole song and he said “no you gotta do that at every turn”, I said – Jesus he is right. So I went over to his house and he produced that song for me and it came out better than anything I had ever done. He then produced 9 more for me.” line-height:150%;font-family:”Arial”,sans-serif;color:black’>David Messier’s music is inspired by the likes of Little Richard, Velvet Underground, Philip Glass and sounds very much like a young Tom Petty with a touch of Tom Waits. The 10 track album, Waiting For Eldridge, was called an “expanse of talent and ideas” by the Austin Chronicle and KUTXsaid “Messier is a hurricane force of music.” line-height:150%;font-family:”Arial”,sans-serif;color:black’>A standout track from the album is “Everything Breaks My Heart.” For David this track pushed him into new territory. He recalls, “this is the moment where I broke some new ground. “Everything Breaks My Heart” is a track where I really heard something new.” Another album highlight with an upcoming video release is “Franklin’s Key.” David’s gritty voice gives the track a vintage sound along side the use of the marimba and bari saxophone provides a sound scape of electricity. The track “Keeping Up With Fashion,” had the strongest reception and according to Messier, it sounds like a dirtier and grittier version of Paul Simon’s Graceland. A video for “Keeping Up With Fashion” will be released in late winter. 10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:”Arial”,sans-serif;color:black’>Waiting For Eldridge “Helvetica”,sans-serif;color:black’>
