about
This four song collection was written mainly for a local electronic dance band known as John Henry’s Revenge. Unfortunately the songs were not recorded or produced until after the band suddenly parted ways. Shocked and discouraged at the abruptness of it’s ending, Chris was still determined to work diligently to find a home for his orphaned songs. Coming full circle a year later Pena is looking forward to picking up where the previous band left off.
The music itself is a mixture of Pulsing synths, Punchy Basslines and Art-Rock sections amplifies the precarious state of mind which is somewhere between angst and ambition. Resolution also explores in four different songs what drives and steers us to make a change. All this to the tune of Electro-funk sauteed with a dash of jazz-infused pop.
