专辑简介

Avian Sunrise formed in the latter part of 2008 when frontman and pianist Bryan Wehrkamp presented a song he had been working on to a group of his friends. The song was “Your Broken Fall,” which Wehrkamp had been writing for his sister, Lyndsey, who had been battling depression. The song presents a message of hope, written as a plea of optimism to a troubled soul. Tragically, Lyndsey succumbed to the battle that raged inside her just days before the band’s first public performance, where Wehrkamp had planned to unveil the song to his tormented sister. With Lyndsey as an ever-present motivation, Avian Sunrise presses on to write and perform as a means of inspiration to its listeners with their melodic, creative, powerful, and moving musings. Joined with vocal harmonies by lead guitarist Luke Volden, Wehrkamp’s lyrics elicit a deep sentimentality anchored in faith, fear, and love. With Volden’s catchy, creative guitar leading the way, Corey Gross adds smooth, subtle bass tones to the band’s sound. Rhythm guitarist Matt Bump and drummer Brock Schardin round out the band’s line-up, as well as its full, moving sound.
