Dean Peer's Airborne takes Bass Intrumentals to Another Level

Dean Peer has been crafting art in the musical form for years. He released UCROSS in 1991 and never turned back three years later, Travelogue happened and Peer´s back with his latest Airborne. This album is strictly instrumental, showcasing the electric bass guitar with Bret Mann on taking on the drums.

Airborne has a 70´s psychedelic feel mixed with a bass funk topped with soothing vibes. "1 Speed" has the aforementioned 70´s inspired sound. And the best example for the funk is "Waimanalo Ohana." That Hawaiian prize is the most upbeat of the Airborne crowd. Its lively nature encompasses the idea of Hawaii in a nutshell.

The lead single and title track, "Airborne" is making a dent in radio from coast to coast and even overseas with stations spinning the record weekly from Spain to California. "Airborne" is a new age gem and has even found a home on the Zone Music Reporter chart due to his radio accolades. For a complete list of stations you can hear Peer on, check out his MySpace and/or website.

Like "Airborne," many of the other tracks sound as if they were lifted from scenes of classic P.I. shows from back in the day. They have a mysterious connotation that causes instant interest. "Lucy Blue" has an immediate intro that pulls you in and keeps your interest all the way through. One can see the protagonist walking through the streets looking for his next crime scene to investigate.

Dean Peer´s Airborne is the kind of music you put on when you need a much needed break from reality. The absence of lyrics allows fans to interpret the songs as they see fit. One can put this record and be moved by the pluck of each bass chord to use their imaginations to their full potential. Fans of Jeff Beck and Steven Morse will want to pick up not only Peer´s latest Airborne but his previous releases as well.
