Next Elvis #12: The Send

Info: The Send is a creative side project by Joseph Kisselburgh, who used to play guitar for Falling Up I came across The Send a few years ago when Tooth & Nail sent me an email update on Cosmos, the first and only album The Send has released to date. Now, in spite of some ridiculously well-made and inspiring music, The Send remains dormant. While there was a post on The Send's MySpace page confirming rumors of a new album in the works, with songs already being recorded, that was more than two years ago. I don't know if good ol' Joey is intending to draw this out as long as possible, or if there is no hope of anything new from The Send, but I am thankful that Cosmos exists, because it is some seriously good stuff. Just the same, I've been placidly frothing at the mouth for new material from The Send for a good long time, and I would love to see some results. I'll keep you posted if anything happens..

Sounds Like: Hope.

Bio: From the iTunes product page: "After spending three years as the guitarist in the Christian rock band Falling Up, Oregon native Joseph Kisselburgh decided to strike out on his own. Taking bits and pieces of songs he had written while touring with his old group, Kisselburgh set out writing the pieces for his first solo album Cosmos, seizing upon the talents of producer Aaron Sprinkle to give him the sound he was envisioning. Though he compiled a five-piece band for his tour, Kisselburgh played most of the instruments on the record, which was released by Tooth & Nail records in the summer of 2007 under the Send's moniker."

Why it's going to be the next Elvis: Kisselburg's music is honest, beautiful, and moving. It is musically and thematically legitimate, and it makes me smile.
