More Info
Previously unissued debut pop album by Dallas/Fort Worth natives. Produced by Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Carrie Underwood, Ry Cooder, Fiona Apple, Twenty One Pilots) Includes the original version of Keith Urban’s “Texas Time”. CD includes two bonus tracks.
“I had no idea that participating in the Explorer Tapes debut album would be such a refreshing opportunity to fall in love with modern music in a way that I hadn’t for a very long time. The highly original compositions of Max and Drew showed me first hand that there were still contemporary pop artists out there that valued melody, wit, prowess, emotional conveyance and attention to detail as much as I…the perfect blend between the head and the heart.” - Roger Manning (Jellyfish, Beck, Cheap Trick, Glen Campbell).
The story of Explorer Tapes is a classic tale of popular music. Two musicians from the Dallas/Fort Worth area took a life-long friendship and decide to start a band. They gathered some additional talented musicians from the surrounding area, wrote songs, played shows, make videos, then packed everyone in a van and drive to Los Angeles with the hope of getting signed to a publishing company, a record label, or even better - both! This is, in fact, what happened.
