Bio: The songs that Chase Pagan writes are timeless in nature, and seem to come from deep within an old soul trapped in a young man's body. After hearing his records, one can imagine him locked away in the confines of his mountain home (coincidentally named Mountain Home, AR), far from the influences and mediocrity of contemporary pop culture, as he paces the floors with guitar in hand, paying homage to many classics through new sound. Not to suggest that Chase apes on the past master artists of music. Rather, Chase's songs bring a welcome familiarity that renders each tune instantly recognizable, yet completely fresh and distanced from the banality that floods the modern internet and airwaves of today. His recordings sound suited for vinyl if that makes sense...which prompted us to release his debut LP, Oh, Musica!, in that format.
Chase's second album was recorded in the fall of 2008 with Chad Copelin in Norman, OK. His recent material is more upbeat and uplifting than the brooding material of his debut. Chase is happily content with his station in life, snug between the walls of his mountain abode, and it's reflected in his latest work. When Chase isn't behind his piano or keyboard penning his solo material, he also logs time as a contributing member to fellow Esperanza act, Little Rock's Bear Colony. (less)
