Birthed in high school music classes and Northwest garages and raised on a heavy diet of classic R&B, Seattle grunge and melodic rock 'n' roll, Hyper Static Union enters with an album that is intensely original, instantly memorable and immensely compelling. With influences ranging from Parliament to Led Zeppelin, from Seal to Sade to Sting to Steely Dan, it's easy to see why Shawn Lewis (guitar/vocals), Ray Burnham (drums), Mike Jackson (bass) and Bryan Albrechtson (guitar) don't want to limit their sound to just one definition. Instead, this four-piece act from Vancouver, WA crafts its own style of pure musical excellence and significant lyrical impact.

If Third Day frontman Mac Powell is pumped up by this group,we all need to pay attention. This group,hailing from Washington state,is an up and comer. I love the songs Sunny Days as well as Chariot.HSU has a blues,funky beat that is very refreshing. I highly recommend this CD to all. Give it a few listens and you will find yourself agreeing with me. This is a must for any CD library.

There sure was a lot of pre release hype for this hyper Static Union's first disc Lifegiver. It all revolves around the producer Mac Powell and a belief that he wouldn't put his time and talent to a project if he didn't think it was worthwhile.
Unfortunately I think he may have found a one hit wonder. The one hit is Praying for sunny days. It got a lot of radio play but really isn't that spectacular.
Perhaps the next effort will produce less hype and better result.
