Avi Ghosh - Severing The Tie

Brainchild of Defy’s frontman, Avi Ghosh, “The Art of Feeling Low” encapsulates all fans have come to love about Defy, and then some. Raw in emotion (though not in production), Avi Ghosh has masterfully produced this full length album to center around something everyone can relate to – a tragic end to a close relationship. The entire CD is a journey from the beginning pains of a break-up to the ultimate resolution of moving on, and everything in between. The album is cathartic for both the artist and the listener, I’m sure.

Defy had already wowed me in the past with excellent song structure and production skills, and this new album surpasses the band’s previous efforts. While I more closely associate Defy with industrial rock bands such as Celldweller, Avi Ghosh’s solo project has a darker alternative sound, reminiscent of the best aspects of A Perfect Circle. The songs are innovative and catching, leaving this album as a top pick to be left on repeat in anyone’s CD player.
