TVA: A Concept Album in 3 Parts...

We're working on a concept album in three parts. Based on a concept that we feel everybody of any faith has struggled with at one point if not constantly. 

 

"The logician spends his entire life trying to fit heaven into his head, while the poet is just trying to get his head into heaven." -G.K.Chesterton

 

A good book comes in three phases. First comes the Abstract. Academic literature uses the abstract to succinctly communicate complex research. For us this phase was more than anything an effort to force ourselves to really hone in on the thesis of our work. What's the theme and how many parts are necessary in our work to communicate it? Ours came in four: Thesis, conflict, climax & resolution. It can stand alone but more than anything we hope ours enhances your listening experience by highlighting all the main points.

 

Next comes the actual work. Ours will follow the mind and heart along it's journey from unbelief to faith and struggle that so many of us experience between the mind and the heart. We try and explain to ourselves and others things of spiritual nature with terms that have rigid structure and logic. It won't work. We need "poetic grunts, metaphors and puns", we need an artistic, abstract approach, but ever since the enlightenment something about our nature won't allow that. We need a bottom line. We need to find "X". This struggle provides more than enough material for writing and covers everything from a believers first skeptic glance, to the deepest moments in encounters with a living God.

 

Last comes the Appendix. A supplemental addition to a given main work. It may correct errors, explain inconsistencies or otherwise detail or update the information found in the main work, especially if any such problems were detected too late to correct the main work. Ours will add a new perspective. Often after the work is done new perspectives come about due to a new stance. We hope to remix and re-write some songs accordingly.

 

We're Working on a concept album in three parts:

 

1. Abstract

2. TVA: A work by The Vinyl Affair

3. Appendix: The Remix

 

The truth is this album sounds smarter than we are. We're 5 very normal very flawed guys, and this album will hopefully reflect struggles and successes that are familiar with most people.

 

We hope you enjoy our music, test it, hold on to what is good and  stick with us as we keep
making new music.

 

TVA loves you,
