Audrye Sessions is the 2008 self-titled EP by the band Audrye Sessions, which was released on October 14, 2008, under Black Seal, a unit of Sony BMG.[3] It featured their first single "Turn Me Off", which fared well among critics and received airplay on the radio.

Background

[edit]

Prior to Audrye Sessions, the band was signed with an independent label and released the album Braille. This led to a major-label recording contract with RCA Records' subsidiary Black Seal for Audrye Sessions.[3] According to lead singer Karazija, inspiration for "Turn Me Off" came after watching a television special hosted by James Gandolfini about war veterans who came back injured badly.[4] He says that the song is intended to evoke "being so messed up that you want to shut off."[5] The song has been described as having an "up-tempo beat".[5] "Awake" and "Where you'll find me" have been compared musically to Radiohead.[5]

Although they did not do so extensively, Audrye Sessions supported the release of the EP with a tour,[6] and performed at the CMJ Music Marathon in 2008.[7] All four of the songs on the EP appeared on their self-titled full-length album.[8] In 2008, Black Seal released the music video for "Turn Me Off",[6] directed by Sean Desmond.[9]

Audrye Sessions received mixed reviews among critics. Reviews from Aversion were not favorable, saying the EP was "marginally boring and certainly (an) unsavory sector of modern-day indie rock",[10] and that the band provided better music live than recorded.[13] However, it has been called an instant pleasure,[11] and overall "more good than bad".[13]
