"Static" is Dave Kerzner's follow up studio solo album to his acclaimed debut "New World". It's a progressive rock concept album and a "rock opera" about the distractions, chaos and clutter in everyday life and about navigating past this "static interference" in our heads toward clarity and happiness.

The album features Kerzner on vocals, keyboards and guitars and he is joined by Steve Hackett (Genesis), Fernando Perdomo (Jakob Dylan), Randy McStine (The Fringe), Matt Dorsey (Sound of Contact), Nick D'Virgilio (Big Big Train), Derek Cintron, Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd), Alex Cromarty (Mostly Autumn), Stuart Fletcher (Sea Horses), Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) and more!

"Static" is a "rock opera" with dramatic twists and turns from dark moods to uplifting atmospheric pieces to rich nostalgic rock sounds to modern alt rock edge. The album is the length of a traditional double album on one jam packed CD (or 75+ minute album on CD or download). It features the songs "Hypocrites", "Static", "Reckless", "Trust", "Dirty Soap Box", "The Truth Behind", "Millennium Man", "The Carnival of Modern Life" and more!

State of Innocence
Lyrics and Music by Dave Kerzner

lyrics

State of Innocence (Lyrics by Dave Kerzner)

I used to float in waters clean
Then my soul went submarine
Out of depth far from serene

All the pieces felt like one
Till I saw the puzzle done
Now I stand doubting everyone

Wake up you dreamers see through the lie
Shake off the fear of wondering who, what or why
All in all no one is solely to blame
All of us part of this difficult game called life
Don’t be the victim of your own sword and knife
On and on the living sphere will turn
and we yearn, we burn and we learn

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
