THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Multi-faceted glam rocker Gyasi (say Jah-See) delivers his second studio album Here Comes The Good Part” a glittery and fun universe filled with infectious hooks and searing guitar riffs, alongside songs of self-transformation.
Teaming up with co-producer Bobby Holland, Gyasi expands his sound, exploring a wider palette of musical ideas. Mostly recorded with his touring band, it also features guest appearances by fittingly flamboyant drummer Daru Jones (Jack White, Pete Rock). Here Comes The Good Part is a bold exploration of theatrical rock n’ roll, viewed through the lens of a small-town West Virginia kid seeking self-discovery.
In truth, Gyasi seems in many ways to come from another planet, though being raised in the woods of a holler might as well be another planet in this day and age. His parents bought him a guitar at a local flea market when he was six years old and he still hasn’t gotten rid of the fleas or the guitar. He approaches his music as an all-encompassing art piece, using fashion, storytelling, and his guitar to create a world for his music.
Inspired by a wide range of art and culture both past and present, his work is fueled by an undeniable passion to create music that brings rock ’n’ roll into the 21st century. Every show is an intense and unpredictable performance with a theatricality that personifies every song, carried by his magnetic persona of the glittery rock star. With thunderous riffs, masterful guitar work, and songs that celebrate self realization with cues from Lou Reed and David Bowie, Gyasi is taking the essence of theatrical rock ’n’ roll and adding a new voice to it.”
