"Choice" was released on
December 8th, 2023.
With this release Phry McDunstan once more offers a versatile mix of Alternative ("Siren"), Classic Rock ("Work With What We Got"), Modern Hard Rock ("Choice"), Instrumental Funk ("PhunkPhest"), Instrumental Grunge ("The Long Walk") as well as an epic Grunge inspired ballad in the form of "Who's Killing Who".
Jeff Bragg with whom McDunstan has been working since "Coming Up For Air" is once again on vocal duty for most of the songs but as a first, this time Phry collaborated with Canadian vocalist and audio engineer Jesse Dickson for "Who's Killing Who" who not only sings on the song but also wrote its lyrics.
Written and produced by Phry McDunstan, except "Who's Killing Who" - written by McDunstanand J.Dickson
"Time And Time Again" was released on November 25th, 2022.
Autobiographical songs like "This Is The Place" which opened Phry's debut EP, can also be found here with songs like "Time And Time Again" which thematically deals with Phry's complicated relationship with his family.
"Mirage" is a bluesy song about unrequited love and the EP's last song "Hunt For Treasure" is dedicated to a good friend, who has been struggling with himself for quite some time.
But there's also songs that deal with Phry's views and thoughts on current events and topics with "Safe And Sorry".
The collaboration with other talented musicians has always been very important to Mr. McDunstan and the fantastic drummers Glenn Welman (on songs 1,2,4,5 and 6) and Bruno Melro (track 3), as well as the very powerful, yet also soulful vocals of singer Jeff Bragg of the US band "Sons Of Alerik" enhance the songs immensely.
The EP's instrumental songs feature exciting leads of the versatile guitarist Daddo Oreskovich on "Trainwreck" and a great trumpet solo by Latin musician Frank Grillo on "Suroeste".
In summary, "Time And Time Again" is intended as a very personal, musical snapshot from Phry McDunstan's life that wants to convey his message of personal growth and self-reflection to the outside world.
All songs were written and produced by Phry McDunstan.
