Album Theme: Taking The Road Less Travelled. Listen to Heat Haze, Open Road, Tumbleweed Hallucinations and Pacific Coast. A renegade is someone who rejects lawful or conventional behavior. Jack Kerouac hit the road in a series of aimless roadtrips from 1947 to 1950, documenting his infamous memoirs in "On The Road". Did he know then that he would not only change the culture of travelling, but influence an entire "Beat" generation of musicians, poets and writers? RENEGADE ROADTRIP is dedicated to all of you roadtrippers out there who see life as a journey and the path as your goal.

Minds And Music
Heat Haze
Looking out at the shimmering road ahead and instantly knowing just how hot this day is gonna be. Bright and shiny open highway guitars and feelgood synths hit a bump of cool distortion and reverse wah-wah waves along the way. So high and happy.
2:30 · 137 BPM
Open Road
Settling in for the long haul in the hopes of reaching a new life beyond the horizon. Choppy electric guitar and creamy vanilla synths roll into a different time zone and state of mind. The sweetest scent of sound.
2:23 · 85 BPM
Tumbleweed Hallucinations
Drowsy driving now and starting to see things like tumbleweeds coming at me. Edgy and mysterious guitars looming up the road before lifting off into an open sky of hypnotic glorious synths. And the bus just rolls right over the thorny obstacles the wind has blown in its way.
2:49 · 133 BPM
On The Run
And suddenly out of the blue, the cops are on our tail. Gritty raw guitars and driving drums chased up by funkadelic riffs on a desperate run from the law.
2:39 · 122 BPM
Now we're out in the sticks with a bunch of suspicious hicks taking long unfriendly looks at us. Mysterious undulating ambient synths, dreamy twangy guitars and a gritty beat.
2:58 · 88 BPM
The Signs
Officer, I just told you - the signs were there, but I just couldn't read them. Hypnotic modular synths, bright and shiny guitars, a steady backbeat and dreamy male vocals.
3:02 · 110 BPM
Full Throttle
Put the pedal to the metal. Let's get the hell out of here. Distorted mechanical reverb joined by euphoric guitars and taking off into an ethereal atmosphere of golden synth strings and pounding drums. High on sonic speed.
2:16 · 110 BPM
The Breakdown
Car trouble. Happens every time. And always in the middle of nowhere. Nervous pulsing and uneasy snaps followed by interwoven road movie guitars and unsettling quirky sound fx. Anxiously waiting for the towtruck that's definitely taking its sweet little time.
2:18 · 105 BPM
New Dawn
A new day and we're rolling again. Countrified chiming electric open road guitars and a smooth drum groove spell out the word f-r-e-e-d-o-m. Retro-American moody & mysterious landscapes. California here we come.
2:14 · 120 BPM
Renegade Roadtrip
Fasten your seatbelts. This is the final stretch. Clanking cow bells and upbeat twangy guitars flare up into a renegade rock ride. Relaxed drive in cruise control yet bursting with positive energy.
3:28 · 130 BPM
Drive Hard
Remember when Nevada had no speed limit? Driving rock track featuring fuzzy raw reverb-soaked electric guitars, hard pounding drums and bass, and screeching sound fx. This one's for all notorious leadfoots out there.
2:03 · 120 BPM
Pacific Coast
We made it! A sign at the end of the Santa Monica Pier lets us know that our Renegade Roadtrip has come to a screeching halt. Fare thee well old Route 66. What a long strange trip this has been. Dreamy otherworldly synths in awe of the Pacific Ocean are joined by a thoughtful bassline, floating guitars and a decisive "this is the end of the road" beat.
