Artist: Subject to Thoughts

 Title: From Sunrise to Sunset 

 Label: Self - Release

Subject to Thoughts are Mark Mendieta and Brandon Strader. Their album “From Sunrise To Sunset”, offers listeners an opportunity to experience their growth from past collaborations, with their work on “From Sunrise To Sunset”. Mark headed the album with his excellent lyrical and musical arrangements and with accompanying vocals; Brandon took on the role of lead vocalist and guitar solos, very nicely, especially with the solos…cool man! The album consists of 11-tracks, songs, which are progressive, emotional, and heavy, and travel on ethereal train tracks guiding the listener into the words Mark and Brandon created.

The album, for me, gave me insight into the openness and the creativity of Mark and Brandon on a different level in regard to their musical aspirations as team players, compared to those who’ve already familiarized themselves with the individual music stylizations of Mark and Brandon. Mostly though, my biggest coo goes to the impressive lyrics and key guitar solos…I applaud you both for your dedication and great teamwork in putting yourselves out through your creative expressions felt and heard.

“The Light Seen”, “A Sign In Belief”, “Whisper”, “Beneath The Questions” (very cool intro…I really like it...and it’s the best one on the album!) And “Revelation To The Answer” are songs that are able to open the listener up and really think of how the music interacts with the lyrics and vocals, and how you’re going to be affected by it. Music in all its incarnations is brought to life by how the artists’ envision their stories from the music made. Subject to Thoughts and their album “From Sunrise To Sunset” have those stories to tell.
