Frank Lenz is making some changes. The former drummer for bands like Richard Swift, Pedro the Lion, and Starflyer 59, current drummer for The Weepies and Everest, accomplished solo artist, and film and television composer (Holy Rollers, Strictly Background, Showtime) - who once worked his way up out of homelessness by working as a professional music impersonator in Atlantic City - is stepping forward to make a statement...by saying virtually nothing. -- -- -- Lenz's new, almost-entirely instrumental album Water Tiger is a mix of quirky, spaced-out, ambient rock, strange old electronics, dappled with upbeat, super catchy pop hooks. It was created with no agenda whatsoever, and with no agenda comes freedom. -- -- -- Lenz explains; "I've spent a countless amount of time making music with the intention of pleasing others. This time I made an instrumental because 'I' wanted to. I wanted to create something beautiful, something with heart. I wanted the record to have symmetry and not to rely on dissonance, I wanted a textured repetitive format without making everything 'weird' sounding to compensate. Lyrics tell a story and direct a listener on where to go. Tones and textures provide a path for the listener to follow with freedom. We forget the power that sound alone can offer."
