As 2009 came to a close, Aledo's Daniel Hunter was undergoing a major change. He was just 20 years old at the time and still performing under the name PlayRadioPlay!, but he'd already gone through the major label ringer. Island Records has released his debut EP in 2007, and then his first full-length release, Texas, in 2008. But even after splitting with his label in late 2008, Hunter still didn't seem satisfied with the direction his music was taking him.
So, in a pretty bold move, Hunter ended 2009 by forcibly changing that direction. He changed his performance moniker to Analog Rebellion, and, come 2010, started releasing music on his own -- lots and lots of music.
Over the course of these past 12 months, he's released 65 songs through all the various full-length, EP and B-side compilation albums he's put out this year.
So, yeah, one of them was bound to be pretty good.
