Pairing the raw instrumentation and soaring melodies Messenger Down fans have come to love for years with electronic soundscapes and a newfound pop sensibility, Cheating Death takes on an identity all it's own. The 7 track effort is a breath of fresh air for Garrett Foster himself and music listeners alike; one which you'll want to breathe in as deeply as your lungs will allow and hold until you're blue in the face. Notes: "In order to really fall in love with music again, I had to fall out of love with everything I thought I loved about music... and if there's anything I want you to take away from this new music it's simply that. Sometimes before you can ever really find yourself you have to lose yourself first." Having formed Messenger Down on his own in 2012, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Garrett Foster is now on his own for the first time in nearly 4 years after cutting ties with a revolving door of former band mates. After scrapping over 20 songs, he entered the studio in January 2016 to begin recording Cheating Death and take his eclectic and ever-changing brand of Alternative music to new heights.Pairing the raw instrumentation and soaring melodies Messenger Down fans have come to love for years with electronic soundscapes and a newfound pop sensibility, Cheating Death takes on an identity all it's own.
