(PR) Playradioplay! Releasing full-length "TEXAS" due out March 18, 2008. Now, after a year of touring (with Gym Class Heroes, Fall Out Boy and Young Love, among others), Daniel Hunter is ready to unleash his first full-length opus, TEXAS. PlayRadioPlay! will also be on tour this spring with Yellowcard promoting TEXASWhy Texas? Hunter, a die-hard Cowboys fan explains, "I named it for the love of the state. I assumed somebody had named their album 'Texas' before, but no one had. I had to do it before someone else did!"
The songs showcase a slightly heavier guitar sound, but maintain Hunter's quirky outlook and pop aesthetic. "I actually write my guitar stuff first," says the musician. "Then I compliment it with some beats or keyboards." But whatever the case, there's definitely diversity at work. The ballad "Pirate and Princess" features almost orchestral flourishes, while "Tooth Decay" is more acoustic-based. The album also marks the first time Hunter has worked with a producer (Garrett Lee) and live drums.
