David Morris releases album

Solo musician David Morris recently released his debut rock alternative album "Picture An Accident" under the artist name "Picture An Accident."

The album, based upon hardship and hope, was written, recorded and mixed entirely by Morris in a matter of months, from January 2010 to July 2010. David sings lead and supporting vocals, and plays all instruments, including guitars, bass, drums, and keyboards. The album features seven intricately crafted, rock-based songs, each with alternative twists and turns to invoke an emotional sound-stage-of-the-mind experience.

Morris' goal for the "Picture An Accident" debut was to create an album for those who crave a deeper listening experience. Morris feels the art of strong songwriting and storytelling is key. Morris refers to examples of great song crafting by bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Police, U2, Muse, VAST, and Foo Fighters. Morris notes how each group has consistently provided a high level of emotional impact with their songs, and how each band has stood the test of time. Morris says that he used these groups as a high watermark for the songwriting and recording of "Picture An Accident."

About the name:
David noted, "I decided to use 'Picture An Accident' as both an artist name and the name of the album. A lot of people ask what 'Picture An Accident' is. I came up with the name after a near miss car crash with an oncoming car that crossed over the line and headed right for my car. I quickly changed lanes and avoided it. That was when I noticed my imagination providing clear flashes as to what my car might have looked like had the accident taken place. I thought it would be interesting to have a name that connects to a built-in primal instinct within each of us. I also thought the name was interesting because it directs a person to do something. I don't recall many band names that do that."
