This artist has been writing critically acclaimed songs for several pop/rock bands over the last decade. (adrian belew and the bears, psychodots, the graveblankets) HOSTAGE is his first solo release. Melody-driven hooks, jangling guitars and meditation
Bio / Background
"HOSTAGE is another captivating effort by one of the treasures of the Tristate music scene. The 10 songs are Mr. Arduser's usual masterful mix of pop melodies,dark lyrics and intriguing folk-rock instrumental textures."
Larry Nager - cincinnati enquirer
"A current member of three critically applauded and active combos(The Bears,Graveblankets and psychodots),a talented multi-instumentalist,busy session and touring musician and productive songwriter,Chris Arduser would seem to have very little time on his hands to do much else. But apparently he did find time to fall in love and record his solo debut full length,HOSTAGE, a strong ten song collection of polished pop and clever songwriting celebrating his newfound romantic captivity.
A powerhouse drummer and accomplished mandolinist,Arduser ably handles all the instrumentation on the disc,including acoustic and electric guitars,bass,piano and organ touches and colorful background vocals.

This is a very good album -- probably the best thing he's done.
