Bio / Background
Cryns Number 3 is the brainchild of Toby Cryns. The album, "...if Howard Roarke could dance", is a showcase of the struggle between form and function, between brilliance and what everyone else thinks should be brilliant.
Ayn Rand's, "The Fountainhead", provides the basis and setting for the album, which was recorded in Minneapolis and L.A. by the Cryns Brothers, who live some 2,000 miles apart. Most of the drums and bass were recorded in L.A. by Brother Noah, while the guitars, vocals, and pianos were done in Minneapolis by Brother Toby.
It took over 6 months of intense work in the studio to arrive at this final package of burning hearts and lost souls. Toby worked under the premise that the songs would "only be as long as they need to be to get the message out." So, you will notice that the songs on "...if Howard Roarke could dance" do not follow standard pop music protocol. The songs are crass, intense, and rarely feature repeating choruses.
