Combining electronics, synths and samples with a groovy backing band, Casual Curious recorded this ep almost a year ago. The band is now a duo, but is still staying true to the sounds present on this recording. Effected warbling vocals, catchy melodies and a beat you can bob your head to, CC is proving to be one of the best live acts in town.
The creative force behind the band is T. Lee Gunselman whose influences are a little hard to peg down. Talking Heads are certainly present, as well as some post-rock jazz like Tortoise.
The recording here features:
Alex Barbato on bass
Reed Benjamin on drums
Issac Boswell on guitars
and T. Lee Gunselman on everything else
Nowadays when they play live it's just Gunselman on keys, sampler and vocals and drummer James Crosson, together creating a good mix of electronic synth sound with exceptional modern jazz/rock drumming.

Bio
Gunselman and Crosson met at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro due to the suggestion that they play music together. Both coming from contrasting musical backgrounds, they have created a brand of pop music that challenges both the body and the mind. After developing a cult following in the Piedmont of North Carolina, Casual Curious plans to release their first full length by the summer of 2010.
