New York, NY--May 2, 2005--The ever-experimental rock stalwarts
Transcendence have turned the tables again and released a
stunning new album entitled Nothing Is Cohesive. Coming off of
last year"s harder-edged modern rock manifesto Sleep With You,
which yielded the hit singles Superhero Girl and Minnie Driver,
Nothing Is Cohesive is the band's third release and may be their
best to date. Lead singer Ed Hale and company continue to draw
influences from the classic rock and pop sounds of the 60s
through 90s while employing modern day studio techniques and
production to give their music a sparkle and alternative flair
most indie bands strive for, but rarely attain.

Nothing Is Cohesive features the austere and poignant lyrics the
band has built their reputation on"literate, thought provoking
and oozing passion- no matter the subject, they drive the
feeling home on every track. The colorful artwork on the CD
cover pictures swirling red images, giving the introspective
listener something to think about before spinning the CD. Once
you hear tracks like "Somebody Kill the DJ" and "Bored," you
begin to realize how the title and image on the cover portray
the concept of the album. In a world gone mad there is madness,
but there is hope.

The band is excited about the positive press the CD has received
upon its pre-release, especially coming off the controversially
received Sleep With You CD. Critics have been quick to draw
comparisons to notable acts like U2, Radiohead, or the Beatles,
but the band, currently holed up at Miami"s Hit Factory Studio,
seems intent on focusing its collective energies on recording
their follow up due out later this year. Recorded in a garage
studio this time out, but sounding very little like a garage
band, the music on Nothing Is Cohesive sounds surprisingly
clean, smooth, and analogue, the general feel and sound seems to
celebrate the band"s love of and joy for making music more than
anything else.

In unpredictable surroundings, we can find relief and truth in
the music of bands like Transcendence. Sometimes the truth
hurts-but when you hear it come from Hale's passionate vocals,
backed by the infinitely creative guitar work of Fernando
Perdomo, the thematic piano and keyboard textures by impresario
Jon Rose, and the inventive rhythm section made up of Bill
Sommer and Roger Houdaille-it feels so good. Transcendence is a
band of unsung heroes in a world of fabrication and pop culture
that you need to hear today.

"The mind boggling mix summed up by the title cut of their new
opus, Nothing is cohesive, is a stunning collision of anthems
that cull from Pink Floyd and Supertramp to U2, Coldplay, and
Radiohead." --Lee Zimmerman, New Times Magazine

Indeed, Nothing Is Cohesive, but that is what makes it special.
It's like an episode of Lost, where you think you finally know
something, and then they find another way to turn your
expectations inside out. It's musical anarchy, beautiful chaos.
It's art. It's Transcendence. Do not miss it. RATING: A --Jason
