New Wave For the 21st Century:
Phoenix, Arizona based Ryan Breen (aka Back Ted N-Ted) programs computers to wear their hearts on their sleeves.
He instructs them to be human, to dance and to be heartbroken.
The songs are digital lockets filled with raw lyrical emotion; precisely engineered and architecturally sound.
To go to a Back Ted N-Ted show is to journey downtown. The indie rock sensibilities shine through and the fine edits mingle with human dexterity. Guitars shimmer, and Breen is the catalyst. Rock clubs become discotheques and even the stiffest of cross-armed hipsters find their joints twitching along with the rhythms their ears are confronted with.
Back Ted N-Ted not only invokes movement, it is one. Half musical act, half producer Ryan Breen has colluded with many including Imogen Heap, Chronic Future, Lymbyc Systym, Coppe, Miniature Tigers, and is the "staff producer" of new Epic/Sony Music imprint Modern Art Records.
At last, his own work has been condensed into a solid, cohesive statement "A Jet Made of Limos". The entire album is written, recorded, produced, and mixed by Breen.
It is a pop animal that found it's way in from the street.
Set to be released next year on Modern Art.....Back Ted N-Ted looks to bring the sound of Phoenix after dark into your life.
