Bamboo: The Come Back with No Water No Moon

#bamboomusiclive - Good music never ends and one great artist never stops.

Just one spin of the most anticipated album in OPM rock this year, “No Water, No Moon," Bamboo Mañalac's first solo release under PolyEast Records, and it's clear there is life beyond his career as frontman. Teamed with the top musicians in the record industry, he presents his musical visions, saying in an interview,

“Nothing’s changed. It’s the same pressure that I’ve always put on myself. Whether in a band or going out on my own, or whatever I do. Just wanting to push, claw and climb.”

In a way, Mañalac has gone back to his jazz roots while heading toward to what he’s known for—mainstream pop rock genre. Featuring the first single “Questions,” Mañalac said,

“I felt this was a good intro to the album because it has a lot of colors and instrumentation that we have in the album in just one song. The song is personal but I thought it spoke of human experience.”

The first single will be released in radio stations on Sept. 22, 2011 at 10 a.m. via simultaneous airing nationwide.

Bamboo, who produced and wrote most of the songs, has been in the US for final mastering of the album. He has also been doing special performances there in order to showcase the new songs with the album meant for an international release.

Bamboo will be back in the Philippines after the tour in time for the album release. Album release date and debut video will be announced later this month.
