PRESS: "WHERE YOU BORN AT?" & "arise"

---

"From endorsing 8 brands to having a cat with an identity crisis (his cat thinks it’s a dog), it quickly becomes evident why we love Selby: he is a talented, personable, hardworking artist who we cannot wait to see prosper on his new musical venture. Be on the lookout for Selby’s new album and continue to stream his new single Arise."

"Leaning into the basic structure and flow of Alt-Rock, Eric pulls from some major artists’ musicality in this single. His voice flows very much like Kurt Cobain from Nirvana. The tinge of psychedelic adds to the hard rock feel although not as fast-paced or hard rock." 

"Selby has arrived and he has delivered. The long awaited release of Eric Selby’s first album, Where You Born At?, on June 11th, has gifted listeners a new and unique perspective into this exciting artist’s style as a singer/songwriter. The debut album not only showcases his talent, but takes us on a journey with crafty, relatable music to vibe to. Selby is without a doubt, a new artist who will continue to excite and wow us as his music career evolves."

 "Eric Selby understands that it is less about creating new genres, that rarely leads to anything long-lasting, but rather about using existing genres to create intoxicating blends of music. And if you want to hear what the sound of the classic styles reworked and rewoven into new, fresh and totally of the moment songs sounds like, you only need to give this album a spin."

"Cool tunes with a rocking note, varied and creative with awesome guitar riffs, mind blowing vocals and simply outstanding, that’s “Where You Born At” and Eric Selby. 

But every single song is an absolute delight for the ears and you really have to listen to the full album!"

"He puts his signature on old school rock while ensuring the new age gets just as much recognition. He is successfully creating his own sound in a world where that’s hard to do. He is brilliant and “Arise” showcases his genius and talent. We’re glad he’s now the frontman and not behind the drum kit behind the scenes."

"Eric Selby knows rock inside and out. It’s clear when you listen to Where You Born At? that he’s passionate about music and understands what he’s doing. He is his truest self when he’s playing music. We are glad he went solo and came out from behind the drums to give us his unique and entrancing sound."

"Es una propuesta muy digerible y hecha para sentir con absoluta calma en cualquier mood. Nos encanta porque es pura gloria sonora para sentirse libre."

"An audio time machine, “Where You Born At” places you in both the now and a vibrant 70s classic rock festival at once. Fans of rock will love to explore the different ages on the audio adventure Eric Selby takes you on in his newest album release. To every classic rock and psychedelic rock fan – 'Where You Born At?' is a MUST listen."

"Selby has arrived and he has delivered. The long awaited release of Eric Selby’s first album, Where You Born At?, on June 11th, has gifted listeners a new and unique perspective into this exciting artist’s style as a singer/songwriter. The debut album not only showcases his talent, but takes us on a journey with crafty, relatable music to vibe to. Selby is without a doubt, a new artist who will continue to excite and wow us as his music career evolves."

"He has refused to give up and balances his musical life with his personal life in a way that allows him to feel like he succeeded in both. This album is surely worth the wait considering how heartfelt and upbeat this single was."

"In 2021, Eric has released the full-length record, 'Where You Born At?' as well as the singles, 'Orbit,' 'Arise' and 'The Lean Years.' His new record is currently #34 on Roots Music Report’s Contemporary Folk Chart."

"I said in my review of the Anxious Zen single that it was a wonderful teaser for any album that may follow. The album has lived up to those expectations." 

"Eric Selby has been making waves with his new single 'Arise.' The single is taken from his new album 'WHERE YOU BORN AT?' which is out now."

"I’ve been to many concerts in my day and I had never been made speechless. I. Could. Not. Talk."

"Eric Selby never fails to amaze with his songwriting. This performance is not an exception, as “Orbit” is just another hit from the artist. With so many incredible singles coming from Selby this year alone, there is no telling what's coming next, but we can be sure it will definitely be something to look forward to."

"On the surface, 'Orbit' sings lightheartedly of trying to rekindle an old flame — but behind the easygoing melody lies a wealth of fascinating instrumentation and varied genres.  “Orbit” will absolutely make any listeners head spin, leaving them dizzy with the genius that is Eric Selby’s work."

"If people that are alive can be reincarnated then Eric Selby may as well be Jack Johnson. Between his country style guitar riffs and his soothing voice his music puts listeners in a state of pure calm. Selby makes you want to wake up, grab a cup of coffee, throw his music on shuffle, and spend an hour on the porch while deeming it 'self-care.'" 

"The way that Eric Selby is able to combine genres is honestly astounding to me...'Orbit' makes me want to drive with my windows down during a sunset, even though it’s January.  I can’t wait to see what else Eric Selby is going to bless us with in 2021."

"Expectedly, his powerful vocal delivery and dynamic songwriting have sown enough seeds to turn this number into a gripping earworm. 'Orbit' is another demonstration of Selby’s ability to bring extra sparkle to everything he touches."

"“Another Page” is a cool, chill, rock and roll tune that seemingly blends Tom Petty’s “Last Dance with Mary Jane” with the vocals of The Wallflowers."

"We are excited that he’s pursuing his creative flow now because we might have found a new favorite artist. If you like “Another page” as much as we do, don’t stop there and listen to the exquisite full-length album “Do, Baby.,” released earlier this year. This is timeless, gorgeous timeless music!"

"We aren’t sure if it’s the sonic echo, or the vocals that we are initially welcomed with, but whatever it is- we are obsessed. “Another Page” released at the end of November, has been stuck in our heads since it’s debut."

"The way Another Page flows perfectly from section to section is truly astonishing. Despite the difference between the intro, verses, chorus and solo, it’s never jarring. Everything feels perfectly placed and surrounded by the ambiance of droning guitars and bells."

"A multi-genre artist, the longtime session musician stepped out front this year to release his own music, first with a full album Do Baby, then a single “Anxious Zen”, and now newest single “Another Page” out November 20."

"His newest track “Another Page”, is releasing November 20th, following the success of his single “Anxious Zen”, and it’s a song you don’t want to miss."
