Yaq Cuartz Releases Eclectic New Album Duct Tape; Toe-Tapping Fun That Makes You Think

Portland, OR, December 01, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Yaq Cuartz continues to stun listeners and readers with his unconventional artistic achievements. The songs on his new album Duct Tape have simple jazz, blues, country and rock backgrounds while literary, philosophical and mathematical references render the content exciting and amusing. Sometimes absurd and always with a good beat, Duct Tape is an album that will get your toe tapping and your mind working.

With playful songs like 2 Days Till Midnight, Barbelo and Green Kibbutz, Yaq Cuartz has found a place where ideas, history and language dance to traditional chord progressions. Utilizing word play and competent finger picking, the songs are catchy and intellectual while remaining accessible to all.

Yaq has written of his album: “Inelegant? Maybe. Sloppy picking? Can’t deny it. References to dead mathematicians and esoteric doctrines? Guilty! Duct Tape is sure to find a following with the tone deaf and the intellectually corrupt. Featured songs include Apple Sauce- aka Green Kibbutz, 2 Days Till Midnight, and Barbelo. Pick it up from iTunes, CDBaby.com, or TheSongItself.Net. Thanks!”

Yaq Cuartz lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife and daughter. As a freelance translator of Coptic, Aramaic, Ionic Greek and Pig Latin, he has plenty of time to write songs and dance. His web site address is TheSongItself.Net. His album may be purchased at cdbaby.com/cd/yaqcuartz and through iTunes.com.
