Every Video Without Your Face, Every Sound Without Your Name is an album I wanted to make since college. I began most of these songs when I was 19 in my dorm room, but I struggled to finish them. I didn’t feel skilled enough as a songwriter and a producer. Finishing this music now, almost 6-7 years later, has been interesting. It is nice to know that there are ideas here that I can still stand by. But the differences in my emotional state, then and now, made this process more difficult than I expected.

Jeff Russo began his career with Los Angeles-based adult alternative rockers Tonic. Russo moved to L.A. in 1990 and formed Tonic with his friend Emerson Hart. They had a hit right out of the box with 1996's Lemon Parade, which spawned the irrepressible singles "If You Could Only See" and "Open Up Your Eyes." Parade went platinum and set up the release of 1999's Sugar. Tonic's third album, 2002's Head on Straight, received two Grammy nominations. The band was a great showcase for Russo's guitar work and songwriting, but by 2004 he was branching out. With work continuing on his solo album – which he was writing and playing in its entirety – the multifaceted Russo wrote a ballet, wrote music for commercials, and got involved in producing. ~ Johnny Loftus

"Questo libro è la storia della piccola Lucy, la bambina che ho adottato… Mi era stata affidata quando non aveva un posto dove stare, ma alla fine è rimasta con me… con noi." Figlia di una ragazza madre, dal vissuto difficile e doloroso, Lucy, fin dalla nascita, non riceve l'affetto, le cure e le attenzioni di cui un bambino ha bisogno. Nonostante le segnalazioni ai servizi sociali da parte degli insegnanti e degli adulti che vengono a contatto con lei, Lucy viene data in affidamento soltanto all'età di otto anni. Ma i problemi per lei non terminano…

We are only Sound' is the long-awaited debut album from singer, composer, viola, fiddle and tenor guitar-player Lucy Farrell. Lucy has been a prominent figure on the UK folk scene for many years with her skills much in demand by a plethora of esteemed folk artists, which has meant her solo career has taken a back seat. Until now.
