Tucked away like Gollum in the foothills of Southern California's Orange County, a man rifles around in the shadows of his home studio trying to orchestrate the chaos of all the voices in his head into some sort of coherent and palatable sound. A sound that encompasses the manic-depressive duality that is It Ends with Rockets. A style of Art Rock music that never stays in one place very long. A brand of Alt-Rock that maintains a comforting, almost nostalgic familiarity of days gone by while keeping itself pretty well outside the box. While It Ends with Rockets is simply one man from inception to your speakers, it feels like a cast of many - creating a listening experience that feels almost like musical roulette yet somehow manages to find enough common ground to string together a cohesive, albeit rather eccentric, story.
