With over 40 years playing guitar and songwriting as a professional musician, career firsts are minimal for someone as prolific as George Lynch. On Aug. 20, 2021, Lynch will release “Seamless,” his first-ever full-length instrumental album. The album will be released by Rat Pak Records and feature nine new tracks and three bonus tracks from Lynch, backed by drummer Jimmy D’Anda and bassist Eric Loiselle.
Lynch also produced the album, which is available for pre-order in various configurations here.
“‘Seamless’ is my attempt at creating a guitar driven instrumental record that delivers something outside the realm of what most people would expect from a guitar instrumental record coming from a semi-redeemed ’80s hair shredder,” Lynch said. “I wanted the record to be challenging but not exhausting, personal without being belligerently self-indulgent and include a fair amount of guitar histrionics and pay tribute to the masters without making it sound like I’m competing to be the end all summation of all guitar legacies that preceded me. I also wanted the underlying music to be more than vehicles for solos; I wanted the compositions to be able to stand on their own.
“Seamless” track listing:
1. Quiver
2. Cola
3. TJ69
4. Death by a Thousand Licks
5. iThink
6. Sharks with Laser Beams
