Kramon recorded the new album in his home studio, recreating much of what he loved about the records he listened to growing up as a kid in L.A. From the urgent declaration of the opening track, “I’m Alive,” and the plea to speak your mind in “Say It Now” to the sing-song, tongue-in-cheek critique of the modern rat race in “End of the World” and the religious entreaties of “The Maker,” Kramon touches on all the things that affect every one of us in a world that is more fragile, yet interconnected, than ever.

Kramon has been working on the new album for over a year. “I go into this tunnel vision,” he says about his songwriting and recording process. “Sometimes it’s hard to see what I’m doing. When the individual songs start coming together, that’s when I switch hats to become more of a producer and editor. That’s the cognitive part.”

On the television front, Kramon boasts a highly successful and credible list of TV credits including composing the themes and scores for network shows such as UPN’s critically acclaimed Veronica Mars, ABC’s Cupid, October Road and Big Shots, MTV’s Making the Band and, most recently, the noir-ish ‘40s jazzy main title song to  Starz’ Party Down. He has also had several of his original songs licensed for use on both Veronica Mars and October Road, but he feels Say It Now, for which he wrote every track and played every instrument, deserves to be heard as a coherent whole.

Say It Now is about being honest with who you are and living your life true to yourself so that at the end each day you're left with no regrets. Touching on the spiritual, but also the joys of the material world, this is a set of songs that is both introspective and celebratory, a paean to living and surviving in these perilous times. In other words, carpe diem… Seize the day. Just what Josh Kramon has done on Say It Now.
