The Send

by Marisa Brown
After spending three years as the guitarist in the Christian rock band Falling Up, Oregon native Joseph Kisselburgh decided to strike out on his own. Taking bits and pieces of songs he had written while touring with his old group, Kisselburgh set out writing the pieces for his first solo album Cosmos, seizing upon the talents of producer Aaron Sprinkle to give him the sound he was envisioning. Though he compiled a five-piece band for his tour, Kisselburgh played most of the instruments on the record, which was released by Tooth & Nail records in the summer of 2007 under the Send's moniker.
