Cavalier King is the music project of Brooklyn based singer/songwriter and artist, Chris Taylor. Rubric Records published Taylor's first record, The Sun Revolutions, in 2006. In early 2012 he released a new EP, Star Alarm, working largely in collaboration with producer Scott Fritz at Stranded on a Planet Productions. He is currently working with Beyond Limits Group in Brooklyn and frequently releasing new songs, remixes and videos.

THE FIRST RECORD:

The Sun Revolutions is an album of orginal songs recorded both in Chris Taylor's apartment and at Slaughterhouse Studio. With JJ O'Connell on drums, Taylor on almost everything else, it was engineered and mixed by Mark Miller and mastered by Jeff Lipton at Peerless Mastering. The Sun Revolutions was released February 7th 2006 by Rubric Records.

Although composed by Taylor in his little Brooklyn apartment, The Sun Revolutions is not a small record.  Each song is an epic tale full of grandeur and sonic elegance, filled with echoes of everyone from Buckley to Morrison, U2 to Rufus Wainright, and yet each song is also uniquely its own.

The name Cavalier King comes from a seminal track on The Sun Revolutions which tells the story of a young man having delusions of grandeur. When he crashes from the fantasy of being a devastating war hero, he returns to the reality that he is merely a school boy and not nearly the hero he wants to be.

The "Cavalier King" is a mythical hero who inadvertently annihilates the world in his vain attempt to save his true love and himself from the perilous schemes of his treacherous ministers.  In a vengeful fury, the betrayed King sets in motion events that lead inevitably to the complete destruction of his native planet. Surviving the blast alone, however, he travels the galaxy on myriad adventures around the Sun while he laments the heavy losses he incurred during the first revolution. He eventually finds himself on the former water planet, Earth, and becomes the reluctant leader of a global insurrection. Bent on redemption, Cavalier King pledges not to repeat the mistakes he made on his home planet and so pioneers a new ethos in the galaxy.

Just a girl singing in her room. Love music and enjoy singing.
