"It's a record about moving forward," says Peter Silberman. "Hospice was kind of all-encompassing for a while and Burst Apart feels like us moving on from it. Not to abandon it, but to keep it in its place and figure out what's next." Recording began in September 2010 and then continued over a five-month span at the Brooklyn-based band's studio in Bushwick. Rather than bring in an outside collaborator, singer/guitarist Peter Silberman, drummer Michael Lerner, and keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci decided to pool their considerable skills and produce the record entirely on their own. Where Hospice was marked by its fixed narrative structure, Burst Apart is decidedly more elliptical and less lyrically baroque, in part to allow Silberman's plaintive vocals to coalesce as but another element of the overall aural picture. He describes the album as simply "a collection of songs," noting that "even though they all belong together and they're all related, there wasn't a kind of unifying concept." None of which is to say Burst Apart is without cohesive thematic content."I think people will be sucked in," Cicci says. "We want to draw people into the world of the record." "Our goal was a kind of hand-holding," says Silberman. "To bring people with us as we navigate different waters of sound. To invite people into this world that we were working on as a group of three people enjoying what we were discovering about music and about songwriting and about making a record."

Deva Premal and Miten met in India in 1990 and soon began a journey into love and creativity that has taken their inspiring blend of song, mantra and meditation to a worldwide audience. They have released a string of acclaimed CDs with international sales of nearly one million, and their concerts and ecstatic chant workshops are met with rave reviews throughout Europe, Australia, South America, Canada and the United States. Their music transcends all the usual musical boundaries, with fans including rock icon Cher, who featured one of Deva's most popular chants, the Gayatri Mantra, on her Farewell Concert Tour; world renowned author and motivational coach Tony Robbins, and even His Holiness The Dalai Lama who, after hearing Deva & Miten sing for a private audience, exclaimed, "Beautiful music, beautiful...!" Best selling author Eckhart Tolle notes: "As you listen to the music of Deva and Miten, the sacred space that lies beyond the mind emerges naturally and effortlessly. Pure magic."
