Semiotics

Jacob Beizer, Jason Cannan, Daniel Casey and Todd Means formed Semiotics in 2005 with the intent to play acoustic, folk-oriented rock songs. After only a few months the band transformed and began fusing that melodic, mellow sound with complex, interweaving guitar parts, neo-classical arpeggios, and driving bass. These sounds are brought together by Means’ thoughtful lyrics and vocal melodies and the band’s fascination with syncopated, asymmetrical rhythms.
