Elocation by Default
Elocation is an album by Default, released in 2003. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 10 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Taking My Life Away”, on 9 lists with a best position of #17.
Elocation, Default's second album, hit the shelves on TVT on November 25, 2003, and the Vancouver four-piece know exactly which lane they're driving in. Butch Walker and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger share the production chair, and the result is thick, polished hard rock: Dallas Smith's gravel-and-honey bellow out front, Jeremy Hora's guitars stacked into walls, Dave Benedict on bass and Danny Craig on drums keeping the whole thing chugging.
"Taking My Life Away" was the brooding single that rock radio grabbed, one of three pulled from the album, and the band close things out with an acoustic take on "Let You Down" from their debut, The Fallout. Elocation couldn't match the success of that first record, but it still went Gold in Canada and stands as the band's second-best seller.
