"[Revel]
will convince even the staunchest traditionalist that modern technology
and old-fashioned balladry can co-exist. Brian Eno would be proud."
(Exclaim!)
Country
girl meets city girl; folk meets urban. Andrea Revel's second LP Citysong
"marries her folk-roots side with light electronic beats and
atmospherics, for a moody and often intoxicating disc" (Calgary
Sun). Described as "Morcheeba goes to Nashville", this
collection of bedroom tapes is "introspective without being
indulgent and sophisticated without being standoffish" (Montreal Gazette), creating a sexy and sometimes melancholic late night
listen.
Often described as a
rogue-folkie for crossing over into the electronic realm, Revel’s
sound has been a natural evolution for a musician transplanted from
Calgary’s hotbed of folk to the urban soundscapes of Montreal. On this
LP Revel collaborates with sound designer and electronic producer
Michael McCann (FUBAR, It’s All Gone Pete Tong and
Splinter Cell IV).
Revel has opened for Andy Stochansky, Lindy, Jorane, Jeremy Fisher, David Francey and Rae
Spoon. Wetlabel describes her live as "...absolutely
incredible. Her writing is fresh, her voice angelic and her guitar
playing is simply out of this world.".
Citysong
was licensed to Difference Music in Portugal and made its European debut
in 2006. The album has broken top ten on
several college and radio stations in Canada and the US; CKUA
ranked it among the top 3 Albertan CDs (Fall 2004). Revel's music has
been featured in Old Navy and Target TV commercials (check out www.myspace.com/andrearevel
to view them) and is in the television series This is Wonderland, Re-genesis, Zoe Busiek;
Wild Card, 1-800-Missing, the Montreal films L'Enigme de James
Brighton and What is Indie? and the video game Splinter
Cell IV: Double Agent.
