SoutherlyGenre: Portland, Oregon, United States
Portland, Oregon is widely known for its wealth of dark-pop songwriters, and Southerly (first featured on the Devil's blog way back in May 2007 Southerly ) is one of its very best.
The nom-de-tune of Krist Krueger, Southerly has announced the release of a lush, layered new work titled Champion Of The Noisy Negativists on February 19th, 2010 as a follow up to 2007's Storyteller And The Gossip Columnist.
To kick off the EP release, Southerly launches a tour throughout Europe with Kevin Devine & The Goddamn Band beginning February 18th. A hometown sendoff is slated for Tuesday, February 16th at Kelly's Olympian in Portland with four bands sharing various Southerly members
Picking up where the last album left off, listeners can hear the natural progression toward what ultimately became Champion: a swooning, eerie, beautiful, morose and uplifting soundscape that serves as an undeniable reminder of the tension, release, intensity and intrinsic harmony that all of us experience and celebrate in life. Unlike the previous disc, Champion is a largely instrumental affair, using vocals as additional layers, rather than the music's guide.
Are you a champion of the noisy negativists?
