Details:
charlottesville tend to focus on down-tempo, melodic music. often melancholy, always lush and inviting, their songs strive to capture the emotions of the listener with both acoustic and digital sounds, blended with intelligent lyrics to create a warm and entrancing whole. every song should tell a story, and charlottesville have many to tell.

charlottesville were formed in 1999 by miles fender and iris lapalme, and are most often compared to a hybrid of the red house painters, radiohead and low. the band was born mainly out of miles' necessity for a change in musical style following his relocation from england to san francisco; formerly, he had fronted the british goth rock band 'earth calling angela'. now, after the release of the critically acclaimed promo 'random acts of blindness', and the newly released full-length album 'the shark who pulled a mussel', charlottesville are proving that there is still a place for subtlety in today's brash and fast-paced world.

"Solid lyrics, inviting voice and guitar style. This album is easily recommended to anyone who enjoys discovering new slowcore bands."
