Flaming oceans. Giant lizards tearing cities down. Cartoon superheroes. Where are you?

You are “In the Skyline,” under the spell of the much anticipated full-length album from Seattle-based singer/songwriter Andrea Wittgens. “In The Skyline,” is a 12-song ode to escapism, a vividly spun world where reality meets fantasy.

A follow-up to her 2006 EP Alibi, “In the Skyline” represents a return to a more viscerally emotional live band setting. From dreamy (“Empires of Straw”) to dramatic (“Cardboard Cutouts”), from playful (“Marching Orders”) to ironic (“Creature Feature”) the songs jump out of a dynamic foundation featuring Andrea at the helm on piano. As befits such fantastical lyrical content, evocative arrangements make use of a broad and colorful sonic palette weaving spooky Mellotrons, quirky Farfisas, and luscious string quartets into the mix.

But as is true of real artists, these adventurous arrangements are all in support of one thing; Andrea Wittgens and her instantly arresting voice. At home singing in both English and French (check out “Comme tu veux” her first original French song), she has been compared to artists as varied as Aimee Mann, Regina Spektor and PJ Harvey.

Originally from Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Andrea currently lives in Seattle. In fall of 2008 she kicks off the first dates of her tour to promote “In The Skyline” starting in Nova Scotia and then moving on to New York City and Seattle.

"Incredible! Her voice just soars! You''ve got to invest your time to hear this." -- Q-tip (A Tribe Called Quest and solo Artist)

“Andrea Wittgens, a vocalist capable of being both sultry and scorchy, writes with the sensibilities of a Harry Nilsson or an Emmit Rhodes.”
-- Bill Fisher, Victory Review

"Andrea exemplifies the modern day classic singer-songwriter. Contemporary with a soulful flair, her live performance is an engaging breath of fresh air."
-- Lee Dannay longtime A&R exec @ Columbia Records)
