Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	THR 175CD

"If Angela Desveaux could have three pictures in her wallet, she says they would be of Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, and her grandmother. These are the figures she holds dear and suggest the influences that have shaped her musical identity. Wandering Eyes is a sparkling country debut that highlights both Desveaux's brilliant voice and her poignant song writing, inspired by those heroes with an alt.country twist. Band includes Mike Feuerstack (Wooden Stars, Kepler), Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire), Harris Newman (Strange Attractors), Mike Moya (GYBE), and Gen Heistek (Hangedup)."

Title:	The Mighty Ship
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	THR 203CD

"While on Wandering Eyes, Desveaux claimed the influence of great women of country music like Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams, she now points to Chrissy Hynde, Wayne Coyne and Neil Young as sources of inspiration. These bolder rock influences are apparent on The Mighty Ship in her lead vocal choices and her guitar playing, as well as her arrangements. These influences compliment Angela Desveaux's strong sense of melody, her incredible voice and her abilities as a storyteller. The Mighty Ship is the follow-up release to 2006's Wandering Eyes and features Angela's road-tested band The Mighty Ship. Over the past two years, Angela has toured with Bruce Cockburn, Archer Prewitt, Howe Gelb, and Califone."
