Биография

It’s part of human nature – consistently striving to reach new plateaus and pinnacles in virtually any personal pursuit. And in addition to being a central lyrical theme in the debut LP from Kamloops, BC-based electro-pop outfit Van Damsel, it’s also critical to their creative union and, by extension, their eclectic sonic concoction. While the quartet – comprised of bassist Matthew “Renny” Rennehan, drummer Matthew Barron, guitarist Rich Bregoliss, and singer Sebastien Ste Marie – has a pair of EPs to their name, including 2013’s acclaimed The Sunshine, Girl, their statementmaking, self-titled debut formally cements their signature sound. Throughout the 11 cuts on the collection, which was released on April 22, 2016, Van Damsel seamlessly weaves organic indie rock with glossy synth pop, blurring lines between styles and eras and bridging now with then, digital with analog, sparkle with substance.
