LOGAN VENDERLIC TO RELEASE SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM ON APRIL 17TH
New York, NY: Sprung from the hills of rural West Virginia, Logan Venderlic weaves his own brand of modern, indie-infused hooks and applies it to contemporary Appalachian folk, dubbing the creation “Folk Wave.”
Logan’s self-titled debut long player follows his 2010 breakout, Manic EP, which illicited the quick and telling quip from the likes of the Wall Street Journal: “Tom Petty meets Appalachia.”
Logan interjects on the new album, though, “it’s much more full and well-rounded than the EP. There are some big, orchestral drum sounds, some Aretha Franklin-esque ‘shoops,’ and plenty of little mellotron flourishes, all wrapped up into an indie/folky mix.”
Initially rebelling in teenhood angst against his “Jerkwater Town,” he began using music as his personal shrink. Venderlic delivers magnetic songs that swing on a temperamental pendulum between the mania of childhood’s purity and the depression of adulthood concession, growing as an individual along with his music and coming to terms in appreciation of his humble upbringing.
Since exploring beyond his home state while on tour, Venderlic shared stages with a diverse array of artists from The Spring Standards, American Aquarium, and Professor Louie (of The Band), to Marcy Playground, Ume, and Hawthorne Heights.
Recommended Tracks:
10 – “Jerkwater Town” – The senior thesis behind the album, “Jerkwater Town” describes the dark view of Venderlic’s rural birthplace that leads him, and his equally dark guitar, meandering towards anywhere, only to by drawn back by their symbiosis.
4 – “A Walk With A Girl”- A look at youthful love and exploration of ‘the big city’ with upbeat, folk-poppy hooks fuelled by handclaps.
5 – “Travelin’ Tooth Operators” - A honky-tonk jam with roots back to the classic blues and folk greats with fierce vocal tremolo shellacked on top.
