Angela Desveaux's second full length album, 'The Mighty Ship' seems to veer more towards rock and a little bit away from her earlier alt-country sound. But the brutally honest, sharp tongued lyrics are still there is spades. The record makes for a beautiful soundtrack to a dysfunctional relationship...great stuff. Here is a tune for you to check out... Angela Desveaux - 'Shape You' MP3
myspace There is something charming about a woman singing about lost love and heartache over dusty, roots instrumentation. Of course those sounds come in many forms, but the honesty and openness that exudes from the gentle exhale of a road weary woman is as comforting as a hug from a close friend. And when it comes to Angela Desveaux , it's a hug you want to hold onto for just a moment longer, knowing the embrace can make all your pain will simply go away.

Photos by Frank Yang Know how I was complaining last week that blog fodder was lean? And I promised this week would be better? Well damn, was I prescient or what. It's been a whirlwind of newsworthy material in the last day, so much so that I don't really know where to begin. I guess today will be the show announcements - either of these first couple of these are "stop the presses"-worthy, but I'll go with the one that gave the post its title. I was told about the [...]
"Days Black Purple Nights" - Peppertree If the Montreal-based quartet Peppertree lacks to date the internet buzz of some of their French Canadian peers, it's not for lack of talent or great songs. " La Cage Appât ," featured on Fingertips in 2006, was a number-one song on the Fingertips Top 10 that year; "Days Black Purple Nights" is another idiosyncratic winner--less overtly dramatic, perhaps, than its predecessor, but with a beautiful sense of development and atmosphere.

DC9 hosted an outstanding evening of country tinged rock, featuring Thrill Jockey recording artist Angela Desveaux (above) and Washington DC locals Revival . The show was opened by the [...]
Welcome to Twangsville! Today's special: Angela Desveaux, whose name I keep misspelling because I seem to have severe French-typing disability. As the trend of fabulous Canadian country singers continues, Ms. Desveaux, who hails from Montreal, has released her first album on the Thrill Jockey label, entitled "Wandering Eyes." So here's the thing. If you like Haley Bonar, you'll like Angela Desveaux. If you liked Justin Rutledge, Amy Millan, or any of the other fabulous Canadian country singers, you'll like Angela Desveaux. Like Rutledge, Desveaux walks the line of being almost [...]
