"Recalling the elegant, noir-ish romance of Dog Man Star-era Suede, Wolventrix specialise in rousing acoustic indie with a hint of the gothic" - NME.COM (UK)
Wolventrix from London/UK sing of lust, longing, life in a bubble and underwater parties. Swerving from passages of hushed, harmony-laden beauty to passion-filled crescendos, their imaginative sound encompasses both Syd Barrett-style acoustic whimsy and deft flashes of electronica.
The band met and started writing whilst studying in Oxford. Following various stints in Vienna, Khartoum, Milan and Montpellier, Tom Walkden (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Alex Billig (backing vocals and piano), Chris Potter (lead guitar), Tristan Gilchrist (drums) and Tony Creaton (bass guitar) had all moved to London by 2006.
Not wishing to lose the international flavour, Wolventrix signed to Fabrique Records in 2007 and have recorded their debut EP with producer Arnold Kasar (Atomhockey, Nylon) in Berlin. Evoking moods ranging from playful irreverence to soulful reflection, The Berlin EP is now digitally available on iTunes and all other platforms.
Please also watch out for a special digital "Wings" single including Remixes by Spoonface, Kava and Konsorten TM which will be digitally available on November 27th 2009.
