about

Stella Ruze's debut effort, So Here - Lp, is a versatile 8-song album that finds the band shape-shifting from intimate pop ballads to hard-hitting funk and bluegrass. Lead singer and songwriter Brendan Johnson delivers a collection of original songs born of campfire family singalongs and impromptu house party concerts, riffing on themes of love, loss and living for the moment. When blended with Katie Burke's angelic harmonies, they create a vocal timbre reminiscent of the great male/female dual leads of the rock and folk continuum.

But pristine vocal harmonies only tell half of the story-this is a band that can play. Burke and Johnson lay rock solid rhythms on mandolin and guitar, complemented by lightning hot interplay and improvisation from keyboardist Mason Wallack and trumpet player Alex Styer. Foot-stomping percussion from Johnson and Styer combine with heady keyboard bass from Wallack to create pulsing beats typically reserved for bands with full rhythm sections.

Stella Ruze treks across musical genres throughout "So Here - Lp", from lush folk soundscapes in "Windows", "Chivalry" and "Hold Me Tight" to brass-infused bluegrass in "Get in Touch" and the title track "So Here". Genre-bending tracks "Somebody Told Me", "Remember June" and "Suede Shoes" place Stella Ruze squarely in a category all their own. Put simply, this is American music...
