Rev Rev Rev “Des Fleurs Magiques Bourdonnaient” releases 29 Jul 2016 via Neon Sigh!
Hailing from Modena, Italy, Rev Rev Rev’s sound is influenced by first-wave shoegaze, as well as psychedelic rock, re-metabolizing these elements into a loud, woozy, fuzz-driven context. Their live sets comprise kaleidoscopic video projections waving with music, and the use of self-constructed stomp boxes, producing weird sounds.
Their first self-titled album, released in 2013, received lots of positive feedback and was number 3 on the 2013 Shoegazer Alive Top 10; the digital single “Catching a buzz”, released in October 2014 with WinWin Records, has been featured on Steve Lamacq’s show on BBC 6 Radio.
Since September 2013 Rev Rev Rev have toured across continental Europe and UK.
“Rev Rev Rev” has been nominated as best self-produced album by PIMI (Premio Italiano Musica Indipendente) and in January 2015 their live set has been designated by 200 Italian art directors as one of the best live shows around.
A song from the album has been included in “Revolution – the shoegaze revival” compilation (Ear to Ear Records / Gerpfast Collective), supported by Joe Foster (co-founder of Creation Records), Graham Bonnar (Swervedriver/ Brian Jonestown Massacre) and many others. In March 2015 they took part in the TBTCI Records tribute compilation to Ride “Leave them all behind” with their cover version of “Polar bear”.
Their second LP, titled “Des fleurs magiques bourdonnaient” (a quote from the Illuminations by Arthur Rimbaud), has been released in February 2016 via Kinotone Records (Europe/UK LP only), and small runs by Custom Made Music and Northern Light Records (North America). This special repress with magnificent art layout matching the LP comes exclusively from Neon Sigh for the world!
The video for the first single “Nightwine” has been in premiere on Clash Music Magazine. During the promotional tour, the band have recently played Cosmosis Festival 2016 in Manchester.
