Neva Geoffrey to release The Days Are Rolling on Alias Records

Neva Geoffrey’s melodies have come together to form torch songs that take you to the depths of obscurity while remaining in your heart. With a record that emits her journey, you’ll remember the now distanced moods that have once possessed you. The tender in her voice is found weaving through guitar strings, sweeping piano pop, or lurching in ambience just heavy enough and no heavier.
However, one parallel remains. Her music has the power to thin the thickest of skins, and coax the toughest of brutes to release their softer side. Warm, ethereal songs like “Maiden Lane” introduce her unique writing style as she expresses the doubt lurking in all our thoughts. “Glass Eyes” helps recall your most prideful experience with love.
Neva’s debut album The Days are Rolling on Alias Records (Archers of Loaf, Yo La Tengo, The Scourge of the Sea) could easily compliment a record collection that already includes Dusty Springfield, Elliott Smith, Andrew Bird, and Cat Power. This remarkable singer/songwriter has also recently shared bills with Paleo, The Scourge of the Sea, Kelpie, and The Duhks.
Bathed in the oasis of Austin in the otherwise conventional state of Texas, she left a family of musicians, bidding them the luck of the future for her own pursuit of this release and touring to follow. Prior to this endeavor, she was just east of the Pacific, exploring California academia. Now, tucked in the horse farms of Lexington, KY she is about to embark on an aggressive tour in support of The Days are Rolling (in stores April 3rd 2007).
