DEBUT ALBUM, CONSOLATION PRIZE, COMING APRIL 25, 2025
Nashville Alt-Rock Duo Announces April 25th Release Date for Highly-Anticipated Debut Album, Consolation Prize
The ten-song collection will showcase the full breadth of the pair’s robust, multi-faceted sound – one shaped by an array of 90s grunge and early 2000s indie rock influences that has caught the attention of RIFF Magazine, antiMusic and numerous other media outlets and editorial playlist creators. The album is also a reflection of Brandsness’ and Lese’s extensive performing, recording and touring experience as seasoned veterans of Nashville’s music scene.
"...This record is a throwback to the way rock used to be - raw, powerful, fun, and full of impressive melodic twists and turns that make you want to dance, raise your fists, and breathe a sigh of relief that the rock genre is headed back to something real." said "Consolation Prize" producer and renowned guitarist and artist in her own right, Emily Wolfe.
“The title of the album itself is sort of an exaggerated play on what it’s like being in the music industry. It’s an incredible amount of work, and even if you’ve done all that you can and don’t make any mistakes, you can still come up short or second best,” notes Lese. “It can feel like a never-ending series of ‘no’s’ but for me, I’d still go through all of those ‘no’s’ just to be a part of this incredible record.”
“We’ve tried to make a rock record that touches on so many of the things we ourselves have experienced, and we hope there’s something there both for the days you are looking to rock out and for the days you need a pick-me-up,” Brandsness adds. “From the very first time Angie and I ever worked together, things just clicked, and I’m so excited for everyone to get to hear what we’ve been working on for the past year.”
"Consolation Prize" – produced by renowned guitarist Emily Wolfe – will be released on April 25, 2025 both digitally and on vinyl.
