BURBANK, Calif. - Feb. 25, 2016 - PRLog -- Today, Van Damsel gives you the album artwork and release date for their highly anticipated self-titled, debut album. Van Damsel will be available Friday, April 22, 2016 via MIH Entertainment Group, with album pre-orders available next Friday, March 4, 2016, that will include instant downloads for "Best of Everything" and "Sophia."

Also, Van Damsel's "Best of Everything" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbE1sl-gRq0) music video will be making its television debut on MTV Hits' Fresh Faces on February 24th and 25th.



Comprised of bassist Matthew “Renny” Rennehan, drummer Matthew Barron, guitarist Rich Bregoliss, and singer Sebastien Ste Marie, Van Damsel has a pair of EPs to their name, including 2013’s acclaimed The Sunshine, Girl, their statement-making, self-titled debut formally cements their signature sound. Throughout the 11 cuts on their debut full length, Van Damsel seamlessly weaves organic indie rock with glossy synth pop, blurring lines between styles and eras and bridging now with then, digital with analog, sparkle with substance.

“This LP represents our broader palette, incorporating more influences than we have in the past,” Barron says about the album, which finds everything from EDM to new wave to hip-hop being injected into Van Damsel’s already-infectious template of hook-laced and danceable indie rock.

It’s a sound that tastefully borrows from genre benders like Phoenix, LCD Soundsystem, and even contemporaries like The 1975, resulting in a fresh mix with massive mainstream appeal. From the undeniably dancy first single, “Best of Everything” and ‘80s-inspired groove-based bliss of “Sophia” to the swirling, ethereal charm of “Circular Symphony” and even the sexy sax lead on “People in the City,” the record is as diverse as it is decadent.

Van Damsel has also amassed a heap of accolades on the back of their powerful and propulsive live show, which they’ve taken across Canada twice and also played a big part in their $50,000 finish in the 2015 edition of BC’s prestigious PEAK Performance Project. They’ve earned slots supporting the likes of Tokyo Police Club, Mother Mother, and Yukon Blonde, and whether it’s a festival main stage or packed club, Van Damsel brings their unique energy and empowering message to the masses.

Van Damsel's quest for greatness and perfection will always be ongoing, but their first LP marks an impressive peak on that journey and just as significantly is sure to inspire those amid their own individual pursuits.
