just because we’re totally into polyester shit like bread and neil sedaka; acid-drooling shout-from-the-mountain aural candy like the teardrop explodes, lilys and hawkwind; and mythic hard-riffing slabs of meat like sabbath and zeppelin, doesn’t mean we sound like any of that. though maybe we do…if you put it all in a blender and jam your middle finger in an upwards motion on the purée button.

no matter. try again. fail again. fail better.

Andres Cervantes was born and raised in San Diego and now lives and records in Portland, OR. Influenced by songwriters like Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, Andres' lyrics are distinctly his own, with beautiful, haunting images of landscapes both internal and external; stories of traveling, searching, rambling, and experiencing the impermanence of life and love. Suffused with a dreamlike, mysterious atmosphere, his complex songs are grounded in an honesty and simplicity that make them timeless and deeply relevant. Andrew's incredible vocal range, from warm, deep bass to heartbreaking, chilling tenor makes the experience of listening to him perform into a journey to another place; you are transported, and part of you won't ever return after the song has ended.
