NASHVILLE’S NEULORE ANNOUNCE TOUR WITH INGRID MICHAELSON IN JULY/AUGUST
Single “Shadow of a Man” Impacts AAA Radio
Nashville modern folk band NEULORE – led by the songwriting duo of Adam Agin and William T. Cook – continue their U.S tour through July and into August opening for Ingrid Michaelson. Earlier this year, the duo signed with Los Angeles indie Chop Shop Records (distributed by Island Records) and will release their full length debut Animal Evolve in the fall.
In May, NEULORE embarked on the Communion Music Tour and headlining dates to support the first single, “Shadow of a Man.” The songs has been featured in several TV shows such as ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and has garnered support from NPR stations on both coasts.
“[NEULORE] does a good job of pushing this “new folk” sound forward. This song could easily be a huge pop hit.” – KCRW 89.9 Music Blog
“Fans of Mumford & Sons, Imagine Dragons and American Authors will delight in both the “folksiness” and the hyper melodicism of this new song by NEULORE.” –WXPN 88.5 “My Morning Download”
A live acoustic video of “Shadow of a Man” debuted in May on New York-based blog Pancakes & Whiskey.
Adam Agin and William T. Cook met in 2008 and soon after began their musical collaboration with the release of the EP Apples & Eve (2010). Rather than writing individual songs, NEULORE explores central themes throughout their projects.
“After the first spin, I was compelled to return to NEULORE’s songs again and again,” says Chop Shop founder Alexandra Patsavas. “The music is so artful and immediate and tells story after wonderful story for the listener. We are thrilled to be releasing NEULORE on Chop Shop/Island.”
And with NEULORE, theme often directly inspires music. “Cinema has always affected the way we think,” Adam explains. “The music has to match the visual we’re creating. We’re huge fans of movies, so it’s natural for us to dream up some sort of visual scene… and then figure out how that scene would sound.”
The visual element carries to the stage, the backstories helped inspire the band’s symbolic clothing and stage setup, too, transforming NEULORE’s concerts from routine gigs into actual experiences.
