Woelv

Woelv is the project of Geneviève Castrée, a Québécois musician, artist, and poet who first sang in punk bands when she was a teenager. Castrée focused on her drawing and writing for several years, working on poems, illustrations, and mini-comics, and only returned to music seriously when she wanted music to accompany one of her books, and decided to make it herself. As Woelv, Castrée layers her en français vocals and simple but evocative guitars into dreamy pop and soundscapes. Woelv's debut album, Pamplemoussi, was released in 2004 on P.W. Elverum and Sun, the label run by the Microphones and Mount Eerie's Phil Elverum. The Gris EP followed in 2006, and Castrée's second full-length, Tout Seui Dans la Forêt en Plein Jour, Avez-Vous Peur?, was released by K Records late in 2007. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
