a free copy of "Revelation of Love" right now!
2005, TVT
Danish beat quartet The Blue Van will release their debut album, The Art of Rolling, on April 5. The Art of Rolling could be a compilation of newly-discovered, bombastic 60's rock 45's were it not cut with the whimsy and pop sensibilities that range from early Elvis Costello up to Hot Hot Heat. Tracks like 'I Remember the Days' and the first single, 'Revelation of Love,' make you want to do your best hullabaloo go-go moves with their basting beats and pumping Hammond organ. Others like 'Baby, I've Got Time' and the epic album-closer 'New Slough' make you ask yourself how a Danish farmboy like singer Steffen Westmark has so much soul.

Pucci DHow do I describe the sound of The Blue Van? Fabulous. It’s the only word. I first saw them play in a basement in Brooklyn a few years ago and I was totally blown away by their amazing energy and raucous melodies. I have seen them since and they get better all the time, and this album, their debut, is an eclectic mix of blues and rock, with a touch of glam and mellow deep southern soul. Ignore it, and them, at your peril.
