Shwa Losben CD Release Party

01/10/2008
. (PR) January 7, 2008 Alternative singer/songwriter Shwa Losben will independently release his first full-length solo album Chop Chop on Tuesday, February 12, 2008. The CD is his most ambitious project to date and distinguishes him as one of the country�s premier up-and-coming indie rock artists. A CD Release Party has been set for Feb 2nd Rockwood Music Hall in NYC.

Recorded in January 2007 in Austin, Texas, Chop Chop, is a collection of 11 songs that Losben wrote in 2006 while living in DC, London, Philadelphia, and New York. Drawing comparisons to early Elliott Smith, Chop Chop features rich vocal melodies over diverse instruments including guitars, bass, keys, electronic beats, mandolin, cello, and distorted mouth trumpet. �We were just having a great time recording and wanted an album that reflected that,� Losben said.

With tracks like �Myriah,� a nostalgic song about a love that never was and �Chop Chop,� a tirade against the modern work ethic, Losben proves his creativity as a songwriter who writes without stylistic conventions. �Lyrically it�s a big step,� Losben said. �Every song tells a story from a unique perspective.�

Shwa�s CD Release Party in NYC (also performing: Wakey Wakey and Rich Girls) Saturday, February 2, 2008 @ 8 pm at the Rockwood Music Hall 96 Allen St. New York, NY 10002 (between E. Houston and Stanton) 212-477-4155 www.rockwoodmusichall.com FREE ($5 suggested donation)
