Right then not really sure how to introduce these guys, their name is Icons of Andria and they create this beautiful 'Sci-Fi Ambient Dream Pop' which to be fair couldn't be described any other way.
So if your looking for some new music that's like nothing you've heard before then you have stumbled along the perfect blog, enjoy.
We imagine our music as ancient forgotten pop songs from an old abandoned world. We want people to be able to see and feel the space in the music but to also be soothed by the voice. It is our hope that Icons Of Andria leaves enough room for people to be inspired to create and form their own interpretations.
Who plays what in the project? Who put you guys together or did it just happen?
Rodney Sellars - songwriter/guitar/vocals
Ken Negrete - piano/production/mixing/recording/treatments and mysterious sounds whose origin no one really knows
Fabiola Sanchez - vocals
It just happened.
How long have you been going? How do you know each other?
We have always been and will always be. We've worked & inspired each other directly and indirectly for many years. We came together and began work on this project 'Icons Of Andria' in March.
Your Artwork seems very important to you and looks great, who draws it?
Thanks! Rodney draws the artwork and yes, it's very important. We think music and art are just two different manifestations of the same energy. Fabi's voice is like the figure in the drawing.
What comes first the art or the tracks? Does some of the art influence you?
The songs usually come first, music has always inspired visuals for us. Icons of Andria is a Sci-fi concept album, each song coincides with an image. Fabi & Ken definitely draw inspiration from the artwork when embellishing on the songs, they place each line drawing on the recording console while the corresponding song is being worked on, for inspiration.
Are there any new tracks on their way out, as you seem to be releasing tracks quite fast at the moment?
Yes! Lots of new tracks. We've done three & are working on the fourth, the whole concept should be about eight to ten. The next song we are releasing is called: Operator's Dream. We have and will continue to publish one song at a time upon completion to SoundCloud (Icons of Andria Soundcloud) and will make each song downloadable for free. Images, lyrics and backstories can be found at Icons of Andria Facebook .
And finally where does the name come from?
In the story, Andria is a revered immortal (an android) mythologized to an almost goddess like status. She is believed to have saved one of the last humans on the planet. To show their admiration, subsequent generations often create icons of Andria to adorn their world.
