Ophelia Syndrome

Tour Funding:

Hello everyone,

So as many of our Sellaband believers know, we are heading to Europe this summer, and we sent an e-mail proposing a new plan to help with some of the touring costs. After careful consideration, we have decided not to launch another campaign at this time (as you have all given us so much already). What we have decided to do instead, is to kick in our own money, to raise funds on our own, and to also offer some incentives to those of you who wanted to help us out. This way, you get to pick what you like, and how much you can afford to donate. We received only positive feedback from so many of you, and for that we are so very grateful.

Hamilton Music Notes By Ric Taylor

“…Compelled to get the music out there, Wells and company went to the fans to fund recordings and now find they have to schedule some dates this summer in Europe to accommodate fan demand. Not bad for a band still relatively based in the Greater Hamilton Area.“I cannot express how absolutely wonderful this is,” beams Wells on the bands new international fans. “We owe these people so much. Everything we do now, we do with them in mind. We push ourselves to be the absolute best that we can be for them.“I think anyone who is playing gigs and recording albums has a goal of reaching people who enjoy listening to the music,” adds Wells. “So very basically put, we just want our music to reach ears. Everything that we do has that basic goal in mind. If we put out the best product that we can muster, or play the best show that we can play, it’s all for the people who enjoy listening to us. It’s our thank-you to them for allowing us to do this…”

The Sound of Confusion:

Hailing from Toronto and the surrounding areas are folk-pop band Ophelia Syndrome who’ve recently released new album ‘All Things Forgotten’. Taken from it is sweet free tune ‘Passing Time’ which combines a delicate, soulful vocal with strings, twinkling keys and understated production. It’s a welcome change from all the hideously overproduced pop that’s clogging up mainstream radio space.

Thank-you so much to Sound of Confusion!!

Free song Tuesday!

Thank-you to Tom from 100 Mile Microphone:

“Ophelia Syndrome has a fresh, distinctive sound. I can’t say why, but when I first heard the name, I was expecting prog rock–Dream Theatre or something like that. I wasn’t expecting All Things Forgotten, a gorgeous album of cello- and piano-based alt- folk/rock songs featuring Deanna Wells’ clarion lead vocals, beautiful ensemble harmonies and a healthy and eclectic melting pot of stylistic influences including Brazilian jazz, Gregorian chant, and many more, all sparkling around the edges of the songs like diamonds around a wedding band.“

Quite a lovely review of our album:

“All Things Forgotten is the new album from Hamilton, Ontario’s Ophelia Syndrome. The album mixes influences from freak folk, pop, indie, jazz and country into a beautiful basket of flowering tracks. The arrangements are lush, the vocals are stunning and the production is flawless. This is a band with depth, chops and much to say musically. Stream and buy All Things Forgotten at the link below.”
