Music | Andrea Balency releases debut EP

22-year-old Mexican/French digital native world citizen (now living in Paris, but previously in NY, Mexico DF, London and Buenos Aires), Andrea Balency was picked up in 2010 by James Blake (R&S, Universal), Inc. (4AD), Au Revoir Simone (Moshi Moshi) and Mount Kimbie (Warp), among others, as a supporting act.

In April 2013 she was chosen by The Cure to open the closing gig of their worldwide tour in the main Mexico DF stadium “Foro Sol” for 50,000 people.

Shows at SXSW and Sonar before settling in Paris to start working on a new EP, “Walls”, soulful indie electronica has just been released.

‘You’ve Never Been Alone’, the first single from the EP, was co-produced by Rob McAndrews aka Airhead, recently acclaimed by Pitchfork for his debut album “For Years” (R&S, 2013), and mixed by the stellar French sound engineer Stephane “Alf” Briat (Air, Phoenix, Sebastien Tellier, Francoise Hardy, etc.).

Sounds like AlunaGeorge, Little Dragon, The XX & SBTRKT and you will find it catchy for sure. Currently writing her first album, which will feature a collaboration with Mount Kimbie.
