Press Release
"Faces of Agent Double E" / "Caras de Agente Double E"
Renee Asteria's New Release
Renée Asteria's music is a strange fusion of Folk-Rock-Reggae which
represents the rare combination of cultures and environments which she
embodies. Her father is Bolivian and mother is Dutch, she grew up in
France but was born in the US (NJ). Her family background and love of
social work have granted her great privilege to work, study and travel
in other countries. After one year of social work in Latin America,
Renee returns with a second full length album "Caras de Agente Doble
E" ("Faces of Agent Doble E") which she produced with much blood and
sweat in Buenos Aires, Argentina from October 2006 to April 2007.
Argentine producer Matias Martyn and local musicians from TIBETAN
MONKEY (myspace.com/tibetanmonkey Reggae-Dub), SINSEMILLA (Reggae) and
TONY FLUYE (Funk-Rock) bring the 12-song production to life. With
simple lyrics and enticing music, Renee fuses her passions; South and
North America, social work and music, love and nature.
You'll hear rock with a Nirvana/Byork/Blind Melon/Soundgarden feel (listen to So
Irrational, Lullabye, Smile) and Reggae - Manu Chau/Lee Perry/Wailers
with a female touch (check out Vinchuca, Break Away) - and - even
dancehall (Open Mind). Her vocals will make you dance and dream. The
bilingual album (English and Spanish) is characterized by Renee's
catchy but creative melodies and quirky song themes, including, insect
disease vectors ("Mosquito", Dengue fever prevention and "Vinchuca",
risk factors for Chagas disease) and love songs as odes to the Sun
("Oblivion") and the Sea ("Blue Mystery").
The album was first released in Buenos Aires, Argentina (aired live on
95.5 Rock&Pop FM and Open Air Radio) and released in NYC (Mopitkins,
June 9th). She will appear at the 169 Bar (169 East Broadway, NYC) June 27th at 10 pm for her second presentation in NYC - COME SUPPORT.
The disc will be rereleased on July 11th in SF Bay at ASHKENAZ
(1317 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley, 8 pm - 8$). The show is "Woman Fronted
Roots" - Renee Asteria - "Agent Double E" will split the evening with
Naomi & the Courteous Rudeboys
(myspace.com/naomiandthecourtenousrudeboys). Come out and DANCE!
Why AGENT DOUBLE E? - Well, as a woman - in Latin America it is
strange to be named Renée - so she has always presented herself as
René "with double e for a woman" translated in Spanish to "con doble
e para mujer" - and her nomadic lifestyle leads some friends to
suspect that she's a SPY - HAHAH. Who knows? Thus the name Agent
Double E (Agente Doble E)!
The disc can be purchased from cdbaby.com/asteria2 and
indierhythm.com/product.php?cdId=1834 and digital downloads from
musicnuvo.com/agentdoublee.htm .
