*. Advina .*

Album: Fortune Teller (2012)(EP 6 Track's)
Genre: Prog Rock (Post Rock/Alternative)  /  Canada

Advina is a post-rock band from Thunder Bay, Ontario and come from the school of bands similar to Circa Survive, Moving Mountains, As Cities Burn, Harvard, and Explosions in the Sky. With a focus on creating an environment with the music rather than the lyrics, this compelling 5 piece have released their first EP entitled Fortune Teller in May of 2012. This sets the tone for the album. Advina have created something larger than just a simple 6 track album. Bursting with atmosphere and crowd-like backing vocals, this album feels a lot larger than the sum of it’s parts. Mixed and mastered by Gregory Dunn (Moving Mountains) “Fortune Teller” exceeds the level of quality that you’ll find many independent bands settling for. Each track flows with unpredictable dynamic and captures the emotions. Lyrics resemble the struggle of regret, heartache, and frustration. Advina’s approach is gentle and welcoming at first but once they grab your attention, the mixture of sounds is curiously captivating.
