Formed in 2005 around the talents of Vancouver-based visual artist Sydney Vermont and prolific indie rocker Dan Bejar (Destroyer, Swan Lake, New Pornographers), Hello, Blue Roses craft atmospheric, almost mystical folk-pop in the style of '60s visionaries such as Bill Fay and the Trees Community and new wave radio mavericks like Prefab Sprout and Kate Bush. The duo's debut album, Portrait Is Finished and I Have Failed to Capture Your Beauty, arrived in 2008 on Locust Records. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
