OLA PODRIDA TO RELEASE NEW LP 'BELLY OF THE LION'

'Belly of the Lion' is David Wingo's highly anticipated second full length release under the name Ola Podrida. Written and recorded by Wingo, 'Belly of the Lion' is a fitting follow up to Ola Podrida's hugely praised self-titled debut lp which received high marks from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, SPIN, BrooklynVegan and Gorilla Vs Bear, landed on Best of 2007 lists for My Old Kentucky Blog and V Magazine and found Ola Podrida sharing stages with the equally talented Fleet Foxes, She and Him, and Beach House, among others.

A Texas native who has lived between Austin and Brooklyn the past few years, David Wingo has made quite a name for himself as a sought-after soundtrack composer, notably for films by David Gordon Green, Todd Rohal, Craig Zobel, and Jared Hess. It was while living in Brooklyn last year that Wingo set to work on his tremendous new lp, 'Belly Of The Lion'. Writing, recording and playing nearly everything on the album, Wingo created a shoegazey folk rock record so organic, so unique and well-balanced, it's hard to believe he was alone in his apartment during most of the process. Chock full of unsentimental love songs and cinematic songscapes built with layers of guitar and vocal melodies, the album tracks swell to the point of nearly bursting, shimmer like gems, and are gently driven by rhythms and fragile vocals.

'Belly Of The Lion' will be available November 10 2009 via Western Vinyl (Here We Go Magic, Balmorhea). A US tour tba.
