February 7, 2016  (Press Release) -- Atlanta-based indie-folk/Americana act City Mouse has officially released  Sanguine Sessions—a set of singles recorded by Tony Terrebonne, Head Engineer of Atlanta's legendary studio, ZAC Recording Studios. In advance of the release, the band shared singles at Paste Magazine, No Depression & Glide Magazine, with Paste calling them "Immensely talented songwriters" and Glide comparing them to The Milk Carton Kids.  Sanguine Sessions   is out now.

City Mouse’s upcoming single “Blood Red Youth” displays what the Atlanta band’s fans already know—City Mouse are immensely talented songwriters. Since they formed in 2013, the band’s persistence, enigmatic stage presence and originality—forged around the lyricism of frontman Brian Revels—has led to many a sold-out show. They've shared bills with bands like The SteelDrivers, Cicada Rhythm, The Howlin’ Brothers, Underhill Rose, Family & Friends, The Darnell Boys and more.

​The trio (Revels, Jenna Mobley & Michael Hudgins) became a staple of the Atlanta Americana scene with their debut EP Joy of Life, and continues now—with help from a host of noteworthy Atlanta musician friends—as a Revels solo project. In the wake of extensive touring, co-founder and guitarist Hudgins needed a change of pace. The original trio’s split was amicable, and led to City Mouse partnering with Tony Terrebonne (head engineer of legendary Atlanta studio ZAC Recording) to cut two last songs with the original lineup (Mobley on violin, upright bass and vocals, Revels and Hudgins on electric guitar, banjo and acoustic guitar). The recordings, dubbed The Sanguine Sessions (coming Winter 2017), include “Bloodshot Eyes,” Hudgins’ poignant waltz about love being the catalyst for kicking bad habits, as well as the Revels-penned “Blood Red Youth,” City Mouse’s latest single. According to Revels, “Blood Red Youth” is a passionate, frenetic conversation between young lovers, a song, he says, “full of the nervous energy that comes with young love. As it goes on, the dialogue becomes more intertwined and it’s difficult to distinguish one voice from another. It’s a parallel to both the figurative and physical aspects of being in and making love.”
