Revolution Above Disorder is a solo moniker of Vancouver based Dubliner, Stephen Nicholas White. As an artist, White really has his finger on the post-punk pulse and whose previous incarnations in The Orange Kyte, Strange Things and The Subterranean Satellite Band are testament to his talent, vision and versatility as an artist. As a multi-instrumentalist, White’s music quivers, shudders and burns from the same epicenter of The Jesus and Mary Chain, David Bowie, Syd Barrett, The Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Psychic TV, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Cigarettes After Sex etc. He’s an artist whose guitar-synth music backtracks to the sensibilities of neo-psychedelia and slowdives into shoegaze shores of Indie-pop.
What’s great about White’s music is he goes beyond the frontiers of alternative rock and embraces the ever evolving soundscapes of dream-pop. Where some music repetitively churns out the same patterns of post-punk, White uproots and adds a cinematic commentary building suspense, intrigue and tension along the way. As an artist, White creates a portal for the conscious and the subconscious, a sort of release of reveries that keeps us awake at night and consumes us in the day. Like an expansion of sub-genres, Revolution Above Disorder, blows an array of dream-pop bubbles, reflecting its iridescent rainbows between the spectrum of shoegaze, ambience and slowcore.
As a musical journey, Revolution Above Disorder enlightens and floats on astral-acid clouds, in between the hypnagogic hummings and nocturnal cocooning, whilst free-wheeling on the distant drones. With his debut single “Illuminate“, Revolution Above Disorder shakes and stirs, whilst shining light on new horizons. It’s a mesmerizing track whose shoegaze shivers and noise-rock rumbles drift through the dwellings of dream-pop from another galaxy. It’s a track that is so very now, which crosses contemporary realms of gauzy guitars and lustrous love-leaks. Through the telescopic tones and aloof orbits , Illuminate transmits under frayed frequencies that shimmer and spin their subliminal satellites. It’s a track whose space-synths glide and tilt aside the fuzzy riffs and pulsating beats, amidst the industrial clangs and nebulous nuances.
