About the album:
“Correatown” is the first album by Angela Correa to be released on Bed Pan Records, a tiny independent label in San Diego. Initially, the songs were meant to be a humble little demo of one-takes, Angela just playing and singing a natural performance. However, after listening to the songs, producer Gregory Page (Jason Mraz, Tom Brosseau) decided to paint in a little color between the spaces of music and lyrics Angela had created. Most of the songs chosen for the album were actually the first take. The result is a collection of songs that are intimate and sincere, yet texturally loose and organic.

Haunting, genuine, beautiful and sparse are words most often used to describe the music of Angela Correa. Currently based in Southern California, Angela is originally from a small town in Northern California. Her music skirts genres, an amalgam of early American folk, country blues with a certain lo-fi indie rock temperament. Influenced as much by Elizabeth Cotten, Bessie Smith and Jack Elliot as the likes of Beat Happening, PJ Harvey and Neil Young, Angela flirts with traditional folk by telling rich stories brought to life with real melodies, distinctive arrangement and contemporary topics. She is both literate and whimsical, and the nuance and subtlety of her voice is what most intrigues listeners.
