Sunbeam Records presents a reissue of Roger Rodier's Upon Velveatur, originally released in 1972. Often compared to the work of Nick Drake, Upon Velveatur is a dense and mysterious French-Canadian folk-psych suite, featuring beautiful melodies, lush orchestration and scorching electric guitar. Barely circulated on its original release, it has gathered a major cult following and is now making its first appearance on CD, complete with five bonus tracks, rare photographs and sleeve notes by the enigmatic M. Rodier himself.

"Fragile folk-rock of the highest order. This is really an excellent album, one of the finest acid folk items, and certainly a record that deserves more attention." --www.lysergia.com

"Super rare Canadian loner folk album from 1972 with beautiful sweeping orchestration and some tasty West Coast guitar breaks. With a feel that recalls Nick Drake, Axelrod-style arrangements and a fragile, haunted quality, this lost gem has to be heard to be believed." --Freak Emporium

"Stoned is the way of Velveatur's walk, and the odd lash of stinging guitar is sure to keep you on your toes. All who hear this album fall under its charm." --www.soulstrut.com
