Celilo is a five piece Indie/Americana band from Portland, Oregon.  Celilo’s music pushes the boundaries with ambient Pink Floyd-esque atmospherics, languid tempos, burnt molasses vocals and eagle-eyed Steinbeckian observation. They evoke comparisons to the classic songwriters of the 1970’s, while drifting into the modern frontier with their soundscaped arrangements. Celilo has shared the stage with great musicians including Alela Diane, Elvis Perkins, Horsefeathers, The Maldives, Sera Cahoone, Mimicking Birds, The Moondoggies, The Paperboys, Clem Snide and many more. Celilo creates a noir blend of psychedelia, Americana and indie rock incorporating the mythology and imagery of the rivers and bridges of their hometown. They are currently in the studio with producer Gregg Williams (Sheryl Crow, Blitzen Trapper, Dandy Warhols) working on a new EP to be released in support of a 2010 Fall Tour of the UK!
