There’s a trust and flow that spawns a real magic in the music. You can hear the adventure in the songs”_ ~ **Jason Corbett (ACTORS, Jacknife Sound)** **[Revolution Above Disorder](https://www.facebook.com/revolutionabovedisorder)** presents his debut offering –[ **‘Illuminate’**](https://youtu.be/bPu2IXxe3e0)****– a powerful and euphoric post-punk / shoegaze single rooted in new wave and electro rock – a melting pot of post-punk, psychedelic rock and electronic music underpinned by raw, sincere vocals. Revolution Above Disorder is the solo moniker of Dubliner [**Stephen Nicholas White **](https://www.instagram.com/p/CT5neNRJfyZ/)**( The Orange Kyte, House of Dolls, The Subterranean Satellite Band, Magic Shoppe)**, who is currently based in Vancouver. Revolution Above Disorder’s music is electronic- tinged post-punk with raw, honest lyrics driving the songs. Revolution Above Disorder - Illuminate (Official Music Video) [⌊Revolution Above Disorder - Illuminate (Official Music Video)⌉⌊Revolution Above Disorder - Illuminate (Official Music Video)⌉ Watch this video on YouTube Experimental in its sound, but with a strong emphasis on songs and lyrics, ‘Illuminate’ is the original version previewing this 3-track release. This is guitar-based rock augmented by synths, drum machines and heavily treated instrumentation with a spine of pure melody. Where [**The Orange Kyte **](https://theorangekyte.bandcamp.com/)was an exercise in saying yes to everything and seeing what happens, allowing the sound and personnel to morph, twist, evolve and devolve, Revolution Above Disorder is driven by a well- defined over-arching postpunk-psychedelic aesthetic, as well as a more polished and meticulously crafted approach in the studio. ![](https://i0.wp.com/redirect.haulix.com/sv3bPH-Y0RDZ0PsLZ9_jyzmk0CbBJaikbY2OfOX8rOM% 3D/PromoAccessory_949168.jpg?resize=359%2C472&ssl=1) **Photo by Analissa Longoria** “Illuminate’ is the song that kick started Revolution Above Disorder. When the COVID- 19 pandemic hit, I’d just come off a European tour with Magic Shoppe and I found myself having to cancel scheduled plans with The Orange Kyte. In my downtime I began to reevaluate where I was headed musically and I realized I’d become dissatisfied with what I’d been doing. As I searched through old demos from the past, some going back over a decade, I was excited to hear songs with real potential that either I’d abandoned or just plain forgotten about. I grew interested in the idea of this modern day version of myself collaborating with my chaotic and directionless former self. I wanted to finish what I’d started many years prior. ‘‘Illuminate’ was the first one I needed to record,” says** Stephen Nicholas White**. “This was originally conceived in 2013, albeit with different lyrics. I changed the lyrics from a song of misery and self-pity to an optimistic song of enlightenment and transcendence. It’s a song about getting your shit together and overcoming your own bullshit. A call to arms of sorts as a reminder to dig deep when distraction and resistance come knocking. The first line is ‘Revolution above disorder, divinity over all else…’, it seemed appropriate to use Revolution Above Disorder as the name for the entire project after that.” The video was directed and edited by** Eliot Galán** of [**Galán Films**](https://www.galanfilms.com/projects/), a key creative (cinematographer, director, videographer, editor and colourist) in Vancouver’s film & tv industry, starring **Analissa Longoria** and **Mat Durie**.
