The Revelator is a San Francisco based indie rock band. Fronted by the magnetic duo of vocalists J Skaggs & Marissa Cornelius, The Revelator pairs story-driven songwriting with the contagious passion of bands like The Decemberists.

Since their early exploration of acoustic freak-folk on A Radiation Leak, the band’s first EP, The Revelator has steadily honed their production and songcraft with each release. Their Year of the Breakup EP saw the band add drums to the mixture, and the subsequent Drum Machines are People Too marked their foray into incorporating electronic elements. While their instrumentation has evolved, they’ve never lost sight of their north star; incisive songwriting, that is darkly seductive in its determination to traverse the depths of the soul and reach the recesses many writers shy away from. This distinctive writing style makes them one of the most exciting voices to watch on the indie scene. The band’s 2021 Strange Times single saw them weave these elements into a tantalizing show of things to come. Their forthcoming debut LP delivers on this promise.
