Following the release of his free "+" EP in the Summer of 2010, Pittburgh's Wise Blood (aka Christopher Laufman) splashed hard and quickly gained the attention of the online music community with stealth and ease. His weirdo party jams came out of nowhere introducing his warped, screwed collages full of finely detailed compositions backed by tremendous soul. Wise Blood has now signed to rising label Dovecote Records and has announced his first official release for the New York City imprint on August 2nd, 2011. By day, twenty-one year old Laufman works in a cemetery as an undertaker. When the sun goes down he is better known as Wise Blood, turning out heavy sample based pop bliss in his bedroom. The youngster, who is influenced by anyone from Prince to Madonna to Slim Thug, is very ambitious... At the age of sixteen, Laufman turned down a scholarship to the highly prestigious Julliard claiming that he "will attend the school only after he takes over pop-music". He is also taking his show on the road for a full tour in support of Friend Fires later this month.

Wise Blood's fanbase runs deep and ranges from celebs like Ellen Page who has been posting all over the internet about his music to Daphne Guinness who appeared in his "B.I.G. E.G.O." video earlier this year. Watch that video HERE via The Fader.
