Layout by CoolChaserAzwel is a project that involves New York songwriter Jason Perrillo. For the past five years, he has been recording and producing his own independently released albums in his home studio. Jason describes his music as interesting melodic pop. The songs are influenced by various styles of music ranging from the early 1990's Britpop sounds of Blur, Suede to Scott Walker, Radiohead, Nobou Uematsu or even the Pet Shop Boys.Azwel completed a debut album entitled, "Hap End Void" in 2003. This was a very uniquely written and arranged electronic album that contained 11 original songs. Over the years, the sound incorporated more acoustic instruments into the mix. Azwel's music is always filled with lush soundscapes and each song has a uniquely original melody and chord structure. Apart from the album tracks many album b-sides exist and are available to download for free on the official website. Over the years, Jason has also collaborated with many other online artists.Throughout the years Azwel's songs have been reviewed online and have gotten very positive feedback such as "Track of the Day" at Garageband.com, Redfizz.com, Independant Artist Company and the albums have received some very positive reviews from major publications such as the New York Newsday. Azwel's songs have also been featured in Hollywood major motion pictures(Let The Game Begin), soundtracks, and compilations put together by several international independent labels.Azwel has currently finished an 11th album entitled, "Leaving The Fold" which expands the sound even further. In 2009, an Anthology was released containing 20 free downloadable songs, available on the official website. Refer to the official site at www.azwel.com for information.
