Helsinki-based postrock band All Will Be Quiet will release their debut album on Wednesday 2nd of May. This is preceded by a single release Wide Eyes and Space
Flights, which introduces the band and its way of stretching the borders of this genre. The single and debut album are released by Lionheart Records.
After working for eighteen months on the upcoming album, the band is finally
ready to release it. They waited until they were totally satisfied with the outcome. This can be heard in Wide Eyes and Space Flights, which is truly is a polished piece. Distinctive rhythm patterns, Alex Kauffmann's ethereal voice and the violin and the cello playing in the background make this song particularly interesting and powerful. And we all know how much I love the violin and cello.
The apocalyptic theme and atmosphere in Wide Eyes and Space Flights is a great
foretaste of the upcoming album On the First Day. With their debut album
All Will Be Quiet tells a story of a new beginning, change and opportunities
the humankind will face after everything is lost.
This is almost prog rock. Why do we need tags? But sometimes I hear a little Barclay James Harvest here. All in all I am really digging this band, and can hardly wait for the album to be released in May.
So meantime, in between time check out the aforementioned single.
