Three years on from debut album Sol29, Nosound returns with its
highly anticipated second album, 'Lightdark', released through the
Burning Shed label. Regarded by critics and fans alike as one of
the most interesting up and coming alt/art rock bands in Europe,
Lightdark sees the Nosound identity evolve into something even
more focused and powerful.
'Lightdark' inventively combines influences from '70s psychedelia,
'80s/'90s ambient and contemporary alt/progressive rock.
Recorded in Italy, England and the US throughout 2006 and 2007,
the album develops further the promise of debut album 'Sol29' and
exhibits a stronger group identity which reveals a greater contrast
between atmospheric detail and the walls of sound created by the
band on stage.
Highlights include the 15 minute epic 'From Silence to Noise', the
ethereal 'The Misplay' (with cellist Marianne DeChastelaine), and
the epic piano/mellotron driven ballad 'Someone Starts To Fade Away'
(which features No-Man's Tim Bowness on vocals). The album single
'Places Remained' is also available for free download among the
'Lightdark' promotional video.
On the band's official website and myspace page (link below) you
can find for free the single 'Places Remained', plus a lot of free
music to stream in high quality. There's also a recent addition with
a full 20 minutes long cover version of Echoes performed by the band
in October at Stazione Birra!
The album is already available for preorder and will be released
on 6th February 2008, packaged with a stylish 16 page booklet
complete with photos and lyrics.
To coincide with the release of Nosound's new album, 'Lightdark',
the band's celebrated debut release 'Sol29' has been reissued in
a remastered and recompiled final edition.
Now sounding more detailed, clear and powerful, this is the definitive
'Sol29' edition and compiles all the music written during the first phase
of Nosound's evolution.
