Vocals are reflective and there is an ambient atmosphere with a synthetic flute sound, and a loud guitar rhythm backed by soaring lead guitar, I would say similar in some ways to David Gilmour's Pink Floyd lead breaks.
 
I am glad I stumbled across this!    


Cool
Great! I am glad you stumbled across it too!

Yeah, that odd time signature in the chorus is intentionally there to unbalance the musical message. Fantastic vocal from Marc too. Love Brendans keyboard solo on this too, one of the highlights of the album for me. Any comparison with Gilmour is ultra-flattering ... a hero of mine for sure. Approve

Cheers!

No problem! Smile

TRACES is from the new album just released and features the new lineup (inc myself, Marc Atkinson, Brendan Eyre, Neil Quarrell), this video was created by Steve Cozart. more videos from the new album will be coming soon. I am filming some footage this week for a video for 'Falling To Pieces' from the new album

REMAINING DAYS and DROWNING NOW are from the first album ST LO released in 2008 on which I played and sang everything myself. This album has a very different feel to the new material.

Cheers! Cool

Looking at the categories here I would guess Neo-Prog? Most comparisons so far have been with Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree and even Marillion.

Not really sure what we are other than musicians Big smile

Adrian here from the band NINE STONES CLOSE

The new album entitled TRACES has just been released and has been gaining some popularity and airplay oin The Dividing Line Network shows and on AiiRadio. The online release party was hosted by Frans Keylard on a Rogue's Gallery special show on the 27th of november and contains the whole album including interviews with the band. The podcast can be found on the link below (show number 343)

The new album features five tracks weighing in at 44 minutes in total, plus there is a bonus CD with an additional 30+ minutes of music.

The album artwork was created by the amazing ED UNITSKY and is truly stunning. The album features myself Adrian Jones on guitars, bass, keys, programming,  Marc Atkinson (Mandalaband, Riversea, Gabriel) on Vocals, Brendan Eyre (Riversea) on keyboards, Neil Quarell on Bass.
