On the site is a link to the record label page where amid the superlatives is the following information on this album: "three ecstatic and terrifying new tracks, and an archival recording of the legendary Malgaard Suite from 1972." |

Yes, that will be awesome. But if I must find something to b*tch about, the title sucks.

This is great. I'm seeing them live tonight, maybe they'll play some new material.

They played all three of the new tracks, first the title track, then a very calm song called The Return, and then (on first hearing) the best of the bunch, which was "about a pagan sacrifice of a virgin for harvest". I'm sure they said the name too, but right now I can't remember it. They were... very promising. Very much Comus, but not quite wild as the first album. The crowd responded really enthusiastically to them, even compared to the classic First Utterance material, which in its entirety was the rest of the set. A great gig.
And they called the upcoming release an EP, so when it's time it should be added as such, not a full studio album. Ahh, here's the track listing for the EP: Side One Side Two It's coming out on vinyl in mid-April, and sometime later on CD, they said. Seems to be LP length, but due to the half-new half-old, half-studio half-live nature of it it should be listed as they say. Edited by Pekka - March 10 2012 at 16:36 |

I was also at the gig in Helsinki last saturday and I agree that the new songs sounded promising. They didn't grip me the same way some of the old songs did, but still showed potential. I'll definitely give the new songs some spins when the EP comes out.

I listened to First Utterance after the gig and thought that the singer's (what the hell, I love that album, I should know one name from the band, right?) voice was a lot better in places now years later as an angry old man.

I'm hoping that this 5th post will unlock my ability to create threads, but I guess we'll see...!
