That sounded amazing, I'm really excited for this album now, sounds like its going to be similar but with a very distinct feel to it, cant wait! BTW, I loved the animations early in that video. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Thanks Andrew. The animation is from a Russian animated film called The Glass Harmonica - pretty cool stuff, obviously inspired by artists like Delvaux, Ernst and Magritte. In other words, it looks proggy ;-) J.

seems like you're getting my money again, guys! glad you bring back Sylvia. she's got such nice voice and i really like Storm Season. Tim sounds good too. only complain is this album seems a bit too bright for WW. is that the final mix yet? ------------- And who are we to justify the right in all we do Until we seek, until we find Ammonia Avenue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrmJ39j58W0 |

Terry - good to hear! :-) Do you mean bright musically, or sonically? It's pretty much the final mix, but of course degraded by mp3 and youtube compression. It's actually, sonically speaking, a much darker-toned album than the previous, but it could be that these selections don't showcase that. We've gone for a murky, analog sound :-) Jacob

I guess the real news is that there is a new album in the pipeline. Any more info on that?
(Album name, release dates, tracks, cover image, etc?)

The start of the video says its Terminal Twilight and out on October 11th and I'd guess the opening pic is a close up of the cover artwork, though I havnt seen any mention of track listings. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

In case you hadn't heard, today was the release of White Willow's brand new album "Terminal Twilight". The whole album is streaming for a limited time over at AOL Music: http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds#/27" rel="nofollow - http://music.aol.com/new- If you like what you hear, order it here: http://termo.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/cd-white-willow-terminal-twilight And if you need further convincing, here's what some folks have said about the album: "Terminal Twilight is an album of amazing diversity, oustanding musicianship and stunning vocal work." - Musical Discoveries "A gorgeous, haunting album" - MSN Entertainment "A haunting beauty" - Absolute Zero Media "full of beautiful vocal melodies, superb instrumental parts, great sounds, glorious tunes, loads of fascinating diversions, enchanting acoustic forays, and bursts of powerful rocking." 9/10, - Ravenheart Music "Stunningly beautiful, almost heart-achingly so, Terminal Twilight unfolds and reveals itself like a painting that shows more and more with each viewing. White Willow may very well have delivered an album that stands next to Leprous' Bilateral as my Album of the Year." - Bloody Disgusting (never mind the name, it's THE site for horror movie reviews that also has a music section...) "This is a band that oozes style and this is an album that is rather classy to say the least, seeing the band play with some very interesting themes and musical soundstages. The band has managed to capture an endearing soundstage that is captivating; musically poetic and full of atmosphere." - Sea of Tranquility "White Willow's Terminal Twilight is a treatise in adventurous music, prog meets art rock meets orchestral and electronics in a perplexing and intriguing milieu. This is certainly not for the faint of heart or those stumbling over the next fluffy, sugar-coated, current music trend." - Dangerdog Music Reviews "one of the most beautifully composed and yet perplexingly complex albums of 2011" - Infernal Masquerade Cheers, Jacob

I was rather surprised to see this on the "new releases" rack at my local CD store! Not previously familiar with the band, but it seemed too good to pass up. Have listened to it only once, and at work so I wasn't focused on it. Seemed nice, but nothing particular special (sorry!). Of course I'll have to listen to it more to have a really good feel for it. ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

| To each his own, of course. But give it some time - White Willow albums are known to be growers and a bit of an acquired taste, especially if it's your first exposure. :-) |

I definitely wouldn't judge this album (or any album actually) with an inattentive listen. Much like Sacrament took me some time to get into, back when I discovered White Willow, this one as well takes time to unfold its hidden beauty and appeal. Now that I've listened to it several times (not enough yet for a review, but it will come), it has won me over. Gorgeous, more adventurous than previous albums, and to me their best yet (I hate that cliche, but it's true in this case). For those interested, here's an interview I did with Mr. Holm-Lupo: http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/2011/09/interview-jacob-holm-lupo-white-willow.html" rel="nofollow - http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/2011/09/interview-jacob-holm-lupo-white-willow.html ------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |

I agree with this, for the most part. I remember when I saw that "Sacrament" was on Greg Walker's list of best prog albums. I listened to it and thought he was a bit off. But it has really grown on me over the years. And this album is no different. Whether it's ultimately better than "Sacrament," time will tell. But it's close, for sure. ------------- "I have seen the broken sky turn blue." http://gnosis2000.net/ratertodd.shtml" rel="nofollow - My Gnosis Ratings |

I'd agree with that as well, the only reason I loved Terminal Twilight on first listen was because I was in the dark with the sound way up! Oh, and excellent interview there Assaf, some excellent questions and answers. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Hello!
Any chance of a vinyl release?! :) I bought the vinyl re-issue of the first album and loved it! Actually, would love it if the plan is to re-release all the previous albums in similar beautiful vinyl packages!

There will indeed be a vinyl release of Terminal Twilight, it's just around the corner, actually :-) And yes, we have similar plans for the rest of the catalog. As you may know, we already started with the first album, which was released as a pretty gorgeous double gatefold LP with a long bonus track. More to come! Jacob

I haven't given up yet!  Just giving my first impression. I will certainly listen to it many more times (well, unless it's really awful! <g>). Honestly, based on reviews of previous albums I do have somewhat high hopes for it.Frank ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |
