So they indeed have a new album already (due out in June). I see its
been added here already. Saw them perform the title track last night on
Jimmy Fallon. Rather a "noisy" song, so it was hard to get a good
"feel" for it. Seems interesting, in any case. ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Bummer... Brandi Carlisle was the musical guest on Fallon. Sure you didn't mean Jimmy Kimmel? ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Yay! Thanks, good clip. This could turn out to be one of their more "upbeat" albums, we'll see. I generally prefer the depressing stuff, but this tune was a good one. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Yeah, really looking forward to this one. I'm actually loving the change in sound though. I'm hearing a lot of Industrial and Dark Ambient influences.

Yeah, I think that's what they're going for Steve. More from a rhythmic perspective, you can really hear it in Orri's drum now - they play such a big part now. I stayed up for that Jimmy Fallon performance though. That was probably my favourite song out of the two. -------------

My wife even likes this one. She once made fun of me for listening to them. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

| It seems like they're making this album significantly darker which will make for a good change. |

If it's more industrial & darker then I'm likely to be a fan.

 The more upbeat stuff is definitely more her thing. She liked this new song well enough to share it on her Facebook wall. I'll bet the fact it was on Jimmy Fallon had a lot to do with it, though. She loves that guy.

Just finished my first listen. Wow!! Nothing at all like Valtari. As I posted in another thread: Noisy. Majestic. Brilliant!! Hopefully its not one of those "loved it at first, but then..." situations. It's by far their most aggressive album. I think that even if you've never liked SR in the past you still must give this a listen. I'm now regretting skipping their recent tour. Hopefully they'll have another one soon! ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |
