Norwegian progressive folk rock four-piece Tusmørke return with a new album entitled Fjernsyn i Farver on May 4th, out via Karisma Records. The band has teamed up with The Prog Sphere for an exclusive premiere of the title song.

 

 

 

The band comments on the track: “It’s like Tusmørke; you get it or you don’t. This track is probably Tusmørke at it’s most (Norwegian) new wavy, with a healthy dose of psychedelia, sci-fi and semantics.
Tusmørke is a psychedelic, progressive folk rock band from Skien, Norway. Fjernsyn i Farver (“Colour Television”) is their 6th full length album, loosely based on two concepts of light, time and reality. How everything we see is a reflection made by light from the sun hitting an object – The reflected light is registered by our eyes, but the reflection is also sent out in all other possible directions, travelling at the speed of light. The unobstructed reflections would travel forever onwards into space. If we could devise a means to move faster than light, we could overtake these reflections and view them again, seeing history backwards The second idea is that light is not seen as anything until it hits something and is reflected back, creating an image in colour for the human eye. So if there were no physical objects to reflect the light, there would be an eternal totality, a darkness of sorts, since light would not be seen.
All very mind-blowing, but Tusmørke are not afraid of anyone or anything – not even bafflingly complex theories of existence. They gladly tackle, grapple and wrestle with ideas they barely comprehend, yet keenly perceive to be significant.

(new video)MODERNTEARS’ – LISTEN THE NEW SINGLE “I’M LEAVING”

MODERNTEARS’ second single “I’m Leaving” has been published on Dreambound’s YouTube channel. The song follows on from the previous single “Wasting Away” which has been very popular with the public – the video has reached more than 100,000 views on YouTube.

This is what the Italian Modern / MelodicHC band had to say about it: “This track is related to the previous single ‘Wasting Away’, but in this track, the protagonist has become more aware of his value. The strong feeling of emptiness has been replaced by a more positive will to change, even if some demons have not yet been put to bed. This is a goodbye to the worst and the darkest days, desperately shouting that things are finally coming to an end. ‘I’m Leaving’ is a journey through melancholy and regrets”.

“I’m Leaving” is available in every digital store and on Antigony Records’ Bandcamp page.

The band is currently working on their debut album, which is predicted to be ready for release by the end of the year.

(news) Tonzonen Records: Classic Prog trio MOUTH Premieres new Single Distance, new Album out late March!

Mouth_Floating cover

Today we share the second single Distance with you. Originally Distance was planned as the first track, or exposition, of the Vortex symphony. Lyrically, the departure into a new world (the vortex) is discussed.
Mouth were formed in Cologne, Germany in 2000 as a trio, comprised of Christian Koller (vocals, guitars, occasional keyboards), Gerald Kirsch (bass) and Nick Mavridis (drums, backing vocals, keyboards). Indeed, their style is often cited as a mixture of ‘retro prog’, Krautrock, hard rock, psyche and glam rock – all together it fuses into a unique spleen often underlined with dystopian themes.
