"A daring artistic shift, moving from the
linear esoterica of Mogwai towards their more kaleidoscopic
contemporaries 65daysofstatic. By the final brilliant closer 'To
The Skies From A Hillside', not only is their wellspring of underlying
grandeur being tapped, it's also clear that there's even greeter things to
come, too."4/5 -- Kerrang
"Epic guitars, crashing drums and intense keys --
it's a dramatic record that will shake your bones." -- NME
Leicestershire, UK's Maybeshewill announce the forthcoming North
American release of their third album, I Was Here For A Moment, Then
I Was Gone. The record will be released on September 19th via British
label Function Records. The quintet will tour stateside in
support of the album this Fall amid extensive worldwide dates. US dates
will be revealed soon.
Check out official videos for album tracks "To The Skies From A Hillside" HERE and "Critical Distance" HERE.
Maybeshewill is James Collins (drums), Matt
Daly (keyboards) John Helps (guitar), Robin Southby (guitar) and Jamie Ward
(bass). They've worked tirelessly over the past five years through endless
touring and three full-length albums to build a loyal and enthusiastic
following across the world. Sticking to steadfastly DIY ethics, the band have
self-recorded all their material to date and aspire to be as self sufficient
as possible.
The band released their debut four-track EP entitled Japanese
Spy Transcript on their own label, Robot Needs Home Records in early
2006 which was later picked up by Japan's XTAL Recordings (Caspian,Yndi
Halda) and released in an extended form in August of the same year.
Nottingham's Field Records released the band's self-recorded debut album Not
For Want Of Trying in May 2008. The record was Huw Stephen's album
of the week on his BBC Radio 1 show in its week of release
and received glowing reviews from RockSound (8/10), Kerrang (4/5)
and Drowned In Sound (8/10), amongst many others. After
touring the release extensively around the UK with friends Fight Fire
With Water, Worriedaboutsatan and And So I Watch
You From Afar, they quickly began working on their second fell-length.
A year later, in June 2009, Sing The Word Hope In
Four-Part Harmony was released, once again through Field Records.
After much touring worldwide, the band joined the Function Records roster in
2011, releasing I Was Here For A Moment, Then I Was Gone in
the UK, Europe and Japan in June. The album was once again self-recorded with
Jamie at the board, though this time the band worked in more traditional
recording studios.
The album received wide-spread critical acclaim
across the board, including Kerrang (4/5), RockSound (8/10), Big Cheese
(4/5), NME (7/10) and Artrocker (4/5). In an unprecedented move, the
album was played back to back in its entirety on Kerrang Radio in
its week of release and gained the group "Band of the Week" accolade
on RockSound's website for two weeks running.
I Was Here For A Moment, Then I Was Gone will
be available on LP, CD and download on September 19th, 2012 via Function
Records.
