At the end of the summer RHYS MARSH AND THE AUTUMN
GHOST return with their third full-length record, The
Blue Hour, in which MARSH leads them into another
bold sonic-territory. Today MARSH is pleased to unveil
the new video for the first single from The Blue Hour entitled
"Read the Cards". The video was shot in Trondheim, Norway and
is available for viewing exclusively HERE.
The trademark combination of dynamics & melancholy
remains, though this time the strings & Mellotrons have stepped aside for
brass & woodwind ensembles. There is also a noticeable change in the
vocal presentation - the thickly-layered harmonies have now been stripped
back to a more monophonic point of focus. All of these elements come together
beautifully, giving the album an incredibly warm & intimate atmosphere.
From the outset - the hypnotic rhythms & longing woodwind arrangement of "And I Wait" which slowly unfurls over seven minutes, after which heading straight into the sixties-tinged "Read The Cards", with its heavily-staccatoed horn section & old-school double drums - it's clear thatMARSH is pushing further forward.
For The Blue Hour, MARSH has
once again assembled a new AUTUMN GHOST, this time featuring the
cream of the crop of the contemporary Norwegian music scene. In fact, this is
the first album on which MARSH has chosen to feature an
entirely Norwegian line-up, borrowing from bands such as Jaga Jazzist, The
National Bank, Emmerhoff And The Melancholy Babies & Pelbo, along with collaborators of Susanne
Sundfør, Kaizers Orchestra & Magnet. This also marks the first occasion
that an AUTUMN GHOST album has been written & recorded
entirely in Norway.
Recently a teaser video for The Blue Hour which features a glimpse into the recording process of the album, which was recorded in Trondheim, Oslo and Bergen Norway, was released. The video also features a two minute preview of the track "The Place Where You Lay". Check out the exclusive video HERE.
The Blue Hour will be released on Termo
Records on September 25th in North America and is available for pre-order HERE.
