Renate/Cordate Show off New Material in Rehearsal Video; Sophomore Album Coming in 2014

Finnish instrumentalists Renate/Cordate have sent along an update on the progress of the follow-up to earlier-2013’s self-titled debut (review here). They’re set to record the bulk of the album at the end of the month and will be working with members of Domovoyd on adding noise and ambience thereafter. Hard to say what the final result will be, but the group has posted a practice video for the song “Humankind (Not My Kind)” that was recorded live in their rehearsal space, so at least there’s some way to get a feel for the texture of the new material, incomplete though it may be. Ranging from heavy psych to post-metal atmospherics, Renate/Cordate was hardly light on mood, and it seems like the band have kept that ethic going into their sophomore effort.

The biggest change you’ll notice immediately is the inclusion of vocals. Drenched in echo and somewhat sparse, they’re still more than showed up last time out, so I guess Renate/Cordate are continuing to refine what they want their sound to be and where they want to go with their psychedelic progression. Get a feel for how it went down in the jam room with the clip below:

The video was filmed in our rehearsal place/studio and audio was also recorded at the same time. This song has been on our live setlist for quite some time, and therefore we decided to give everyone a sample of the new stuff we’ve been writing. Here you go!

The new album will be recorded at the last weekend of 2013, and after that vocals and additional noise will be recorded ASAP. Niko from Domovoyd will be giving his personal touch on the album by adding noise/ambience/etc, and he has been joining us on stage now for quite some time. The plan is to release the album on vinyl in 2014.
