Alunah Finish Recording New Album; Confirmed for Up in Smoke Fest
According to my in-depth field research, and by that I mean seeing the post on the band’s Thee Facebooks page, the just-mentioned Tony Reed of Mos Generator/HeavyPink fame began mixing the new Alunah album yesterday. Alunah‘s third, which I feel at this point has been a while in the making though that may just be my own impatience, will serve as their Napalm Records debut, and was recorded by Esoteric frontman Greg Chandler. It will follow-up the stellar sophomore outing, White Hoarhound (review here), and is set to release in September. Needless to say, but I’m stoked at the prospect and it’s among my most anticipated records for the fall.
Alunah have also been confirmed to appear at the Up in Smoke fest early in October as part of a to-be-announced European run. They’ll join the likes of Kadavar, Dozer, Conan, Mars Red Sky and Brant Bjork at festival that, well, would be awfully nice to see. Info on the recording and the fest follow here:
Recording Complete…
We have just returned from a small English tour, and the week before we finished recording our upcoming third studio album with Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios (released September 2014 on Napalm Records). Photos can be viewed here and it is now with Tony Reed for mixing and mastering. Here’s what Soph had to say:
“After an intense and inspiring week spent at Priory Recording Studios in Canwell with Greg Chandler, we have now finished recording our third album. Having worked with us on our past albums as well as fronting the majestic Esoteric, Greg shares our vision and understands where we are coming from in terms of sound and songwriting. We have spent the last few months writing and reworking the songs over and over again until we were all happy, and have pushed ourselves in terms of playing/singing technique. To hear the songs sounding as we envisioned them is wonderful, and hugely rewarding. Tony Reed will begin the mixing and mastering process in the next few days, and we cannot wait for you all to hear the end result.”
2014 European Tour…
As mentioned above, our album will be released in late September, and we will be spending 2 weeks on tour in Europe throughout September and October. Sound of Liberation are putting the final touches to the dates, and we hope to announce them very soon. We will also be filming a music video in July, where we will also be filming a short video with illustrator Michael Cowell talking about the concept surrounding the album artwork, as well as announcing the album title and track-list.
Alunah confirmed for Up In Smoke Festival on Saturday, October 4th 2014!!
West Midlands based ALUNAH carve their own path merging elements of doom, psych and classic heavy rock with earthy hypnotic vocal melodies.
