SWALLOW THE SUN
swallowthesun.net
Finnish death doom band Swallow the Sun announced their new album Moonflowers… coming out November 19th, 2021.
The band will also be releasing a bonus album featuring instrumental versions of all the regular album tracks off . The instrumental album has been composed for strings and was recorded at Sipoo Church in Finland, with strings by Trio NOX from Finland.
Guitarist Juha Raivio noted, “I know well that I should not say this, but I deeply hate this album. I hate where it takes me, how it makes me feel and what it stands for me personally. I wish it wouldn’t. But for all its honesty I got no option than also love it. That is all that matters to me with the music anyway and it doesn’t matter how it makes me feel, as long as it does. For me this album is like a mirror of a deep self-disappointment. Even I still want to believe that there is and could be more than this in me. But I don’t need or want to talk more about it. After all music means so different things to each one of us by how we have walked our own paths, and that is a beautiful thing about music. There is no right or wrong.
After I had finished writing all the music for this record in the fall of 2020 I started to write these small instrumental versions of the album songs for the violin, viola, cello and piano. Mostly because I was wondering how it would feel like to hear all these songs first as these intimate versions instead of a full band album. It was really beautiful to see and hear these songs come alive in this way and form, recorded live in this big church in Finland. To be able to hear the echoes of this music reflecting from the church walls and feel the very soul of these old wooden instruments played by real people in this sacred place. Something about hearing the strings breathe this fragile beauty into these songs that carry so much pain otherwise. Now looking back, maybe I wrote these versions just for myself to be able to hear and feel at least some kind of a beauty and solace in these songs, maybe…
I wanted to create the cover art of this album myself this time, so it would stand as brutally honest for me as the music is. So I painted the moon on the ‘Moonflowers‘ cover with my own blood and I decorated it with the flowers I picked up and dried on the spring of 2016. Maybe it isn’t the most outstanding looking piece of art ever made in this world, but for me it is everything. I wasn’t going to write any new music before I would have moved towards the right direction in my life, but finally all this music just forced itself out of me during the long nights of this hope crushing and neverending lockdown prison. Something grew out from that void eventually and writing these songs made me think a lot about moonflowers that bloom at the darkest hour of the night, so that name felt right to call the album also.”

THE WILD FEATHERS
TheWildFeathers.com
“Another Sunny Day” is the new song from The Wild Feathers… taken from their album Alvarado . The record will come out October 8th, 2021 via New West Records.
We saw them in Apr 2016 and wrote, “The Wild Feathers were the headliners of the show and had the crowd in the palm of their hand. These guys sounded a lot like The Shelters but had a completely different feel. They had a more laidback/ country twang to them than The Shelters but still had the energy and professionalism that you would want at a show like this.”
The band is on tour, see their website for a full listing.
