17 songs for 17 paintings of the forest.

This is the sixth album 'The Hidden Forest' from Anoice, an instrumental music band featuring a dark and cinematic sound. Because of the effects of the spread of coronavirus, Anoice decided to cancel all upcoming tours in March last year, and after that, released new works from Anoice and the members' solo/side projects; Yuki Murata, RiLF, Films, Mizu Amane, Cru, and Tokyo Ambient Collective and took charge of soundtracks for movies and TV drama series, but have now finally completed Anoice's new album after the longest ever production period in their history.

This album 'The Hidden Forest' took inspiration from 17 paintings of the forest painted by Naoko Okada, and includes 17 songs with the same title as each of the paintings, with a total length of 72 minutes. It consists of mainly beautiful neo-classical songs played by a piano and string quartet such as the first lead single 'a perfect day for a funeral' and 'second coming', and also spectacular songs with dynamic drums like the powerful ground, such as the second lead single 'quiet wish' and 'the promised day' and sometimes quiet ambient music made of collaboration with the nature sounds such as 'into the light' and 'trickery and butterflies'. You can find similar themed melodies and patterns of the codes, with similar instrument formations through the whole album, but no two are identical, just like the leaves of trees within the forest.

In addition, one of the biggest features of this album production process is having used not only recording studios but also power of nature such as forests and rivers. You may be able to feel as though you are standing quietly in the forest via the songs with the sounds of animals such as birds, owls, insects, and flogs and the nature such as wind, water, and squeaking trees which were sometimes recorded in a foggy forest, sometimes in a dark forest in middle of the night, and sometimes in a forest where a strong wind blew.

This album with the tension in the air will be hopefully be remembered in history as one of the most beautiful dark music albums of all time.

Quedate / by Nyna Loren and Samy Dib

After two critically acclaimed albums released under the stage-name Lole, the Swiss artist was able to take her 
particular brand of folk music beyond the borders of her own country (France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Scandinavia) as a headliner or as an opening act for renowned artists such as Joe Cocker, Paul Simon, Donovan, Marianne Faithfull, Nouvelle Vague…) 
Olivia Pedroli is now back with “The Den” an intriguing new record at the crossroads between classical, folk 
and experimental, entirely produced in Reykjavik, by Valgeir Sigurðsson, the Icelandic producer well-known for 
his collaborations with Björk, Camille, CocoRosie, Bonnie Prince Billy, etc. 
This new recording will be released under her real name, Olivia Pedroli. It shows the evolution of her compositions and voice towards more personal and enchanting horizons. www.oliviapedroli.com
