Splitting The Atom

Psyche (Flash Treatment) [feat. Martina Topley-Bird]

Grappling Hooks, the debut album from North Atlantic Oscillation was released last year on Kscope. The album received massive critical acclaim including being named as Zane Lowe’s Album of the Week on his BBC Radio 1 show.

The band have been described as prog-pop and electro-rock, but really they just make music. The music has soaring harmonies and loud guitars and dreamy synths and heavy drums and strange effects and unexpected changes-of-mind.

NAO are the Scottish based trio of Sam Healy (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, synths, sax, percussion), Ben Martin (drums, percussion, programming) and Bill Walsh (bass, synth bass, vocals). They describe themselves as playing their instruments within a computerised wall of sound.

“Super exciting new Rock n Roll for a new decade”
Zane Lowe, BBC Radio One

“They really are quite alarmingly good”
Drowned in Sound Single of the Week

“NAO may well be your favourite new band” Artrocker

Grappling Hooks is a subtle yet powerful kaleidoscope of purring electronics, atmospheric layers and hook-laden melodies. Preceded by single Drawing Maps from Memory, out on March 8th, the album proves that the praise that was heaped upon Callsigns EP was entirely justified.

“Their bright, friendly electronics and Brian Wilson harmonies suggest Scotland may have the beginnings of its own Animal Collective. Ones to watch.” Metro

دل زارم - محسن نامجو

ANATHEMA return in June with distant satellites, their brand new studio album 

“distant satellites is the culmination of everything ANATHEMA been working up to so far in our musical path. It contains almost every conceivable element of the heartbeat of Anathema music that it is possible to have” – Anathema 2014

distant satellites is the highly anticipated follow up to ANATHEMA’s critically acclaimed 2012’s Weather Systems and last year’s stunning concert film Universal directed by Lasse Hoile. distant satellites was recorded at Cederberg  Studios in Oslo with favoured producer Christer-André Cederberg. Alongside additional mixing by Grammy Nominated Steven Wilson, ANATHEMA also brought in the legendary services of Dave Stewart (Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson) to create the new album’s extraordinary orchestral arrangements. ANATHEMA has been at the forefront of the UK rock movement since its inception, influencing a myriad of bands to follow. What began as a pioneering journey of melodic heavy music has outgrown all genres and limitations, fearlessly exploring new territories and new ways to express feeling through sound and now their star is rising ever higher.

distant satellites will be instantly recognisable to ANATHEMA’s global army of ardent disciples as another chapter in this band’s remarkable story. With a few strides into uncharted territory, not least the electronica-driven surge of the album’s stunning title track, distant satellites will surely be recognised as not only their finest album to date but as one of the most celebrated and lauded albums of 2014. A gleaming anthology of beautifully crafted songs, performed with vitality, verve and utmost passion, once again demonstrating the sublime, instinctive song writing talents of the Cavanagh brothers and drummer John Douglas. Complementing the album is the beautifully ethereal artwork created by Korean new media artist Sang Jun Yoo, based around his Distant Light Installation in New York. Having returned from a sell out North American tour with HIM in March 2014  ANATHEMA and are gearing up to begin extensively touring distant satellites starting with Australian dates, selected summer festivals and a tour across the Europe in the autumn.

-Lyrics-

Hook (Neon)

I thought you’re mine
And I tried to go trust you
Sipping this wine
Only I knew, couldn’t see through

Chorus (Neon):

And when the time comes
I’m not there
And if you have some love
I’ll give my tears
You’re just what I want ‘cause it’s all yourself
I wished you luck
When you left me for someone else

Break (Neon):

Why, why
Did you leave me in the dust, baby?
You rushed on me
Oh, don't let this repeat

Verse (dragonfly beach):

I still get up out of bed
But I feel like it’s the end
You said to me, “I feel thirty-three”
When we were only seventeen
Falling asleep to old movies
Cinematic for all of the tragedy

Chorus (Neon, dragonfly beach):

And when the time comes
I’m not there
And if you have some love
i’ll give my tears
You’re just what I want ‘cause it’s all yourself
I wished you luck
When you left me for someone else

Someone Else (feat. dragonfly beach)

During 2014 & 15 the band toured the world extensively to promote Distant Satellites both as a full band and also with a stripped down acoustic show.  It was the band’s performance at a one-off show at Gloucester Cathedral in 2014 that opened up a new chapter, giving them an opportunity to set the music in an ornate, beautiful environment. In March 2015 the band played an acoustic tour of Cathedrals in the UK that culminated in a sold out show in the impressive Liverpool Cathedral, the band’s hometown.

Having previously worked with Anathema on their acclaimed ‘Universal’ concert film, Lasse Hoile captured the 100 minute acoustic set in high definition against the sensational backdrop of Liverpool Cathedral.  Featuring 15 songs selected from the albums Distant Satellites, Weather Systems, We’re Here Because We’re Here, A Natural Disaster and Alternative 4, the ‘Anathema Acoustic’ trio of Daniel Cavanagh, Vincent Cavanagh and Lee Douglas were joined by rhythm section John Douglas & Jamie Cavanagh, alongside their very talented close friend David Wesling on cello who also played on Hindsight (2009) and A Moment In Time (2006). For this exclusive performance the band were also joined by the renowned violinist, Anna Phoebe on a haunting rendition of ‘Anathema’. The audio has been produced and mixed by Christer-André Cederberg who worked on Distant Satellites, Universal and Weather Systems, with the cover and booklet artwork featuring the stunning photography from the show and behind the scenes by long time collaborator Caroline Traitler. This is the first Anathema live release to feature a 5.1 audio mix, engineered by Bruce Soord.
