Was hesitant about picking this up but I thought oh what the heck?!  It's bound to be a goodie hence the lack of Wilson etc. :p

Anathema premiere the first track "Springfield" from new album The Optimist, out now - http://found.ee/The_Optimist

Daniel Cavanagh: "Here we present the song 'Springfield', it’s actually the song that closed our unforgettable Wembley gig with Opeth and it seemed to be a track that just fell into place without much effort. It seemed to do itself. The song forms part of a narrative that runs through The Optimist album, it’s a narrative that begins where A Fine Day To Exit left off. The album is a journey. The songs are ambiguous. There is no right or wrong way to take them. Make of them what you will.”

Anathema’s eleventh full-length The Optimist sees the ambient rockers creating some of the darkest, most challenging and unexpected music the sextet have put their name to.

Anathema, led by brothers Daniel and Vincent Cavanagh, along with drummer John Douglas, singer Lee Douglas, bassist Jamie Cavanagh and drummer/keyboardist Daniel Cardoso began recording The Optimist in the winter of 2016 at Attica Audio in Donegal, Ireland and then finished at Castle Of Doom studios in Glasgow with producer Tony Doogan [Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian, Super Furry Animals] at the helm and was mastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios.

BLACKFIELD (extended)

"The band build the intensity slowly but surely, before collapsing in a jail of expansive melodies that, when at their best, are little short of breathtaking. This is genuinely impressive stuff." - Ryan Bird, KERRANG! (4 'K's)

"Introducing the progressive rock album of the year... They have a knack of making perfect melodic sense out of strange time signatures and complex, layered intricacies that is simply on a higher plane to others." - Guitarist Magazine (4 1/2 stars)

"... one of Australia's best exports" - Christina Fuoco-Karasinski, AOL/Noise Creep

"'Sound Awake' is an album of immense progressive proportions that boast some brilliant atmospherics, excellent melodies courtesy of vocalist Ian Kenny, accomplished musicianship and adventurous songwriting." - Darren Sadler, Rocksound

"'Sound Awake' is the band's finest work to date - an ambitious exploration of sound that borders on sheer genius." - Faster Louder

"... it's almost impossible to find a scuff anywhere on this gem... This is a powerfully diverse album, thick with artful instrumentation, and a sheer ability to kick an unprecedented amount of arse. Well worth the wait." - Atticus Bastow, Inpress

"Unpretentiously, they've had a crack at writing a masterpiece. Unceremoniously, they have succeeded. Only good things can come from such a brilliantly honest, and honestly brilliant work of art." - Mike Wafer, Xpress Mag

Blackfield II is the second studio album by Blackfield. It was recorded in both Tel Aviv and London, and is OUT NOW.

"End of the World" is a cover of an older song in Hebrew, performed by Geffen and Berry Sakharof. Hebrew versions of "1,000 People" and "Epidemic" were included in Geffen's album from 2006, "With the Time". A demo version of "Where Is My Love?" was released on the bonus disc of the limited edition of Blackfield's first album.

"Christenings" was originally written for Porcupine Tree's 2005 album Deadwing but was never released. Richard Barbieri and Gavin Harrison are both featured on this track.

This record re-unites Aviv and Steven in the follow up to 2004's hugely acclaimed debut, which was hailed at the time as 'hypnotically effective' (Classic Rock, UK ****) and 'another strike of genius from Steven Wilson' (Eclipsed, Germany).

Blackfield II, recorded in Tel Aviv and London and produced and mixed by Steven Wilson, continues and expands on the band's orchestrated melancholic rock sound, combining great hooks, sweeping strings, explosive guitars, and lush vocal harmonies.


Tracklist:
Once
1,000 People
Miss U
Christenings
This Killer
Epidemic
My Gift of Silence
Some Day
Where is My Love?
End of the World

Press quotes for Blackfield II

"... an album of mournful, one-paced rock, Geffen's infatuation with Radiohead very evident in the melancholy synth-string washes. Miss U is the standout, although the Genesis-esque End of the World comes close."

Blackfield - End of the World (from Blackfield II)

The record label Kscope was created in May 2008 to provide a home for the growing post-progressive genre and an evolving, flexible and adventurous style of music without boundaries.

In recent years, a growing movement of bands has started to reclaim and reinvent aspects of the progressive, post-punk and post-rock genres, re-establishing a desire to experiment with eclectic musical sources and state of the art widescreen sonic possibilities. Kscope was created to provide a home for this evolving and adventurous style of music without boundaries, and was launched in 2008 with new albums from its first signings The Pineapple Thief and No-Man. New albums have since followed from the legendary likes of Anathema, Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree/Japan keyboard player Richard Barbieri, highly rated newcomers North Atlantic Oscillation and Lunatic Soul (the solo project from Riverside's Mariusz Duda). In addition to these releases the Kscope catalogue also now contains a series of deluxe reissues of classic albums from Porcupine Tree, The Pineapple Thief, Blackfield and No-Man.
