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 special edition of 'Grappling Hooks' collects a selection of remixes of tracks from the album along with tracks recorded for a BBC 6 Music session and the band’s beautiful cover of the doo-wop classic I Only Have Eyes For You.

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

Afterthoughts is Nosound's fourth studio album, their first since 2009's A Sense Of Loss. That album was described by Goldmine as 'Nosound's most accomplished recording' (4/5) and Prog magazine stated that 'the expression of their loss is indubitably our substantial gain'.

Since then Nosound have also released the 2011 semi-acoustic album, The Northern Religion Of Things and the recent EP, At The Pier, as well as playing regular live dates around Europe.

Nosound's fourth official studio album Afterthoughts features a new line-up for the band and includes former Porcupine Tree member Chris Maitland on drums throughout.

Maitland's unique drumming has enhanced Nosound's dynamic range and taken the band's atmospheric Rock to a new level of power and sophistication.

Reviews for Afterthoughts;

"The clarity which reins supreme on the mix of this new album points the compass in a new direction...No afterthoughts or worries on this album. It is another stellar performance. Don't miss this latest chapter in the story." 
Mark Johnson, Sea Of Tranquillity 5/5

"Despite its bleak subject matter, the record is a life-affirming experience, and few other albums have ever matched its magnificent combinations." 
Jordan Blum, Popmatters 9/10

"You can never underestimate music like this as there is a lot to be heard beneath the surface." 
Tommy Hash, Ytsejam 4/5

"April is very early to think about my album of the year list, but with Afterthoughts Nosound has set the bar pretty high indeed... Afterthoughts comes highly recommended indeed." 
Marc, Prognosis 10/10

"The work of Nosound is a must-own for any person celebrated this current return of prog music or any real lover of any kind of music. "
Bradley Brizer, ProgArchy

"A perfect album to get to embark on a journey deep thoughts. I would see it as the perfect complement to Anathema's Weather Systems." 
Access2Music.de

"Nosound is a genre in itself. If you're not too addicted to adrenaline, discover this album, you should like me succumb to its charm." 
Alter, NeoProg.eu 4/5

"If you like Nosound without hesitation you can buy the new album, because you will not be disappointed. And if you had no contact so far with this band, it's worth looking around for some samples, because you can lose a good music. For me the big 5-Stars."

ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN - The Best Is Yet To Come

Auld Lang Syne by Jeff Loomis & Aaron Smith

In 2010 Anathema released We’re Here Because We’re Here, the band’s first new album for almost seven years. The album was awarded Classic Rock’s Prog Album of the Year as well as a host of other accolades and the producer, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), has described it as “definitely among the best albums I’ve ever had the pleasure to work on.”

The band now return with Weather Systems, their brand new studio album. The album will be available as a limited edition 2 disc set which will come packaged in a deluxe digibook and feature a 5.1 surround sound mix of the album.

Anathema have been at the forefront of the UK rock/metal movement for many years. They began their journey as pioneers of melodic heavy music, influencing a myriad of bands to follow them, before outgrowing all genres and limitations as they fearlessly explored new territory and new ways to express feeling through sound.

Formed in Liverpool in 1990, the band’s sound, and musical vision has continually evolved over the ensuing years while always remaining true to their original goal of creating forward thinking, meaningful, passionate and honest music. The line-up is really a collective of two families who were quite simply born to do it. Anathema consists of brothers Vincent, Daniel and Jamie Cavanagh, alongside childhood friends John Douglas and his sister Lee, who is an incredible singer in her own right.

There is a deeper bond in the group that transcends usual band politics, ego, and self-interest. They have a shared vision: to make the most incredible music they possibly can, and it seems, despite the lavish praise heaped on the band for their past work, that they are now taking their work to a whole new level.
