Recorded in just six days at Brighton Electric in September 2010, As The Spirit Wanes will be released in the UK on January 31st, 2011. Whilst from the outside last year has looked rosy for Codes In The Clouds with a remix album release, successful tours and festival slots, it’s also been a difficult year behind the scenes. Yet personal loss has proven a collective driving force, bringing the band closer as a group and shaping their surprisingly optimistic second offering:

“It’s not that the album has a set concept or theme, it’s just that each member of the band went through similar experiences around the same sort of time. So naturally, this is reflected in the album. We all feel really close to it, and it’s definitely the music we want to make. It’s a very personal record to us and we feel it’s a big step forward from the first release. The songs are definitely a better reflection of us as a collective of people. Hopefully others will identify with the ideas within the record and can relate it to their own experiences.” 

Co-produced by Erased Tapes initiator Robert Raths and label mate Ryan West, then mastered by Nils Frahm at his studio in Berlin, As The Spirit Wanes could almost be described as a family affair. Even the artwork has been inspired by the band’s time in Iceland, performing as part of the Erased Tapes label night at Iceland Airwaves 2010. Most importantly, it’s all about songs with As The Spirit Wanes offering its listener stunning melodies and razor-sharp hooks. From the Beach Boys pop appeal of Look Back, Look Up to the euphoric Washington, down to the emotionally charged two-minute hymn If I’d Have Known This Was The Last, Codes In The Clouds embody their genre in its most rewarding form. 


‘Delicate guitar-focussed passages that bloom and explode with a primitive, dramatic beauty...with "Look Back, Look Up" as close as the genre gets to pop’ *** – UNCUT

Honor

A final offering of light and surrender, where form dissolves into presence and intention fades into grace. Each sound moves like a silent prayer, unfolding without demands or weight. In the act of letting go, everything finds its place: whole, eternal, and free.

Mindsedge zostało założone w listopadzie 2006 przez grupę przyjaciół, którzy chcieli robić oryginalną muzykę nie trzymając się typowych gatunków. Grają mieszankę instrumentalnego rocka i metalu przeplatanego melodycznymi i melancholijnymi pasażami i solówkami połączonymi z elementami ambientu i space rocka.

Mindsedge was formed in November of 2006 by friends who wanted to make original music instead of conforming to typical genres. They play a blend of instrumental rock and metal interlaced with melodic as well as melancholic passages and solos with bits of ambient and space rock in-between.
