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

Living of the edge of Sanity

Title: Drinking Spirts 
By: Riot Chick
aka: Katie Fennell 

[Verse 1]
I am trapped in fear, as you are,  as you are me, now a we,
Will it get better together?
Complex and spun,
 like kids having fun, but backward, 
so how now, I'm cryin

[Verse 2]
Sanding on an earthquake 
Feeling like the only one,
Stupid happy hour, drink spirits that lie,
What a haunting custom, you lost, 
Your liquid soul has drown,

Chorus]
With the spirts
I am the man
You are the man
I am the spirit 
Oh, oh, oh, no oh

[Verse 3]
Mister rogers sitting in his chair 
Pretty little stories in a show
But today look how they lie to us like our heads are in the sky,
Ruining social life, I'm cryin'
I'm cryin', I'm cryin', I'm cryin
[Verse 4]
Red letter, wire tripping from a dead it lies
Grasshopper lover, popcorn princess
Boy, you got your cans all wrong,
Turn that car around

Chorus]
drinking spirts
I am the man 
You are the man 
I am the spirit 
Oh, oh, oh, no oh 

[Base-drop]

[Bridge]
Kneeling in an traffic jam waiting for the light
If the light don't change, you get more
Time Kneeling, waiting for it to change

[Dramatic Chorus]
drinking spirts
I am the man (are you?)
You are the man ( no I’m not!)
I am the spirit 
Oh, oh, oh, no oh (agreed, oh no indeed)

[Verse 5]
Professional, messenger, secret smoker
You don't you think the others smile at you?
(Oh, oh, oh no, la, la, la, oh, oh, la, la)
I am the spirit 
Oh, oh, oh, no oh (agreed, oh no indeed) drinks of craved promises that drown lives

[Verse 6]
Mother Teresa, 
Don’t look, mount Everest achieved
Children’s backwards play sound, from to old like man sprits, 
you should have seen them, (have you)
Picking fights with the Pope

EXXASENS - BACK TO EARTH
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRE-Order 25th August through www.aloudmusic.com
OUT 7th September thogh www.aloudmusic.com 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXXASENS comes back to Earth after a eight-year space travel and 4 DiY albums, including the acclaimed ELEVEN MILES (Aloud Music LTD 2011) and SATELLITES (Aloud Music LTD 2013) and one compilation (2007-2014, Ricco Label, Japan). In this period, EXXASENS has evolved from a one-man solo project (Jordi Ruiz) to a fully-fledged band. 

Jordi Ruiz (guitars/programming), Sergio Ledesma (synths/keys), Cesc Cespedes (bass) and Oriol Planells (drums) have recorded the last EXXASENS’ album at Siete Barbas Studios (Barcelona). Containing 8 inspiring songs, BACK TO EARTH offers the band’s renewed vision of instrumental music which introduces choirs, stratospheric guitar solos, electronic groove and even a sung song. The first album single “My hands are planets” is now released with a new video which is the sequel of the remarkable "Rocket to the sky" from the previous album (currently with more than 50.000 visits online).

The powerful and rich multimedia live show delivered by EXXASENS has brought the band to play in some of the most important European stages such as Primavera Sound (Spain, 2015), Dunk! Fest (Belgium, 2014), ProgPower Europe (Netherlands, 2015) or Astral Fest (Russia, 2011, 2013).

EXXASENS’ new album, BACK TO EARTH, will be released in September 7th 2015 by Aloud Music Ltd in Europe, by Ricco Label in Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia), and by Rock-House in Russia. News about pre-order and editions will be revealed soon.
