The Third Sound announce new album 'Most Perfect Solitude' and share single/video 'Another Time, Another Place' along with EU/UK tour dates

The Third Sound announce new album 'Most Perfect Solitude' and share single/video 'Another Time, Another Place' along with EU/UK tour datesBerlin psych/post-punk band The Third Sound are today announcing their sixth studio album ‘Most Perfect Solitude’ and sharing the lead single ‘Another Time, Another Place’. Out April 26th digitally and May 17th on vinyl/CD the album is also supported by newly-announced European tour-dates.  We're also announcing vinyl reissues of the band's 'First Light' and 'All Tomorrow's Shadows' albums, save £££ by pre-ordering those and the new album together here

Talking about the album, guitarist/vocalist Hákon Adalsteinsson says: “After touring First Light’ heavily and releasing our Fuzz Club Session LP last year – a career-spanning, retrospective document in a way – this album feels like starting with a clean slate. There is a certain warmth to some of the songs that has not been there before, but they still flicker between light and shadows, kind of like a slow motion audio version of Brion Gysin‘s Dreamachine.”

 


 

‘Another Time, Another Place’, is a perfect case in point. Although a forlorn longing seems to permeate the track lyrically, it is perhaps The Third Sound at their most radiant – with shimmering jangle-pop guitars and breezy melody. Describing the single, Hakon writes: “Driving 12 string rhythms and guitar melodies lay down a 60's influenced foundation that is contrasted by a melancholic vocal delivery, creating a bittersweet, nostalgic ride.”

‘Most Perfect Solitude’ marks a new chapter, not just in sound but personnel, for the Berlin-based band led by Icelandic musician and author Hakon Adalsteinsson – who, outside of The Third Sound, has played in the likes of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Singapore Sling, the Anton Newcombe & Tess Parks band and, most recently, Golden Hours. Introducing a new Third Sound line up, the new record finds Adalsteinsson (Guitar/Vocals) and long-time member and collaborator Robin Hughes (Organ/Guitar) joined by fresh recruits Frankie Broek (drums) and Golden Hours band-mate Wim Janssens (bass).

In support of the release of ‘Most Perfect Solitude’ the band are also announcing EU/UK tour dates, including a performance at Fuzz Club Festival on May 3rd @ the Effenaar, Eindhoven
