The Third Sound's sixth studio album 'Most Perfect Solitude’ is out on vinyl/CD today, alongside reissues of 'First Light' and 'All Tomorrow's Shadows'
Berlin psych/post-punk band The Third Sound's sixth studio album 'Most Perfect Solitude’ is out on vinyl/CD today, alongside reissues of 'First Light' and 'All Tomorrow's Shadows'. Get yours here -– there's a bundle deal if you pick them up together!
On 'Most Perfect Solitude', guitarist/vocalist Hakon Adalsteinsson says: “After touring ‘First Light’ heavily and releasing our Fuzz Club Session LP last year – a career-spanning, retrospective document – 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.”
On the one hand, jangly ‘60s 12-strings and breezy melodies shine on tracks like ‘Another Time, Another Place’ and ‘On Returning’, undoubtedly The Third Sound at their most radiant. Yet the record is not without its darker, heavier moments either – see the scuzzy psych-rock drone ‘Veiled’ or soon-to-be live favourite ‘Wasteland’, which sets a nightmarish vision of a city in ruins to the tune of heavy fuzz-guitar repetition and hypnotic drums.
