3,00 €
In stock
500 x black vinyl
200 x clear
A: Somniloquist
B: Pictures of Sadness
A prelude to the band's grand album release in March, we present Somniloquist by Messenger on limited edition seven inch vinyl. The flipside features a breathtaking rendition of the song Pictures of Sadness, originally performed by Eduardo Bort on his eponymous 1975 album. The song is exclusive to this 7".
MESSENGER (UK) is a musical troupe from London formed in the spring of 2012 by Khaled Lowe and Barnaby Maddick. They booked a session with producer Jaime Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios that gave birth to their debut album, Illusory Blues: a cosmic ode to the forces of nature and the inevitable cycle of life. To cite musical influences would be futile. The musicians had made their names with bands in scenes as far apart as hardcore punk, black metal, and ambient music. Tonally, one might recall finding oneself in the same "space" occupied by other architects of sound such as Ulver, The Beatles, Swans, or Pink Floyd. But the stream of sound that emanates from the source of Illusory Blues is a heaving mass of organic richness, brimmed with intricate sounds that acknowledge the original fathers of experimentation but look forward in creating something new and unique. They dwell equally in the earthly realm of folk music and in the celestial void of progressive psychedelia, but have chanced upon a sound and an experience that sounds like no other.
