Big Big Train – Welcome To The Planet

https://www.bigbigtrain.com/

Release date: January 2022

Listen: https://youtu.be/i71iIzWgu2w (acoustic)

“Welcome To The Planet comes six months after the release of the band’s critically acclaimed top 40 album Common Ground. Big Big Train founder Gregory Spawton explains the short time between albums: ‘The experience of the pandemic has shown us that we need to make the best use of our time on Earth. With that in mind and with new band members on board giving us a fresh head of steam, we decided on a speedy return to the studio to write and record Welcome To The Planet.’”

Wardrunna – Kvitravn – First Flight of the White Raven

https://wardruna.com/home/

Limited edition box set, LP, CD and more – out April 22nd.

Listen: https://youtu.be/mHAWJKmMTRQ

“Kvitravn – First Flight of the White Raven is an audio-visual ‘live-in-studio’ recording that was broadcasted online, as the release show of the Kvitravn album. It was recorded in a time when it was not allowed to perform in front of an audience, which made it very important for me that the recording itself truly captured the energy of a live performance. What you hear, is what we performed in that moment in that room. No re-recordings or autotune was done in the afterwork. Just like for a regular concert, the set list was carefully put together with a selection of songs from all our albums, including a handful of songs from the new album, which we performed for the very first time. On the day of recording, we all stood together in the same room for the first time in over a year. Everyone came focused and well prepared and the energy felt like no time had passed. I hope you will agree!” – Einar Selvik

Tvinna – One in the Dark

https://orcd.co/oneinthedark

Listen: https://tvinna.bandcamp.com/

“One – In The Dark is the first out of four chapters, in which TVINNA break down the different stages of life – each linked to one of the four elements. Their debut album is focusing upon the first chapter of our life: the state of being unborn and the process of birth – reflected through the element of water in its different shapes. Each of the 9 songs on the album tells a story about where we come from, are made of and are born into. One living being, out of the dark, connected and dependent.”
