Hi there
Following on from recent releases for Cap Pas Cap and Patrick Kelleher & his Cold Dead Hands, we are delighted to announce the release of SOMADRONEs new masterpiece, 'Depth of Field'...
The album will be released next Friday, followed by a full Irish tour in December. Full details below....
Somadrone - Depth of Field
Label: Skinny Wolves Records
Cat No: WOLF007
Release Date: Friday 3rd December
Web: www.iamsomadrone.com
ABOUT 'DEPTH OF FIELD'
San Francisco based Somadrone's third long player, Depth of Field, is a follow up to 2007's Of Pattern and Purpose and 2005's Fuzzing Away to a Whisper, released on Trust Me I'm a Thief Records.
Member of Dublin's cult band, Redneck Manifesto, Somadrone recorded Depth of Field in Dublin, Ireland / Siggen, Germany / Stockholm, Sweden / Noyant la Gravoyere, France / Berkeley and San Francisco, California, A number of these recordings were written and recorded at various artist residencies including EMS (Institute of Electro Acoustic Music, Stockholm), during free intervals while study for a PhD in Music or while living in temporary exile.
The result is far from pre-existing material: 7 out of the eight 8 tracks have vocals, more acoustic instruments and standard song forms. Along with aid of a brass and string combo, Depth of Field is a totally new sound for Somadrone; a minimalist inspired electronic pop songbook, somewhere between Ennio Morricone, Jim O Rourke and Air.
Depth of Field is out on Skinny Wolves Records, December 3rd 2010 on Vinyl, Cassette and Download.
Preorders available from the Skinny Wolves Store
