the shadows is the new album from leeds-based six-piece tomorrow we sail. building on their debut release for those who caught the sun in flight (gizeh, 2014) over the course of three years, this new work combines perfectly the soaring atmospherics, gorgeously intertwined vocal harmonies and dramatic shifts in tone and dynamics that have come to characterise tomorrow we sailÕs sound. yet, there is a new sense of urgency here. very much an album of its time, the shadows draws upon the same sense of connection to both past and present that defined its precursor but features storytelling thatÕs even more defiant and deeply personal.
like its predecessor, the record features seven songs but from the chiming guitars of opening track side by side it is clear that the stately pace of for those who caught the sun in flight has made way for a far more dynamic and driving energy, perhaps best captured in the righteous anger of the ghost of john maynard keynes. tomorrow we sail still invoke a keen sense of measured grace in their songwriting - from the sweeping, elegiac title track, through to the sparse, restrained, yet haunting beauty of winifred and to sleep. urgent, yet assured, the shadows demands your attention.

sometimes he sounds like the euphorigenic warmth of a spring wind, sometimes he send us on a fluorescent roller coaster ride through the bends of our brain: mollono.bass creates a world of sound that has many different climate zones. his remixes are probably the most vivid proof of this characteristic feature. they cover quite all aspects of electronic dance music, but frequently they also come from genres that are surprisingly remote. somehow he manages to merge all these different vibes and inspirations into one compelling flow of danceability. thats why the fourth part of the mollono. bass remix collection is like a panoramic view of all these different layers of mood and atmosphere.

what is modern russia? an infinite space filled with skyscrapers made of gas and oil, golden crosses on church domes made of titanium, thousands of multi-floor beehives with millions of concrete honeycombs, where the fate of tired people burn out every evening. sensitive and subtle stirrings of the mind, persistently pushing up towards the light through the bootstrampled dirt, and blackened by ignorance. an infinite space of a centuries old experiment of power over man, and man over power on its way from nowhere to nowhere.

elegant, melancholic, sometimes menacing, with smoldering piano melodies, desolately whistling organs, and a jaunty jaw s harp loop, kissed by the golden californian sun, or shrouded in gloomy, dreary fog: sophia kennedy is currently the most versatile composer in german pop music Ð not to mention the greatest singer. her debut album -sophia kennedy- reveals her as a dramatic romanti-cist and distanced diseuse, as a deft lyricist and master of melody. in her eleven songs, she travels from doo-wop to dubstep, from classic crooning to breathless r n b, from frank sinatra to beyoncŽ. her talent for songwriting is deeply rooted in history, yet it seeks nothing but the present: both historically versed and timelessly beautiful at the same time. all tracks have been produced by sophia kennedy and mense reents (who is known as being a member of die všgel, egoexpress, die goldenen zitronen).
