The eleventh day of Khristmas is... NOSOUND
Regarded by critics and fans alike as one of the most interesting up and coming alt/art rock bands in Europe, Nosound inventively combine '70s psychedelia, '80s/'90s ambient and contemporary alternative, progressive and post rock. The project started as a one-man studio project in 2002 by Giancarlo Erra, but has since grown into a five-piece band. The music is evocative and intense, with influences ranging from Pink Floyd to Brian Eno, through to Porcupine Tree and Sigur Ros. In 2013, the band released Afterthoughts, their fourth studio album, For the album, Giancarlo and the band have been joined by the former Porcupine Tree and Blackfield drummer, Chris Maitland. This was followed by re-mastered deluxe edition of Lightdark, the band's breakthrough album which was released in November. In between these releases the band played at the first night of the Kscope 5th anniversary shows at the Garage in London and today as part of our '12 Days of Khristmas' celebrations we are giving away a free download of their performance of 'I Miss the Ground', a track which originally appears on the Afterthoughts album.

The new album from Nosound featuring former Porcupine Tree drummer Chris Maitland
Nosound return in May with Afterthoughts, their new studio album. For the album, Giancarlo Erra and the band have been joined by the former Porcupine Tree and Blackfield drummer, Chris Maitland.
Afterthoughts is the Nosound's fourth studio album, their first since 2009's A Sense Of Loss. That album was described by Goldmine as 'Nosound's most accomplished recording' (4/5) and Prog magazine stated that 'the expression of their loss is indubitably our substantial gain'.
Since then Nosound have also released the 2011 semi-acoustic album, The Northern Religion Of Things and the recent EP, At The Pier, as well as playing regular live dates around Europe.
Nosound's fourth official studio album Afterthoughts features a new line-up for the band and includes former Porcupine Tree member Chris Maitland on drums throughout.
Maitland's unique drumming has enhanced Nosound's dynamic range and taken the band's atmospheric Rock to a new level of power and sophistication.
