Press Release
Lightdark
2 CD deluxe digipack expanded edition (15-09-2008)
'Lightdark' inventively combines influences from '70s psychedelia, '80s/'90s ambient and contemporary alt/progressive rock.
Recorded in Italy, England and the US throughout 2006 and 2007, the album develops further the promise of debut album 'Sol29' and exhibits a stronger group identity which reveals a greater contrast between atmospheric detail and the walls of sound created by the band on stage.
Highlights include the 15 minute epic 'From Silence to Noise', the ethereal 'The Misplay' (with cellist Marianne DeChastelaine), and the epic piano/mellotron driven ballad 'Someone Starts To Fade Away' (which features No-Man's Tim Bowness on vocals). This 2 disc edition of the album includes an exclusive 5 track bonus disc including the video for ‘Lightdark’.
DISC ONE
1. ABOUT BUTTERFLIES AND CHILDREN
2. PLACES REMAINED
3. THE MISPLAY
4. FROM SILENCE TO NOISE
5. SOMEONE STARTS TO FADE AWAY
6. KITES
7. LIGHTDARK
DISC TWO

2. LIKE THE ELEPHANT ?
3. YOU SAID ‘I AM..’

Clouds (digital download ep)
One of Nosound's more eclectic releases, 'Clouds' is a 3 track EP of exclusive, new, material recorded during the sessions for the band's forthcoming album, 'Lightdark'. Coming two years after debut release, 'Sol29', the EP can be considered as a bridge between their atmospheric first album and the more diverse and dynamic, 'Lightdark'. This is the tracklist:
1. cold afterall
2. like the elephant?
3. clouds
'Cold Afterall': One of the first songs prepared for the new album, the song is an aexcellent example of the new 'band' sound that Nosound has developed since 'Sol 29'.
'Like The elephant?': An improvised song featuring distorted guitars and psychedelic rock experiments. Featuring the typically melodic and down tempo Nosound sound in a harder 'rock' context.
'Clouds': A 10 minute ambient and electronic instrumental, originally intended as the coda to 'Lightdark', the title track of the new Nosound album.
