Copenhagen’s progressive genre-crossing quartet Vola return with their new album “Applause of a Distant Crowd”, which will be released on October 12th, 2018, via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group.

Vola's previous album “Inmazes” was met with a wave of critical praise; Prog Magazine lauded their “widescreen heavy stadium Prog”, Metal Hammer rejoiced in the “genre-defying, weighty riffs, gloomy, ambient soundscapes and guttural grooves”, whilst The Sun exclaimed their “genre-mashing” ability.

It might have taken Plenty three decades, including a long period of dormancy, to release a new album, but there is absolutely no doubting that Plenty’s pedigree promises an album well-worth the wait.

Formed in 1986 from the remnants of the eccentric Liverpool-based Post-Punk ensemble A Better Mousetrap and the Art Rockers from Warrington, After The Stranger, Plenty would be the immediate predecessor to Tim Bowness’ No-Man band. With a sound that alternated between electro-pop anthems, poignant ballads and ambient experiments, and with a distinct nod towards contemporary artists such as The Blue Nile and Prefab Sprout, Plenty found themselves positioned alongside icons such as David Bowie and Peter Gabriel.

Woodstock, NY based Ghost Against Ghost will release their first full length “still love” on April 14th, 2017, via Our Silent Canvas.

This 65 minute LP weaves themes of love, heartbreak, and betrayal into monolithic synth-driven space-rock, with inspiration as diverse as Nine Inch Nails, Sigur Ros, Vangelis and Pink Floyd.
