简介
Brazilian post-rock band Herod Layne – Sachalf (guitars), Elson (bass, guitars), Lippaus (guitars), Johnny (drums) – announces the release of their new album, entitled Absentia. The album contains seven songs and three incidental songs, and was recorded during a six-month period. “Absentia is an album about loss”, explains guitarist Sachalf. “We have been through some personal issues recently, and these feelings were invariably absorbed in the compositions”, he adds. “Although we are mostly an instrumental band, we tried to express these feelings through the music”, says drummer Johnny. Such feelings might have been expressed in the proper structure on the songs, as the album features light ambient tracks together with heavier accents. “We love extremities”, says bassist Elson. “Therefore, we wrote songs like ‘Drug-Induced Inertia’ which is more guitar-oriented, and ‘Absentia’, which is like a mantra based on guitar effects”, he completes. The album also contains long crescendo tracks the band has been acknowledged for, together with “300-Megaton Lullaby”, which features unexpected vocals. “The song was originally instrumental, but we wrote some words and a vocal line and saw they might fit in”, explains Sachalf. The artwork images were taken during their 2009 tour in Canada. The main cover picture is an abandoned house found in the middle of a small road in Ontario. “By the time we saw this house we knew we had an album cover, no matter what album that would eventually turn out to be”, says Elson. The release also brings in a new band formation – Lucas Lippaus (Gray Strawberries, s.o.m.a.) has just joined the band to play the second guitar.
