Hello everyone.

This week we're presenting you two new albums of denovali artists which didn't release new material since years: The long awaited new full length of Celeste and the first Selaxon Lutberg record in four years. Both are available for preorder from now on. In stores now: the new Piano Interrupted and Thisquietarmy albums.

PREORDER
::: Celeste – Animale(s) 2xCd | 2x12''
::: Selaxon Lutberg - Simboli Accidentali Cd | 12''

Expressionistic, sophisticated, evolved, overflowing, pitch-black. Just a few words, a desperate attempt to properly approach ANIMALE(S), the fifth full-length record of the French combo Celeste from Lyon. While their former albums have all been finished in a few months, it took them all the last three years to craft this concept double album. Unsurprisingly, the result of this long process is an opus which is so loaded and dense that it can barely withstand its inner pressure.

::: Direct Download: You can download the concept album for only 5.00 euros at [ www.denovali.com/mp3shop ]

::: Vinyl Preorder: We've pressed three different vinyl versions: 200x picture discs, 400x on black/ ultraclear and the regular version will be black. The limited Celeste editions are always selling quickly.

Selaxon Lutberg's Simboli Accidentali is composed of 8 tracks, which have been recorded at Andrea's home between 2010 and 2012 and mastered by Miles Whittaker (Demdike Stare). The typically warm and encasing songs are mostly made with processed and unrecognizable guitars, an old and cheap organ and loops from ruined tapes and vinyls.

AVAILABLE NOW
::: Thisquietarmy - Blackhaunter 12''
::: Thisquietarmy - Hex Mountains Cd | 12''
::: Piano Interrupted - The Unified Field Cd | 12''

CELESTE – ANIMALE(S) 2xCD | 2xLP | DIGITAL

[ www.denovali.com/animalescd.jpg ]

Expressionistic, sophisticated, evolved, overflowing, pitch-black. Just a few words, a desperate attempt to properly approach ANIMALE(S), the fifth full-length record of the French combo CELESTE from Lyon. While their former albums PESSIMISTE(S) (2006), NIHILISTE(S) (2008), MISANTHROPE(S) (2009) and MORTE(S) NEE(S) (2010) have all been finished in a few months, it took them all the last three years to craft this concept double album. Unsurprisingly, the result of this long process is an opus which is so loaded and dense that it can barely withstand its inner pressure.

The concept behind ANIMALE(S) is the bleak story of a boy and a girl, a kind of love story with a tragic ending. A story about how tough youth can be if parents discard their responsibilities. For once in metal-oriented music, a closer look at artwork and lyrics gives a new dimension to a record and is indispensable for a comprehensive and complete experience of this double album

Musically, ANIMALE(S) sees CELESTE developing their metal and hardcore oriented sound in different directions. Their music was always characterised by the interaction of monumental melodies, dark riffs, violent drums and expressive lyrics, but on the new album all these ingrediences are more expressed. The last three years' time has carved out the contrasts in Celeste's music like a stream carves out a rugged canyon. The melodies are more melodic, but also more sparse. Many parts are much darker and more noisy than the past albums. The lyrics are as savage as they can be without being vulgar. At the same time, ANIMALE(S) features exceptional collaborations with artists such as the experimental musician Ben Chatwin from TALVIHORROS -- also on Denovali Records - and the composers and sound designers Sabrina Duval and Jean Charles Bastion.

CELESTE truly managed to finish this double album at the right moment, before the amount of concept, composition and artistic skill would have been too much for a single album. Exactly for this reason, ANIMALE(S) is a unique piece of art, a coherent album which does not allow for anything to be added without destroying it. Simply put, it is just perfect.

SELAXON LUTBERG – SIMBOLI ACCIDENTALI CD | LP | DIGITAL

[ www.denovali.com/simboliaccidentali.jpg ]

Selaxon Lutberg is the ambient project of the secluded Italian artist Andrea Penso. After two albums, a collaboration record with Subinterior and various EPs, 'SIMBOLI ACCIDENTALI' ('Accidental Symbols') constitutes his third full length record and third release on Denovali Records.
As most of his works, the new album is strongly linked to Andrea's biography. Indeed, he states: "In a long video-interview by Donatella Baglivo, the Russian filmmaker Andrej Tarkovsky says that childhood 'is the moment in human life that determines all his future, especially if future will be linked to art, inner life and psychological problems. In other words, childhood feeds all the creativity of the adult
period.' Composing this album I tried to focus on accidental symbols mostly born during my childhood, tried to study them not in detail but in their essence. The 'subjective sounds' of this album were born from these thoughts and considerations." To support this motive, the album artwork contains an impressionistic story from Andrea's childhood.
Simboli Accidentali is composed of 8 tracks, which have been recorded at Andrea's home between 2010 and 2012 and mastered by Miles Whittaker (Demdike Stare). The typically warm and encasing songs are mostly made with processed and unrecognizable guitars, an old and cheap organ and loops from ruined tapes and vinyls. The resulting sound can be found somewhere in the vast landscape spanned by the ambient/postrock of LABRADFORD and SLOWDIVE's Pygmalion era, the analogue and decayed loops of PHILIP JECK and WILLIAM BASINSKI and the cinematic feelings of STARS OF THE LID and DAVID LYNCH's drones. Time to explore.

Piano Interrupted - The Unified Field CD | LP | DIGITAL

[ www.denovali.com/theunifiedfield.jpg ]

Piano Interrupted is the brainchild of London-based pianist and composer Tom Hodge and French electronic producer Franz Kirmann. Coming from two very different musical worlds (electronica, pop and techno for Franz; classical and minimalism for Tom), the two musicians had been friends for a long time before deciding to make music together. The Unified Field is Piano Interrupted's 2nd album.

It was recorded in London in the first half of 2013 and features 10 brand new compositions. Kirmann and Hodge began the recording process on Tom's childhood piano, a Pleyel baby grand complete with its own peculiar characteristics and quirky charm. Recordings of Greg Hall's cello followed, as well as the new addition of Tim Fairhall on double bass.

The title of the album comes from David Lynch's book Catching The Big Fish. In the context of his film-making, Lynch explains that if such a field exists then everything within it interconnects in one way or another, so that scenes and elements that may initially seem disconnected from each other emotionally or in terms of meaning, would in fact eventually make sense. This idea seemed particularly fitting in a musical context also, as it neatly captures Piano Interrupted's core music-making methodology; namely to draw upon multiple, varied styles and influences and bring them into one coherent unifying whole. The Unified Field exhibits many classic Piano Interrupted's traits and tropes, but whereas their debut album Two By Four was all about discovery, the new album is about the deepening musical relationship between Kirmann and Hodge through their continuous exchange of ideas. If Two by Four was an amalgamation album borne of three EPs, then The Unified Field is a much more focused and concise snapshot of Piano Interrupted's approach.

The new album simultaneously refers back to the intense intricacy of early EPs whilst building on developments from Piano Interrupted's live explorations and improvisations as well as the extended recording techniques and filmic sound of the Papa Hedi EP. Dense arrangements of fragile piano, colourful cinematic soundscapes, organic rhythmic textures and rich, warm strings provoke a diverse range of emotions. The Unified Field is both a seductive, one-time listening experience and a record to return to again and again to reveal its intricate secrets and subtleties.

Thisquietarmy - Hex Mountains CD | LP | DIGITAL
Thisquietarmy - Blackhaunter LP | DIGITAL

[ www.denovali.com/hexmountains.jpg ]

[ www.denovali.com/blackhaunter.jpg ]

THISQUIETARMY is the solo project of Canadian Eric Quach (formerly member of the instrumental post rock band outfit DESTROYALLDREAMERS). Since 2005 he explores under this moniker the never-ending spectrum of the guitar and its potential for exceptional ambient and loop drone sounds. Characterisic for Quach's experimental sounds is the inclusion of structural elements and textures from different genres such as post punk, shoegaze, kraut rock, post rock, black metal and doom metal. With a boundless creativity and energy Quach has released 20 physical records so far and has played over 200 concerts all around the globe in over 20 countries, including Canada, the US, Brazil, and almost all Europe.

The new album HEX MOUNTAINS encompasses Thisquietarmy's sonic growth through his latest travels & encounters across the world. Touring & sharing the stages with monumental bands such as Year of No Light, Caspian, Om, Deafheaven or Russian Circles has definitely marked his desire to take it up a notch. In an attempt to follow that ambition, Eric Quach leaves the misanthropy aside and enlists the help of drummer Scotty Rooney (Alaskan), bassist Dorian Williamson (Northumbria/Adoran) and vocalists Émilie Bresson & Jeanne Peluard (Monarch) to add fresh elements to TQA's sound: thundering drums, thick foggy bass and witch-like shrieks, while retaining thisquietarmy's signature drone-based soundscapes that remain omnipresent throughout the record.

The collaborative sessions were recorded live in the Basque countryside and in various urban parts of Canada, then brought back together in the studio to extract its essence, crafting as a result TQA's heaviest and darkest album yet. The epic guitar riffs, the explosive melodies and the uplifting beats will make you soar, but the creepy noise sorcery, the mental screams and the weighty burden will also make you want to throw up. From one peak to the other, climbing Hex Mountains is one hell of a trek.

In line with the release of this new album, Denovali Records will issue TQA's sophomore album Blackhaunter for the first time on vinyl.
