Aereogramme Prepare To Launch New Album and A New Sound

Why Glasgow-based quartet, Aereogramme, aren't absolutely massive is beyond me. They are one of the most unique bands on the planet, this is a fact that has been evident from day 1 and their "A Story In White" album.

The band are preparing to release their new album "My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go", through Chemikal Underground, on February 5th. Kerrang! Magazine certainly liked what they heard judging by this London gig review, where the band previewed the new material...

"Tonight the Glasgow outfit sound bigger than ever as they treat a rowdy Water Rats crowd to tracks from their forthcoming album and unveil a new member, adding shimmering pianos, soaring backing vocals and sweeping strings to their menacing soundscapes".

While Rock Sound felt inclined to say....

"...as as the band exit the stage to rapturous applause, they leave Rock Sound with the feeling that we have witnessed something truly special."

You can stream all of the new songs at this album-special website. My personal favourites include the glorious, violin-driven "Nightmares" and "The Running Man". The band seem to have focused more on vocal melodies and arrangements and it is a welcome addition to their already majestic sound .

Finally, there is also a major European Tour scheduled, with details here.
