    <title>Rhys Marsh And The Autumn Ghost</title>
    <link>http://virb.com/rhysmarsh</link>
    <description><![CDATA[Following on the success of the critically-acclaimed debut album, 'The Fragile State Of Inbetween', Rhys Marsh returns with 'Dulcima', his second Autumn Ghost album in the space of a year.

From the provocative saunter of 'In The Afterglow', via the requiem-esque 'Divide In Silence', the snake-charmer's swagger of 'Nine Times Beautiful', and the deceptively-innocent lilt of 'You'll Never Fall', to the full-on prog assault of 'In Dark, In Light', this is a dark affair through-and-through, which, while still retaining much of its predecessor's melancholy, barely surfaces from its intense and often dense soundscape.

'Dulcima' was written and recorded simultaneously, over the course of seven months, in Trondheim, London and New York. The city atmosphere was an important influence in these songs, as they helped to harness the urgency that Marsh wanted to capture. Another important facet of this album is that, like his debut, many of the songs feature elements from the initial demo recordings. It's this spontaneity and energy that further sets 'Dulcima' away from its peers.

Alongside his long-standing rhythm section of Jo Fougner Skaansar (double bass) and Takashi Mori (drums), this album also features the heavy-handed help of Mattias Olsson (Änglagård), Ketil Einarsen (Jaga Jazzist), Trude Eidtang (White Willow) and Lars Fredrik Frøislie (Wobbler).

'Dulcima' comes in a beautiful digipak, complete with lyrics, and is available to pre-order now, from Burning Shed.


“The year's autumn soundtrack.” Natt&Dag

“Askew and magnificent.” Panorama

“'Dulcima' is full-tilt, intense modern progressive rock that will appeal as much to fans of Muse and The Mars Volta as to fans of David Sylvian and King Crimson. It's a mixture of classic sounds — mellotrons, analogue synths and fat guitars abound — and a modern sensibility, with an in-your-face production and ultra-precise playing. The songs are rich in contrasts and dynamics, changing on a dime from serene and meditative to loud and menacing.” Record Heaven

“Nothing short of spectacular.” The Big Takeover]]></description>
