Iamthemorning announce new album ‘The Bell’

IAMTHEMORNING have announced a new album!

The new album, titled The Bell, follows Belighted, the award winning Lighthouse and their most recent live studio film Ocean Sounds and is scheduled to be released in August this year.

The upcoming album was recorded in March 2019 across Russia, the UK and Canada in several studios: Mosfilm in Moscow; Lendoc and Red Wave in St Petersburg; Noatune in London; The Studio at Sunbeams, Penrith; and Union Sound Company in Toronto. With engineering and mastering handled by Vlad Avy. The album features the track Blue Sea which featured in demo form on the band’s studio film Ocean Sounds.

The Bell makes use of 19th Century song cycles, a style established by Schubert, that cohesively tells 10 individual stories. Vocalist Marjana Semkina explains in more detail, “The Bell is divided into two parts but each song is a story in its own right, all of them are fuelled by human cruelty and pain caused by it. Cruelty is the central theme of the album – together with all the different ways we respond to it and cope with it. This album is multi-layered and is, in many ways, a journey inwards, taking us inside of a mind of a person suffering from abuse or neglect or open hostility of the society or a specific person. Aesthetically, the album is based on themes taken from Victorian England’s art and culture, but more in a way of turning our attention to the fact that at its core, humankind isn’t making much progress in terms of emotional maturity.”
