Kscope is pleased to announce Falling Deeper, the new, fully orchestral album from Anathema. The album will be released on 18th September. Falling Deeper continues where the acclaimed 2008 album Hindsight left off. The album features brand new arrangements of songs and haunting melodies from the band's earliest days as pioneers and co-creators of an entire genre of heavy music.
Falling Deeper is a mesmerising blend of the orchestral - majestic and at times ethereal - with beautiful vocal arrangements and Anathema's unique 'feedback' lead guitars, all centred around a grand piano and a huge rhythm section.
All the layers work together to convey the haunting internal landscapes Anathema have become renowned for.
This is an album which will excite old and new Anathema fans equally. A fresh musical and lyrical approach has transformed songs such as Crestfallen, Kingdom and Sunset Of Age. This record reveals how, even from the very start, Anathema wrote melodies which would always have a universal magic and emotional impact.
Another highlight of the album, Everwake, features the incredible voice of Anneke van Giersbergen and has brought a higher dimension to one of the band's earliest and simplest acoustic pieces.
The record has been produced by Daniel Cavanagh and was recorded and mixed by Andrea Wright at the legendary Parr St Studios, Liverpool (where the likes of Elbow, Coldplay and Echo and the Bunnymen have also recorded albums). The orchestral arrangements are from Dave Stewart who worked so successfully with Anathema on We're Here Because We're Here.
Falling Deeper, in the words of Daniel Cavanagh, is:
''a nod to our past and a look to our future all at the same time, with a sound that is designed to transport you to the heart of the present moment.''
