February 1, 2011, 13 years ago
Dutch vocalist ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN (ex-The GATHERING, AGUA DE ANNIQUE) is currently holed up at Ultrasound Studios in Braga, Portugal working on her fifth solo album with producer Daniel Cardoso. She has issued the following update:
"These past few days I've been working in the studio with Portuguese producer/musician Daniel Cardoso.Last October Daniel went to see ANATHEMA in Paris. He's also a friend of the band. I was a guest on that tour and we met after the show (small world: both of us have worked with ULVER's Kristoffer Rygg by the way). I spoke with him about my ideas for a new album and it turned out we shared a lot of the same views.
When I got home after that tour Daniel had sent me a demo without vocals. I totally loved it and it sounded a lot like the material I was already working on: upbeat rock, combined with electronic sounds and a touch of dark melancholy. That same night I wrote a vocal melody and lyrics to the song and within a week we were working together.
We've written and completed demos for about 5 songs already. I'm planning to release a single with a bit of extra material before the summer. I'm so excited for you guys to hear the new stuff!!! It will be a lot more multi-layered than most of my recent music. Yes, I'm ready to start a new chapter, stay tuned!"
Love,
Anneke XxX
