CAINA Complete New Album, New MP3 Available, New Website Launched
July 14, 2008, 16 years ago
Eclectic UK phenomenon CAINA, comprised of sole mastermind Andrew Curtis Brignell, have completed work on the next anticipated full-length album for Profound Lore Records.
Entitled Temporary Antennae, the new album sees Brignell stretch his musical oeuvre to new unheard levels culminating in a maturity which presents more depth and substance to the unique sound he conjured by combining the likes of raw black metal, 4AD post-rock, and folk/singer-songwriter music. Building upon the promise that was evident with last year's Mourner release (a release which saw acclaim, enough to even land in the top 40 of Decibel magazine?s best-of 2007 at the number 20 spot), Temporary Antennae goes much beyond the foundation laid down by Mourner (and the Some People Fall debut respectively) in a musical and lyrical sense respectively.
In turn, Temporary Antennae, alongside easily being the best Caina album to date, is also the most intense and oppressive sounding Caina album, while at the same time being the most pop-oriented Caina album yet as new influences from '80s new-wave also make their way into the sound picture of Temporary Antennae alongside those that combine the traits of raw black metal and post-rock.
Tracklisting for Temporary Antennae goes as follows: 'Intro - Manuscript Found In Unmarked Grave, 1918', 'Ten Went Up River', 'Willows And Whippoorwills', 'Tobacco Beetle', 'Larval Door', 'And Ivy Wound Round Him', 'Them Golds And Brass', 'Petals And Bloodbowls', 'Temporary Antennae', 'None Shall Die'.
You can check out an exclusive MP3 of the track 'Willows And Whippoorwills' here.
Also Caina have launched a really cool new website. Go here to check it out and get a more personal look into the Caïna enigma. The new website has its foundations laid down and will be built upon as time progresses. Also look for some cool essays written by Brignell which will be included on the website respectively.
Look for Temporary Antennae to be officially released on September 30th.
