February 22, 2016, 8 years ago
London-based progressive, psychedelic rockers, Messenger, recently signed to InsideOutMusic for the release of their forthcoming second album, Threnodies, due on April 22nd. Now the band reveal "Balearic Blue", the first track to be taken from the album, and the beautiful artwork which you can see below.
The band had this to say about the track: "We're very excited to present a preview track from our forthcoming album Threnodies as well as the cover artwork. The artwork and layout were created by Colombian, Berlin-based artist Daniel Correa Mejia. We were mesmerized by his paintings and decided that his work fits perfectly with our music. “Balearic Blue” is more along the lines of our previous release Illusory Blues, so expect something different for the next track. We're very much looking forward to performing some of these new songs on our forthcoming tour with the Von Hertzen Brothers and HRH Prog in March"
Messenger will be hitting the road in advance of the new album's release, with the band joining Finnish rockers Von Hertzen Brothers on their UK tour in March. They have also been confirmed for Hard Rock Hell Prog in March & Stone Free Festival at London's O2 Arena.
Messenger lineup:
Khaled Lowe: Guitars/Vocals
Jaime Gomez Arellano: Drums/Percussion
Barnaby Maddick: Guitars/Vocals
Dan Knight: Guitars/Keyboards
James Leach: Bass
Look out for more information on the album in the coming weeks.
