AGUA DE ANNIQUE have issued a new video clip, which features footage from the studio, and the band's new track, 'Hey Okay!' Check it out below.

Agua De Annique/ex-THE GATHERING vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen recently issued the following:

"I hope you've had a great summer. We certainly did, that's for sure!

Recording our new album in our brand new self-built recording studio was, besides lots of hard work, just a sheer blessing and the end result is to my absolute satisfaction. It's crystal clear, positive, alternative pop rock music with, of course, some melancholy.

My three band-mates were in top form! I played a beautiful old piano on two songs. Rob played additional keyboards. We have one guest on this record: Twan van Gerven, who is mainly known from his great guitar playing for Dutch band BEEF.

I wrote all songs except two. The song 'Just Fine' was co-written with DEVIN TOWNSEND and 'Adore' was written by our bass player Jacques, together with our dear friend Cyril Crutz.

The album, In Your Room, contains a total of 12 songs and will be released October 30th. The first single, 'Hey Okay!', on October 6th. I will keep you posted on all of this.

The album was mastered last Monday. This week, I find myself in a sort of a vacuum between the albums deadline (yesterday) and the whirlwind of promoting my newborn, which is about to start very soon. So I sleep as much as I can and I'm trying to catch up with all domestic duties. I'm afraid, in my case, this will mean hiring a new housekeeper

The pre-sales for the first shows have already started and we are totally looking forward to play again after the studio period. We will of course perform lots of new songs and spoil your ears with recent classics from my two previous albums. Do come and see us, this will be the only Dutch shows till the end of 2009!
