RHYS MARSH and the AUTUMN GHOST Streaming New Album on Spinner.com  

The Blue Hour Available September 25th in North America via Termo Records  
Tomorrow RHYS MARSH AND THE AUTUMN GHOST return with their third full-length record, The Blue Hour, in which MARSH
leads them into another bold sonic-territory.  In conjunction with the
album's release, Spinner.com is giving fans a chance to listen to The Blue Hour in its entirety as part of their Full Album Listening Party Series.  Get a first listen to the album HERE and pick up a copy of the record HERE.

A video for the first single from The Blue Hour "Read the Cards".  which was shot in Trondheim, Norway is available for viewing exclusively HERE.

The trademark combination of dynamics & melancholy remains,
though this time the strings & Mellotrons have stepped aside for
brass & woodwind ensembles. There is also a noticeable change in the
vocal presentation - the thickly-layered harmonies have now been
stripped back to a more monophonic point of focus. All of these elements
come together beautifully, giving the album an incredibly warm &
intimate atmosphere.

From the outset - the hypnotic rhythms & longing woodwind
arrangement of "And I Wait" which slowly unfurls over seven minutes,
after which heading straight into the sixties-tinged "Read The Cards",
with its heavily-staccatoed horn section & old-school double drums -
it's clear that MARSH is pushing further forward.

For The Blue Hour, MARSH has once again assembled a new AUTUMN GHOST,
this time featuring the cream of the crop of the contemporary Norwegian
music scene. In fact, this is the first album on which MARSH has chosen to feature an entirely Norwegian line-up, borrowing from bands such as Jaga Jazzist, The National Bank, Emmerhoff And The Melancholy Babies & Pelbo, along with collaborators of Susanne Sundf�r, Kaizers Orchestra & Magnet. This also marks the first occasion that an AUTUMN GHOST album has been written & recorded entirely in Norway.

Recently a teaser video for The Blue Hour
which features a glimpse into the recording process of the album, which
was recorded in Trondheim, Oslo and Bergen Norway, was released and can
be viewed HERE.

The Blue Hour Tracklisting:
1)    And I Wait
2)    Read the Cards
3)    The Movements of Our Last Farewell
4)    Broken Light
5)    Wooden Heart
6)    Further From the Truth
7)    The Place Where You Lay
8)    One More Moment
