Info for Songs For Beating Hearts
Das Geheimnis ist schon seit einer Weile gelüftet: Nach fast neun Jahren Pause sind die schwedischen Prog-Rock-Legenden Beardfish zurück. „Songs For Beating Hearts“ ist die erste brandneue Musik von Beardfish seit neun Jahren, aber während sich die vielen magischen Momente entfalten, erscheint es, als wäre die Band nie weg gewesen. „Songs For Beating Hearts“ ist ein leuchtendes Zeugnis für die Magie, die entsteht, wenn sich diese vier Musiker zusammentun - mit starken Anklängen an vergangenen Ruhm, aber auch mit einer ganz neuen, wehmütigen Stimmung. Von der verträumten Melancholie des Eröffnungsstücks „Ecotone“ und der vertrackten Opulenz des fünfstimmigen „Out In The Open“ über den prog-freundlichen Pastoralismus des bittersüßen 11-Minuten-Epos „Beating Hearts“ bis hin zum ernüchternden Prog-Noir des abschließenden „Torrential Downpour“ haben Beardfish nicht nur ihr bisher stärkstes Werk geschaffen, sondern auch ihr emotionalstes. „Songs For Beating Hearts“ wird von Gedanken über Liebe, Verlust, Freundschaft und Endgültigkeit zusammengehalten und ist der Sound von vier Gleichgesinnten, die ihr Herz ausschütten. Ein triumphales Comeback, das niemand hat kommen sehen.

Beardfish
Ever since the debut album in 2003, Beardfish’ fan base has grown worldwide thanks to a constant flow of new album releases filled with high quality prog candy. Simultaneously, they have earned a reputation for their energetic and engaged live shows during their tours around the globe – often as festival headliners. Being one of his personal favorites, Mike Portnoy invited Beardfish to his prog cruise Progressive Nation at Sea 2014, to play with Transatlantic, The Flower Kings and Jon Anderson, among others.
With epic songs, concept albums and quick shifts in musical styles and moods, the Beardfish formula is undoubtedly based in progressive rock, but also in classic rock, aiming to simply write a good rock tune with plenty of strong melodies, groovy riffs and vintage keyboard sounds like Hammond organs, clavinets and ARP synths. The material and its’ production hints at many influences from the 70’ies, borrowing from Frank Zappa’s eclectic approach, King Crimson’s heaviness and Gentle Giant’s beautiful melodies.
In January 2015, their eighth album “+4626-COMFORTZONE” will be released on InsideOut. The Progressive Circus 2015 crowd will be among the first to hear the new material live and for this occasion, main composer/singer/keyboardist/guitarist Rikard Sjöblom is joined not only by his ordinary band mates David Zackrisson (guitars), Magnus Östgren (drums) and the spectacular Robert Hansen (bass), but also the extra member Martin Borgh on keyboards to guarantee a very special treatment for the PC15 audience!
This album contains no booklet.
