Today, March 10, Dutch britpop band Anemone releases their new album Freebird. Yesterday they celebrated this one with a release party at V11 in Rotterdam.

After years of criss-crossing the country with their debut album Silver Star, Anemone digs a layer deeper with the brand new record Freebird. An album full of psychedelic Britpop with a taste of shimmering folk. On which musical waves crash over each other in extended songs and pointy pop songs that tell about friendships, relationships and trust.

In the Schenk Studio in Amsterdam, Anemone takes this new path, the place where artists such as zZz, Nouveau Vélo, Lewsberg and Amber Arcades preceded the band. Now it’s time to share this new work with the rest of the world. They started sharing in Rotterdam, the home port of the band, with the release party at V11.

From now on Born Into The Waves by And Also The Trees is available in our shop. It is the 13th studio album from the influential cult British band. Inspired by the band’s recent concerts in previously unvisited countries – Ukraine, Romania, Lithuania and Japan – Born Into The Waves evolves from four pieces composed by guitarist Justin Jones on the theme of love songs from around the world. Following the recent success of acclaimed albums Hunter not the Hunted and (Listen For) The Rag And Bone Man, this album encompasses a new spirit of optimism and liberation in the lyrics of vocalist Simon Huw Jones.

The mini-album has six songs. So far “There’s A Darkness” has received the most streams of all the songs from that album. So, that is now rewarded with a stylish clip. “Several Perceptions”, the first single from A View From The Next Room, already got a clip before.

The theme ‘darkness’ is clearly included in the video. But it has also a cool and relaxed atmosphere in it. The footage in the videoclip is composed of short videos on their tour in Norway, Dublin’s Olympia, The Stables Mullingar and some additional footage from Transmission Rooms Studio in Drumlish.

The band has received a lot of praise before. Johnny Depp, for example, is very fond of the Irish. Nick Cave also had only positive words: “You sound like me, but in tune.”
