The band's new album "The ghost you left behind" comes out April 2 via UK-based label Club AC30. In other news, check out the ridiculous, intentionally cheesy ItaloDisco remix they did for friends Hotel Motel: http://www.myspace.com/hotelmotel
The overdubbed guitar riff on the second verse made me LOL.

Hearts of Black Science new record is finished and mastered and you can hear a few tracks now at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/heartsofblackscience
Good stuff - really looking forward to hearing the finished product.

Hearts of Black Science report that their debut album "The ghost you left behind" is mixed and ready for mastering: http://blog.myspace.com/heartsofblackscience
Look for the first single "Empty city lights" around February/March with the full-length to follow in April.

UK-based label and promoters Club AC30 have signed Sweden's Hearts of Black Science (see my post on them here). They will first release a single with the song "Empty city lights" early next year to be followed by a full-length album shortly thereafter.

Swedish act Hearts of Black Science (as posted about here) have posted a new demo track on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/heartsofblackscience
A little less like Depeche Mode, a little more Eskju Divine.

MP3: Hearts of Black Science - Revolvers

Does the world really need more 80s revival acts? If they sound as much like Depeche Mode as Hearts of Black Science do, I'm okay with it. As I'm sure you know by now, I like music that's dark and dramatic so HoBS definitely fit the bill, especially with tracks like the one I've posted today. "Empty city lights" (available here) is the more obvious single, but I find the brooding "Revolvers" to be much more satisfying. A bit of slide guitar and a crackly, almost trip-hop beat and a ton of reverb - what more do you need? Oh yeah: an epic, soaring melody. Sure it's retro - just listen to those chimes, but it doesn't come across as self-conscious, at least not to me. Unsigned for now, but you know that won't last. And whaddya know? They're playing Club AC30 in London with Audrey, the same night that the UK IAT DJs are making a guest appearance. Synchronicity!
