Dead Bouquet announce the release of their debut album As Far As I Know, produced by Paul Kimble (Grant Lee Buffalo), which has officially come out on the 27th of October by the Italian label Seahorse Recordings. After all, Autumn is a key season for this collection of songs. Beyond having recorded, mixed and being the artistic producer of the album, Paul Kimble has also been the extraordinary session man, coloring many tracks with his multi-instrumental abilities. Fantastic has also been the collaboration with legendaryJoe Gastwirt, mastering engineer that has worked with Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, Tom Petty, besides being famous for his re-mastering of historical albums by Jimi Hendrix, The Beach Boys and so on... "Knowing that your album has passed through the same mixing board as Time's Out of Mind by Dylan, or Fuzzy and Mighty Joe Moon by Grant Lee Buffalo gives you the shivers, especially if the owner of that mixing board has become a fan of yours." says the Italian band, adding: "We are grateful for having had the possibility to work with these two huge world wide talents. As for us, in this album we put all ourselves, not only melodies and signatures. We thank Fabio De Angelis for the wonderful support at the drums during the session of As Far As I Know, an album that largely represents our life, past and present".The album has been launched by Dead Bouquet's first single, Nobody's Sky, whose videoclip can be seen below:

Dead Bouquet
Dead Bouquet is a rock trio from Italy that expresses mystical and nocturne atmospheres through moors of eclectic psychedelia, sealed by distortions from a twelve string acoustic guitar and characterized by folk, Celtic and boundary sonorities, hanging in balance between light and darkness. They have been playing together since summer of 2012, performing in some of the most relevant clubs in Rome and surroundings, furthermore participating toLazioWave festival at Isola Tiberina. They immediately decided to register their debut album,As Far As I Know, with the contribution of Paul Kimble, formal bass player from Grant Lee Buffalo, in the role of producer and additional musician.
