AISLES announce new
studio album and release online documentary
The Chilean prog rock sextet returns with their new studio effort, "Hawaii", a two-disc concept album that will be available starting in July.
Chilean prog rockers Aisles have just announced the title and release date of "Hawaii", their highly anticipated fourth studio album. The LP will be released on July 29, 2016 via Presagio Records on CD and digitally, while the vinyl edition will be available in November.
"Hawaii" is a two-disc concept album about human colonies established in space after the destruction of the Earth. Its twelve tracks explore the dilemmas and challenges that the individual and the human spirit would face in this futuristic scenario. Regarding the theme and sound of the album, guitarist and producer Germán Vergara states: "Without a doubt it's our most profound work so far. With 'Hawaii' we dug deep in search of a concept that could really move us. Our objective was to write music that would emotionally and mentally take us to the place where the events in the album occur: Space".
"All the music on the album was written with our hearts and minds set on the idea of these human colonies, a small group of people who are able to preserve some of the heritage of mankind after the Earth is destroyed. Musically speaking we had never taken so many risks, tried so many different approaches and allowed ourselves this level of freedom to improvise and experiment. I am really proud of what we've achieved this time", Vergara adds.
Also, on their YouTube channel Aisles have just released the first of five episodes of an online documentary depicting the recording process of "Hawaii". Check it out below:
