For Immediate Release
Prog Duo Days Between Stations Release Limited Edition Vinyl Of Critically Acclaimed Album 'In Extremis'
Los
Angeles, CA - Much to the excitement of vinyl enthusiasts around the
globe, prog duo Days Between Stations have released their critically
acclaimed new album 'In Extremis' on a limited edition DBL LP!
Says
guitarist Sepand Samzadeh, “We put a great deal of emphasis on creating
a mood by way of sonic textures. The CD was mastered so that the
listener could CRANK THE VOLUME ON THE STEREO. If you really want to
hear THE COMPLEXITY OF ALL THE LAYERS AND SONIC TEXTURES, the vinyl
record is the way to go.”
Possibly
the most anticipated prog release of 2013, Days Between Stations
sophomore album 'In Extremis' was released on May 15, 2013. Boasting an
incredible guest line-up of music legends featuring Colin Moulding
(XTC), Rick Wakeman (YES), Peter Banks (YES/Flash) Tony Levin (King
Crimson/Peter Gabriel) and Billy Sherwood (YES/CIRCA:), Days Between
Stations reached a new level of creative artistry on their second
release.
Founded
in 2003 by guitarist Sepand Samzadeh and keyboardist Oscar Fuentes, the
duo named themselves after the cult novel by Steve Erickson and have
devoted themselves to, as they say, Art Rock and Post Prog - music that
reflects their varied influences, as well as shared disregard for
stylistic boundaries. This eclecticism continues apace on 'In Extremis'.
At times the music recalls Peter Gabriel or 'Duke'-era Genesis (as on
the propulsive “Visionary”, which features Sherwood's multi-layered
vocals and Levin's driving Stick bass work), or an ambient marriage
between Pink Floyd and Lisa Gerrard and Debussy (“In Utero”), or even a
cross between Ultravox and Marillion and 'Abacab'-era Genesis (the
Moulding-sung “The Man Who Dies Two Times”).
Here's what the press has raved about 'In Extremis'
“The fact
that Rick Wakeman, Tony Levin and Peter Banks help create this majestic
piece of symphonic prog only made this a stronger contender for prog
album of the year.” - Mark Johnson, Sea of Tranquility
“Indeed,
Days Between Stations nestles an artsy approach into its repertoire,
often contrasting the soloists' tenacious yet purposeful excursions, and
seeded by the leaders' wide-ranging agenda.” - Glenn Astarita, All
About Jazz
“But
the late Yes founder (Peter Banks) is just the beginning of the
dark-hued wonders to be found on this neo-prog triumph. Accessing an
endlessly fascinating palette that also takes in ambient and classically
inspired moments, Oscar Fuentes and Sepand Samzadeh brilliantly explore
themes of life, and death, and everything in between.” - Nick Deriso,
Something Else Reviews
“Here's
an album that deserves a place in everyone's record collection. The
superb artwork and quality of the booklet and packaging makes it a
must-buy as opposed to (legal) download, for me at least. Support truly
great musicians going out on a limb to bring you truly great, original
progressive rock music as good as some of the classics.” - Brian Watson,
DPRP
“Days
Between Stations have really matured into a first class symphonic prog
band with the music created on In Extremis. There are so many wonderful
moments where the music takes flight and goes in completely unexpected
directions. And that’s one of the things we’ve come to love about prog.
In Extremis fulfills all musical expectations in that sense.” - Jerry
