ANEKDOTEN Prepares To Release Fifth Album

April 16, 2007

Swedish progressive rock band ANEKDOTEN — comprised of guitarist/vocalist Nicklas Barker, cellist Anna Sofi Dahlberg, bassist/vocalist Jan Erik Liljeström and drummer Peter Nordins — will release its fifth studio album, entitled "A Time of Day", on April 25 via the group's Virta label. A vinyl release is also in the works, but is slightly delayed.

"A Time of Day" was recorded at Rommarö Studios and Sisu Sound between November 2006 and March 2007 and was mixed at Studio Gröndal during February/March by Simon Nordberg and ANEKDOTEN.

"A Time of Day" track listing:

01. The Great Unknown
02. 30 Pieces
03. King Oblivion
04. A Sky About To Rain
05. Every Step I Take
06. Stardust And Sand
07. In For A Ride
08. Prince Of The Ocean

There will be a release party at Kägelbanan in Stockholm, on April 24. A few dates in Norway will follow in the beginning of May. The band will also play at the Sweden Rock Festival in June, an event that is headlined by AEROSMITH, HEAVEN AND HELL and SCORPIONS.

ANEKDOTEN is notable for the use of the mellotron and the heavy and trippy sound, dominated by a pounding bass guitar. Their music is associated with the tradition of 1970s progressive rock music, especially the one of KING CRIMSON, but they have also covered songs by VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR and MAGMA during their live performances.
