Eh, this was okay. Not salivating over it to the same extent as everyone else though, sadly.

Just got the new album Fragments and I'm really liking it.

 Its elegantly beautifully and I think I even like it better then Finest hour.

I like it more than the first album as well.

The new album is excellent. Anyone who likes the band, I recommend checking it out.

Its called Alium and it came out last week.

This band is on fire. 3 albums and 1 EP, and all are really good. The new one doesn't top Fragments for me, but it is another strong effort.

Fragments is probably actually my least favourite, but agreed that all 4 albums are amazing. They've become one of my absolute favourite bands - I haven't heard any other downtempo/electronic groups that have nearly the same warmth and atmosphere in their music. Alium is another great addition!

Went to their London gig a few weeks ago, but was hugely disappointed by the sound. I think it's entirely the venue rather than the band (a friend of mine went to another gig the week after and had the exact same thing) but it was just so loud it made us feel ill. First song or two the bass was overpowering and distorting everything, so the sound guys seemed to balance it out by turning everything else up, which just made it sound and feel horrible. We had to leave after about half an hour. It was such a shame as they create such wonderful music, but they were massively let down.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.
I be am boner inducing.

Tomorrow the new Submotion Orchestra album comes out tomorrow. Color theory



I don't know how much Ruby wood is involved with the album, as there are a lot of guest vocalists. Hopefully I am wrong. I will know for sure tomorrow.

I quite like Finest Hour, so I hope the new one is as good at least  :smiley:

It's a great album. Ruby sings on maybe half the tracks? Or maybe it just felt like it, but her presence is there through the album despite guests.

Overall I love the band and would probably rank their albums:

Finest Hour
Fragments
(1968)
Colour Theory
Alium
(EP III)

Very tough choice between the first two. Fragments has my favorite Submo song (Thousand Yard Stare) but Finest Hour was such a great debut and is probably the one that has grown on me the most.

Oh good. I'm glad she is on there. I haven't heard anything besides what was available to preview so far.

Haven't fully heard the new one yet, but as far as my ranking goes:

1. Alium- I am madly in love with this album
2. (1968) (Hard to stay is amazing)

3. Tie between  Finest hour and fragments

4. (EP III)
