White Willow thread v. New Album in the works

[GentlemanofDread]

We don't have one for this amazing band? Well, I think it's time for a change.

From their wikipedia page (Because it can surmise them better than I can):

"White Willow is a Norwegian art rock band, mixing elements of orchestral pop, 70's progressive rock, jazz-rock and even electronic elements. They have released 6 albums so far: 1995's Ignis Fatuus, which features symphonic folk rock in the vein of early King Crimson and Genesis as well as Mellow Candle; 1998's Ex Tenebris, which is minimalist prog/post-rock; 2000's Sacrament, a full-blown symphonic rock/pop release; 2004's Storm Season, the band's best-selling record to date, mixing darker, more guitar-heavy elements into their sound, and their fifth studio album, Signal to Noise, which was released in August 2006. Their new album Terminal Twilight was released on October 17, 2011."

So, anyone else a fan? Anyone else excited for the new album whenever it comes out? What's your favourite album/songs? Newcomers, you interested in finding more of their songs?

Terminal Twilight is an incredible album and I have been listening to it a lot over the past few months. I've had it since it was released, but it didn't really click for me until fairly recently. Got to check out their older stuff soon.

I also really love Jacob Holm-Lupo's other project The Opium Cartel. Their album Ardor is like a mix of 80s pop, progressive rock, and electronic (along with a cool cover of Blue Oyster Cult's Then Came The Last Days of May) and was one of my favorite 2013 releases.

their 1st record and Sacrament are both good records. Their others, I honestly never spent all that much time with. I wasn't crazy when their lead singer from Sacrament left though. She has a very pretty voice.

@Coldfire: The album for you after Terminal Twilight is probably Storm Season. I consider it to be their best album, especially the tracks "Sally Left" & "Nightside of Eden."

Opium Cartel is just as great to me as White Willow and people should  go check them out as well.

@Soundscape: Sylvia Erichsen and Trude Eidtang both follow the trend of amazing vocalists though, especially Sylvia. Something ethereal about Sylvia's performances on some songs.
