“SKYSHAPERS” TAKING SHAPE
The long silence is about to be broken. The band announced that they are working on a new album since autumn 2004. It will be called “SKYSHAPERS” and release is scheduled for September 2005. The recordings proceed simultaneously in Berlin and Helsingborg. As always Clas, Eskil & Joakim have new tricks and surprises up their sleeves. Stay tuned.

VNV Nation (I may already have mentioned this one...)

NEW ALBUM "MATTER AND FORM" : VNV Nation's fifth album will be released in Europe on April 4th and in North America on April 12th. This time Ronan worked alongside German producer Humate who co-produced, engineered and mixed the album. Getting the sound right on this album involved going back to using lots of vintage synthesizer equipment to achieve a warmer more organic sound. The album features many varieties of tone and sound, from the punch of tracks like "Chrome" and "Entropy" to more ethereal soulful sounds of "Endless Skies" and "Homeward" . It is certainly an evolution but still retains, and in some ways accentuates, the emotive soulful and humanist elements that people recognise in VNV Nation's music.
