Single Release: ‘Turning Time’
16th May 2011
#
Rhys Marsh And The Autumn Ghost return, after an eighteen-month hiatus, with the single ‘Turning Time’, which sees them heading into a new sonic territory — combining a wall of voices, a brass band & orchestral percussion with a strict, Zen-like minimalism. Certainly a hint of things to come on their third album, which will be released later this year.
For 2011, Marsh has once again assembled a new Autumn Ghost, featuring the cream of the contemporary Norwegian music scene. In fact, it’s the first time that Marsh has chosen an entirely Norwegian line-up, borrowing musicians from Jaga Jazzist, The National Bank, Emmerhoff And The Melancholy Babies & PELbO, along with collaborators of Susanne Sundfør, Kaizers Orchestra, Thom Hell, Enslaved & Magnet.
‘Turning Time’ is released today & is available from iTunes & Amazon.

When Mary Comes Around
5th March 2011

I’ve just spent three days in the studio with Trude Eidtang, the former singer of White Willow. We worked on two new songs for a forthcoming Autumn Ghost release, one song for my covers EP, and two songs (including one that I wrote) for Trude’s solo project, When Mary Comes Around. It went so great that we’ll be working on more songs over the coming months. Take a listen to a couple of Trude’s other songs right here.

Album Release: ‘Dulcima’
5th October 2009
#
‘Dulcima’, the second album from Rhys Marsh And The Autumn Ghost, is released today!
“The year’s autumn soundtrack.”
Natt&Dag
“Askew and magnificent.”
Panorama
“Nothing short of spectacular.”
The Big Takeover
“’Dulcima’ is full-tilt, intense modern progressive rock that will appeal as much to fans of Muse and The Mars Volta as to fans of David Sylvian and King Crimson.
It’s a mixture of classic sounds — mellotrons, analogue synths and fat guitars abound — and a modern sensibility, with an in-your-face production and ultra-precise playing. The songs are rich in contrasts and dynamics, changing on a dime from serene and meditative to loud and menacing.”
