The Black Atlantic re-releases debut album

The Black Atlantic presents the digital re-release of their debut album ‘Reverence for Fallen Trees’ tonight during the afterparty of the VPRO Nederpopshow in Club Trouw. There are still a couple of tickets available at 3voor12.nl so be quick and get yours asap (they’re free).

Last couple of months we’ve worked our little asses off to get this thing together, but it came out sweet as hell. With a code from a special download card you can get access to this digital re-release containing both the album plus a video registration and a live EP. Can you say: Ooh, lala!

Frontman Geert van der Velde comments on re-releasing the album digitally:

“We’ve noticed that listeners are very grateful for the free mp3-version of our album. But in the end mp3s are compressed files and as an artist I’d like everyone to hear our music in the best quality available. On the other hand, not everybody wants physical products such as a CD or vinyl anymore. We made this re-release for those fans that want to purchase something special from us without buying a physical product.”

Yeah, that Geert is one wise cracker. Because we like you all so much we’re selling these cards for only 5 euro’s. Plus, you’ll get one for free when you buy the cd or vinyl at our shop. Not convinced yet? Check out one of the videos here!

PEACE!

Video: The Black Atlantic rockin’ it live

One of the perks of touring practically non-stop for half a year is that you learn to deliver a solid live show. And man, does The Black Atlantic deliver!

Last december we put them in our second home a.k.a New Ground Studio to record their live set. In the end we used 5 songs which will be part of a digital re-release of the album later this year. For now, let us whet your whistle with this beauty of a song called ‘Heirloom’.

looking back at: Castanets

Check out the vid we made of Castanets performing the astonishingly beautiful track ‘Sway’ at the Vette Analoge Shit, 02-10-2009, studio dB’s. And boy, the look that girl is giving at 1:50 is enough to make a man go insane. Good stuff.

Oh, and yeah. Safe to embed (CC BY-NC-SA baby).
