The second track to make it’s way online from Edinburgh based North Atlantic Oscillation’s new record and the lead single from the record, the dreamy psych of ‘Soft Coda’, can be heard along with a hypnotic accompanying video which you can watch below. ‘Soft Coda’ comes out next week, preceding the band’s moody, complex and diverse second record ‘Fog Electric’, which is released on April 30th through Kscope. They will also be playing a special album launch show at The Tabernacle Church in London’s Notting Hill on Wednesday 2nd May.
‘Fog Electric’ was recorded & co-produced by Tony Doogan (Super Furry Animals, Mogwai, Teenage Fanclub, Belle & Sebastian) and is the follow-up to Grappling Hooks, NAO‘s highly acclaimed debut, which was released in 2010.
“It’s an album about doubt and loss, but there’s a counterbalancing sense of resignation and even optimism too.” explains singer Sam Healy. “One of the main themes is that of searching for meaning in a scientific, post-religious world. Science is absolutely a force for good, but after it showed us that the physical world is all there is, and that far from stripping experiences of their mystery this revelation actually makes them more mysterious, it sort of left us to our own devices in terms of producing the unscripted, improvised drama that is life-minus-god.”
NAO will be performing songs from ‘Fog Electric’ at a one-off show at The Tabernacle in London’s Notting Hill on Wednesday 2nd May. (TICKETS)
