pieces including, To Forget. Since
its release, the haunting Americana of To
Forget has been winning over North American media outlets, and their
beautiful, melodic hymns have begun infiltrating many new audiences for the
band.
A WHISPER IN THE
NOISE Post-Tour Statement:
"We
have just returned from our European tour, which was in support of our newest
release on Mainstream Records, To Forget. In addition to playing the shows, we
explored several German castles, drove through the painfully gorgeous
countryside of the Czech Republic and Poland, drank fantastic Belgian beer, and
viewed Athens from the Acropolis...we took an English ferry past the white
cliffs of Dover, stayed in a magical 16th-century French cottage, traveled the
Alps next to Lake Geneva, and walked at midnight through the white night of St
Petersburg. Our wonderful hosts often gave us tours of their cities, taking us
to their favorite hidden spots, and entertaining us with stories of their local
music scenes.
In addition to the clubs, we played in a kitchen, a spacious attic, a garden, a former brewery, a wine cellar, a dance studio and two gorgeous cinemas. But above all, the greatest aspect of the tour was making music. We loved working together to connect the threads of our sound to the people in the audience. It was stunning to frequently feel a simultaneous peace and high energy with everyone, a sensation that is not easily forgotten.
We look toward the future, and will use the warm memories of this tour as fuel for our upcoming work. This entire tour stays in our hearts, and we count the days until we tour again." - A Whisper In The Noise
