Album Update

On Tuesday the whole band made themselves very comfortable on the sofa of the Turan Audio mastering studio in Oxford whilst Tim Turan put the finishing touches to the debut Sanguine Hum album Diving Bell. The finished record clocks in at a tight 42mins and 55 seconds, and contains 8 tracks which are:

1. No More Than We Deserve (5:08)

2. The Ladder (3:56)

3. Dark Ages (4:42)

4. Coast of Nebraska (6:15)

5. The Trial (6:06)

6. Nothing Between Us (6:10)

7. Diving Bell (5:46)

8. There’s No Hum (4:50)

We’re now working away on the artwork but we’ll be posting some tasters of the album soon.

News Update

Sanguine Hum have been mentioned in the lastest edition of Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine in the review for the Winter’s End festival. Here’s what Jerry Ewing had to say about our early Sunday morning 50 min set: “openers Sanguine Hum are more than worth it. Prog (magazine) hasn’t heard of them before, but soon warm to their clever noodling. Vaguely reminiscent of Hatfield and the North, it’s not difficult to understand why Steve Davis rates them.” Thanks again to Ian “Eppy” Fairholm for arranging our slot at the festival, and hopefully this is the start of more national and international press coverage for the “new” band.

Meanwhile, the debut Sanguine Hum album is heading towards the final stages. The current working title for the record is Diving Bell (as mentioned on our interesting alternative show interview in March), and it will contain 8 tracks. Song titles include: Everything’s Going to Change, Dark Ages, Coast of Nebraska and Nothing Between Us as well as the title track. Look out for a new Myspace page for the band and some audio clips in the next few months.

Finally, apologies for the lack of updates in April and May….we have some gremlins in the system stopping us from adding content (such as photos form the Winter’s End gig), but we should have things back to normal soon. Thanks for listening!

Winter’s End Festival

Sanguine Hum, Stroud, March 14th 2010

A belated thanks to those of you who attended our hour long set at the Winter’s End festival back in March. We opened up proceedings on Day 2 of the festival in Stroud and it was great to see so many of you so early in the day who were treated to a selection of the old Nuns material plus a few new tracks including Diving Bell, a song from the forthcoming Sanguine Hum album. Lots of you were also snapping away on your cameras throughout the day (thanks to Neil Palfreyman for the above shot) and we’ll be adding a selection of photos to the media section over the next few days. The response to the band has been encouraging, with the Dutch Progressive Rock Page saying “their music was both engaging and interesting in approach and had the audience paying full attention”. The full review will be added to the reviews page.
