Search - Gnac :: Arrival of the Fog

LTM is proud to announce the release of the fifth (brand new) studio album from GNAC, the sophisticated instrumental project from Mark Tranmer. (The name is pronounced knee-ak, as in the last syllable of cognac.) The Arrival of the Fog follows acclaimed predecessors Sevens (1999), Biscuit Barrel Fashion (2001) and Twelve Sidelong Glances (2006). Biscuit Barrel Fashion was released on the Poptones label, and declared album of the month by Russian Playboy magazine. Twelve Sidelong Glances was variously praised by the international press as ''brilliantly melodic'' and ''a collection of pop vignettes of overwhelming beauty that draw on minimalism, nouvelle vague soundtracks and intimate and ethereal English pop. Intensely romantic and lighter than air.'' The Arrival of the Fog centres on ten new instrumental pieces recorded in Tokyo , Osaka , Wollongong and Hebden Bridge between October 2006 and May 2007. The moods vary from Barry to Roubaix , Reilly to Delerue. Stand-out tracks include the opening title track, 'Nautical Episodes' and 'What To Make of Jagged Graphs'. The 70 minute CD also includes two extended bonus tracks, 'Bright Days In Winter' and 'Winter Blanket'.
