The Third Sound is the solo project of Icelandic singer-songwriter Hákon Aðalsteinsson, formerly of Singapore Sling and currently touring in Brian Jonestown Massacre. Now residing in Berlin with a fleshed-out live line-up, The Third Sound are gearing up for the release of their fourth album ‘All Tomorrow’s Shadows’, arriving via Fuzz Club Records on May 11th. To announce the album the band are sharing the video for ‘Nine Miles Below’, the first single to be taken from the album – dealing in insatiable post-punk noir, the new track see’s gloomy jangling guitars underpinned by Hakon’s crooning vocals.
Talking of the single, Hakon explains: “The jangly guitar pop of the Byrds in a darker context was an idea that came up in a discussion between band members years ago. When starting work on the new album and going through his demos Hákon found a song he had written that had a bit of a Byrds-like feel to it and got reminded of that idea. At first the band was not sure if it would fit in the context of the album since it has more upbeat feel than most of their songs, but after Robin added his jangly 12 string riff and Antonio added his slick Italian-style bass line everyone was convinced.”
Recorded by the band themselves over the harsh Berlin winter, the new record is their most refined yet – offering an expansive exploration into krautrock-tainted post-punk and dark 60s-esque psychedelia. Following on from their 2016 LP ‘Gospels of Degeneration’, the new album takes a much more sparse and rhythmic approach than we’ve seen before, combining hypnotic guitar drones, motorik rhythms and haunting vocals – the last track boasting a guest feature from Anton Newcombe, who released the band’s debut album on his own imprint A Recordings.
Since the release of their debut album back in 2011, in 2013 the band released their sophomore effort ‘The Third Sound of Destruction and Creation’ (2013) and ‘Gospels of Degeneration’ (2016), both of which were put out on Fuzz Club. In that time the band has shared the stage with the likes of BJM, The Warlocks, Singapore Sling, Crocodiles, Clinic and many, many more.
