We Were Frontiers

Night Terrors

 are to return with the announcement of their debut EP Giveth Taketh Away.

The Leeds band have set their local scene ablaze since their success at the Futuresound competition. Having gained invitations to play the BBC Introducing stages at Reading and Leeds festivals, who labelled them simply ‘brilliant’, the band have gone on to play sold out shows and garner a loyal fanbase. The band’s distinct folk flavoured compositions, with discernible amounts of Ennio Morricone-esque melodies, have struck a chord with many industry figures. Capturing the attentions of renowned producer James Kenosha (Lone Wolf, Pulled Apart By Horses), the band were led to recording their double A-sideWildfire/Demons under his seasoned watch. The finished product received a great response and outlined the band as one to watch out for

 Even Tundra
 always wanted to make. Up until now he has hidden behind various guises (such as Younger Brother and the Zap ) and done much of his work with the Godfathers of Psychedelic Electronica - Si Posford and Raja Ram.

With Even Tundra the time came to remove the mask and avoid taking shelter in any particular scene or genre. He describes making the album as ' like making a folk record - just me, my sound lab and an emotion or atmosphere i wanted to hear - not a dance floor i wanted to fill.'

 Take A Look At The World feat. Annie (Original Version)

 collaboration “Take A Look At The World” over that solo single — and behold! Now it has a video.
There’s not much to see here — it’s mostly just Annie in the backseat of a car, looking like the chic Norwegian ice queen she is — but there’s a nicely hypnotic quality to the clip. It’s Annie taking a look at the world; it’s the viewer taking a look at Annie taking a look at the world. And the song is still great.
