The Indifferent Stars

by Haven of Echoes

supported by

Nickie Harte Kelly This is comprised of former Frequency Drift’s Andreas Hack and guest Nerissa Schwarz, with Spires’ Paul Sadler and Wolfgang Osterman. Guitars, keys, drums and electric harp are the instruments in this otherworldly sounding outfit. There is a dark sound here, at once introspective and plaintive, bound together with soaring, evocative vocals. Superb progressive, cinematic rock with stellar players. Favorite track: Sirensong.

kadees Progressive-Rock aller feinster Sahne!

> Favorite track: The Lord Giveth....

hpantazo Astounding record! Fans of Frequency Drift will be ecstatic. The returning core bring everything I love about Frequency Drift, and the talents of Paul Sadler take this to a whole new level! The layered vocals and goth/folk tinged multi-instrumentation are amazing. Let Them In is a tour de force. It has everything I love from this group and Frequency Drift, it's one of the best tracks from any Andreas Hack led record. Prog music at its finest. I can't wait to see more from this artistic team! Favorite track: Let Them In.

about

Haven of Echoes is a new project by critically acclaimed musicians Paul Sadler (Spires) and Andreas Hack (Frequency Drift) that puts sophisticated songwriting, thoughtful lyrics and emotional vocal performance to the fore.
Best known as vocalist, guitarist and songwriter for celebrated UK based progressive metal act Spires, Paul possesses a haunting voice that ranges from silky smooth to harsh and anguished. His talent for inventive melodies and layered vocal composition takes centre stage throughout this exciting new project.
Andreas Hack is a musician from Germany whose former band Frequency Drift earned an international fan base with concerts all over Europe and released eight albums worldwide, which were enthusiastically received by fans and the press alike.
The debut album “The Indifferent Stars” is the engaging result of this collaboration. Difficult to categorise, it is at once progressive yet accessible, familiar yet forward-thinking. An album that takes the listener on a self-reflective journey, exploring the simultaneously connected yet increasingly isolated world we inhabit.
As guest musician, Andreas’ former bandmate, electric harpist and composer Nerissa Schwarz enriches the music with a wide range of sounds, from eerie ambient soundscapes to energetic outbursts. She also wrote the music to the dark and brooding “The Lord Giveth...”. Electric guitars, acoustic stringed instruments, analogue synthesizers, digital sound generators and dynamic drums add further dazzling tones to the music.
A wide array of percussive instruments is also used to create another exciting layer that gives the songs a driving and exciting edge.
All these elements are combined in a unique cinematic, gothic and truly progressive album that despite all its musical complexities is at its heart a collection of interesting and relatable stories that will fascinate and thrill the listener.

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

supported by 39 fans who also own “The Indifferent Stars”

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh

I am not new to Galahad but have lost touch with them after Beyond The Realms of Euphoria album,which still is my favorite release. But this release is just as good if not better. Galahad is one of the top prog acts around. A pleasure to add this to my musical collection. lloydd

Second album et album de l'année ! de l'excellent Rock Progressif revisité avec de nouveaux sons, cuivre, jazzy, pop, comme on aimerait en écouter plus souvent... après l'excellent single "Place your bets" difficile de choisir un seul titre, alors je choisis les 7 titres que constituent ce nouvel album, mes préférées sont "Wandering Cloud", "57th Street" et "Vertigo"... Esthesis c'est l'avenir du Rock Progressif en France et au delà de nos frontières.... Mille mercis à vous 4 ! ERIC PROG
