Vallis Lupi label is very pleased to announce, via the attached press statement, the release of the new album of Enneade band, “Withered Flowers and Cinnamon” due out on April 29, 2022. Stream the first teaser through the YouTube player below:
Since the album “Teardrops in Morning Dew” was released in 2011, enneade have never stopped performing on stage and composing. The various line-up changes have made it possible to mature, refne and improve the pieces presented today on “Withered Flowers and Cinnamon.” Mellotron and analogic synthesizers now take up a more important place than in the previous albums that were more Rock even Progressive Metal oriented. Here, Enneade redefine their multple infuences. The predominant hues are, of course, associated with King Crimson or Genesis, and more generally speaking with infuental bands from the ’70s. Nevertheless, the band indulges in fantasy. Although the music appears rich and complex from the frst listen (which was already the case for the two previous albums), enneade now seems more
accessible and ethereal.
The musical producton and the recording of the album were provided by Thibault Bernard (Convulsound Productons). Thibault has extensive live and studio experience of recording and producing music. He also contributed to the arrangements. With their album “Withered Flowers and Cinnamon,” Enneade are undoubtedly coming of age as more experienced, stll as energetc, inspired and sensitve.
