Dutch Prog quintet Lesoir have announced that they will release their brand new studio album, “Push Back The Horizon,” through V2 Records on September 20, 2024.
The band have shared the official video for the title-track, watch it through the Youtube player below:
Recorded at several shows during their last tour with Riverside.
Production by MABI.
The ten-track album has been composed by the bands guitarist Ingo Dassen, and lyrics and vocal lines written by singer and multi-instrumentalist Maartje Meessen.
“Push Back The Horizon is about people,” the band explain. “About human relationships and about human situations,” the band explain. “We are not in control of everything, and increasingly lose control because of secondary factors but also because of our own actions. That fact does strange things to us. Yet we keep running past ourselves, not realising that we are collectively at a tipping point.
Push Back The Horizon is a snapshot from a random life, composed of stories in which everyone who dares to stand still from time to time will recognise themselves. Besides survival, it is mainly about life. About what people can do. About thoughtful situations, but also about spontaneous events that can unexpectedly give us a glimmer of hope. Or an answer. About family and brotherhood, near and far. About what we can do. Together. Not about ‘could or should we have done it earlier or better’, but about ‘please let’s try again’.“
“Push Back The Horizon” will be released on CD, LP (black vinyl), 2LP (Bloody Mary coloured vinyl with the epic “Babel” as bonus track) and digitally.
