International Progressive Rock band Nine Stones Close, with members from the UK, Ireland, Switzerland and the Netherlands, will release their second album of the year, “Adventures in Anhedonia,” on November 07, 2024 via FREIA Music. This new release follows “Diurnal,” which garnered critical acclaim upon its release in June.
“Adventures in Anhedonia” is a deeply personal album, lyrically reflecting on the mental health and well-being of individuals, based on the personal experiences and traumas of guitarist Adrian Jones. Adrian shares: “It really reflects what’s been happening to me over the past years, the effect it’s had on me, and how I have tried to deal with some of it.”
Musically, the album takes a distinct direction from “Diurnal,” capturing the emotional weight of the lyrical themes while still maintaining the signature Nine Stones Close sound.
The band has also revealed the album’s cover artwork, another stunning piece by long-time visual collaborator Antonios Seijas.
Lineup:
Adrian Jones / Guitar, Bass Guitar
Brendan Eyre / Keyboards
Adrian ‘Aio’ O’Shaughnessy / Vocals
