Weather Systems have announced a global release date of September 27, 2024 for their anticipated debut album titled “Ocean Without A Shore,” via Music Theories Recordings. The new band from former Anathema mastermind and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Cavanagh and former Anathema drummer and producer Daniel Cardoso.
Music allows us to channel emotions, thoughts, and truths too transcendent for mere conversation. In essence, it breaks down barriers and enables discourse on a higher plane. Daniel Cavanagh has always communicated via his music. Throughout three decades as co-founder, lead guitarist, and songwriter for Anathema, he struck a chord with generations of fans, delivering globally acclaimed albums and selling out hallowed venues. Now at the helm of Weather Systems, he brings audiences closer than ever by not only picking up where he left off, but also confidently taking the next step on his creative journey with the band’s 2024 full-length debut.
In 2019, Daniel immersed himself in writing what he believed would be the next Anathema offering. Two years prior, the long-running UK-bred group reached numerous critical and commercial milestones with its final LP, “The Optimist.” It took home “Album of the Year” at the Progressive Music Awards, marked their second Top 40 entry on the UK Albums Chart and capped off 2017 on year-end lists from AXS, Classic Rock, Metal Hammer and The Independent, to name a few. In the studio, he hit his creative stride with a myriad of elegantly heavy and enigmatically entrancing material. However, 2020 saw the band agree upon an indefinite hiatus. As such, the majority of “Ocean Without A Shore” originated during those Anathema sessions.
Daniel finished the music joined by some familiar faces. Once again, he reteamed with “The Optimist” producer Tony Doogan [Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian]. Alongside Anathema drummer Daniel Cardoso behind the kit and as Live Musical Director and Cavanagh’s performances on vocals, piano, electric piano, keyboards, vocoder, electric and acoustic guitars, bass and programming, the album features vocals from Soraia, Petter Carlsen, Oliwia Krettek and Paul Kearns.
Like everything Daniel has done up to this point, the sound of Weather Systems has the power to connect. “Anathema never really had ‘casual fans’,” he leaves off. “The music was so intense and emotional, and people were affected by it on a deep level. I really respect that, and I just try to write music that will resonate in the hearts and souls of listeners. I hope it heals.”
