Sand Dalston Shroud CD

Third album of post-punk/art-rock from Sand to be released on Soul Jazz Records. Influenced by the New York Art/Punk scene of Sonic Youth, the Swans, Liquid Liquid, this is the group's follow up to "Still Born Alive" (Soul Jazz Records, 2003) and 'Beautiful People are Evil' (Soul Jazz Records, 2001). This new album brings in a number of guest vocalists - Norwegian experimentalist artist/singer Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje as well as Austrian cabaret singer Louie Austen (Kitty Yo Records) who provides a chilling vocal on the Patrick Pulsinger produced "Doctor Crop". Sand have performed onstage accompanied by cows and sheep for the Japanese Ballet troupe Karas. They have also performed at the Vienna Opera House alongside techno guru Patrick Pulsinger. In 2005 they composed and performed a new soundtrack to the Tarkovsky film "Stalker" at the ICA as well as toured cinemas with a series of specially commissioned work from video artists. This new album was recorded in Paris, Tokyo, Vienna and York in 2006.
