Skyphone - Avellaneda - Rock - CD

This is the second full-length release by Danish trio Sky phone for the Rune Grammofon label. With Avellaneda, they have further developed these ideas into a seamless blend of Acoustic and Electronic elements, rich in detail and sonic refinement, with the occasional touch of Scandinavian Folk music providing a strong melodic base. The album title refers to Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda (a pseudonym) who wrote an unauthorized follow-up to Miguel de Cervantes' classic Don Quixote in 1614. The band haven't decided to what extent the amusing myths surrounding these books are relevant to the album. Thomas Holst plays bass and is responsible for the darker and sometimes moody atmospheres of Sky phone. He is in charge of their vast archive of field recordings. Keld Dam Schmidt is the major tunesmith of the group.
