'More There is' by As The Story Unfolds

Tomorrow sees the release of ‘ More There Is’ by As The Story Unfolds. 

I’ve been thinking of in which genre to place the music but there isn’t an obvious answer.

This doesn't sound quite like anything else.


What the listener hears is exciting music full of textures,

arty pop playing with sound.


There is a lot of guitar on this album, which is unsurprising as the music is by Edwin de Herder.


I have been a big fan of Edwin’s since I first heard him play what is probably my favourite studio recorded electric guitar solo, years ago.


On his new album he has constructed 10 song soundscapes around the enthralling voice and words of Sylvia van Bragt and produced something exhilaratingly innovative.


‘Haunted’ is the perfect opening track (and single}.My next favourite track is the dreamlike ‘Reverie. ’All the tracks on this album are very very good and if you like to be excited about music you should hear this record.
