13th May 2013 We'd like to thank from the bottom of our hearts, all the artists who took part to the tribute album to TFA "RIDING THE CREST OF THE FROZEN WAVE" out now on Calembour Records (www.calembourrecords.com/news.htm). Words can't describe the deep emotions we feel while listening to their wonderful cover versions of our songs: we really couldn't ask for any better to celebrate our 20th anniversary and we're sure you're going to like them as much as we do. Thus, a thousand thanks to (in alphabetical order): Femina Faber, Go Flamingo!, Hidden Place, Lisfrank, Nabla Operator, NG, Patenbrigade:Wolff, Plastique Noir, Winter Severity Index, 'cause they all did a GREAT job! Calembour Records proudly announces the forthcoming release of"RIDING THE CREST OF THE FROZEN WAVE. A TRIBUTE TO THE FROZEN AUTUMN", a limited edition digisleeve CD, second step to celebrate our 20th anniversary!!!Scheduled date of issue: 13th May 2013. More info at: www.calembourrecords.com/news.htm 11/03/2013 CALEMBOUR RECORDS presents the re-printing of THE FROZEN AUTUMN's second to last full-length "IS ANYBODY THERE?". Originally released in 2005, this is probably TFA's most introspective album: an evanescent cathedral built with seemingly endless, unpredictable synthetic layers.  The question expressed in the title also refers to the possible existence of extra-terrestrian intelligent life, still this is just one of the interpretation keys of the album's underlying inspiration topics. The idea of parallel dimensions leading to other possible worlds and potentially different lives here generates visions of algid beauty, deep melancholy and ravishing poetry. "Is Anybody There?" reveals to each listening new precious facets, unfolding layer by layer, and it's meant to be repeatedly savoured to fully enjoy all of its somptuous essence. This edition comes with three bonus tracks, i.e. rare versions of "Citywards" and the very well-known "Polar Plateau" as well as a lyrics booklet with re-styled graphics. This is real crystal-clear ice-cold electro-wave that will catch you and never let you go! Title: Is Anybody There?

"CHIRALITY" OUT NOW IN EUROPE FOR CALEMBOUR RECORDS! Here below the way it has been announced: "After six years since their latest, excellent full-length "Is Anybody There?", the electro cold-wave standard-bearers THE FROZEN AUTUMN are back with the long-awaited  new album "CHIRALITY".Partially disclosed about one year ago by their acclaimed, collectible 10" "Rallentears", "CHIRALITY" is a pure frozen-wave (as the band loves defining its own music) style work: a breath of freezing air, uniquely beautiful, original soundscapes  following one another, a pathway snaking in absolutely involving, unexpected ways . The word "CHIRALITY" describes the property of  specularity in chemistry,which entails a dramatic diversity in substance, though: this is the metaphorical kernel around which THE FROZEN AUTUMN, by means of ten songs, condensed the topic of deceiving appeareances, the double's false identity, apparent complementarities, the discovery of unsuspected incompatibilities that, referred to human relations, also leads to an introspective view aimed to the quest for a basis of truth, bringing along the crowningachievement of a new, gradual self- and world-outside consciousness. Diego Merletto's warm timbre and Froxeanne's unique voice alternate on close, electronic weaves, entwined to - sometimes algid and crystal-clear,sometimes deeper and sumptuos - warps that will wrap you up in whirls of solar wind, in golden, rarified fog where to spot deforming mirrors, in electric storms loaded with sonic premonitions, or in pure dynamism and punchy rhythms that will dig inside you, till the unison with your hearts is reached. You won't be insensitive to the kaleidoscope-like melodies succession and you won't stay emotionless tothese enjoably unreal atmospheres: this album will get you an immediate, healthy addiction and will run in loop in your players for an incredibly long time!! Not to miss!!!" "CHIRALITY" is available at www.calembourrecords.com mailorder (for EU buyers only) and worldwide through Audioglobe (www.audioglobe.it), lots of other mailorders and shops.
