News: THE NIGHT WATCH: Epic Thirty-Six-Minute Track From Canadian Progressive Instrumentalists Featuring Members Of Musk Ox Playing At New Noise Magazine; Boundaries To See Release Tomorrow!

Boundaries is the sophomore full-length from Canadian progressive instrumental quartet THE NIGHT WATCH, featuring guitarist Nathanael Larochette and violinist Evan Runge of Musk Ox.

 

Two years in the making, the record is made up of a single thirty-six-minute piece of dynamic sound. Shifting seamlessly from intricate technicality to soaring atmospheres, crushing heaviness to delicate melancholy, this fluid composition never loses itself within the landscapes it explores. THE NIGHT WATCH tells stories through sound and Boundaries is a powerful exploration of just how emotional instrumental music can be.

 

Comments Larochette of the release, "After two years of hard work composing, arranging, and recording this beast, we are thrilled to finally share Boundaries with the world. Myself and my brothers in THE NIGHT WATCH really pushed ourselves to create a dynamic piece of instrumental music that is epic and enjoyable, intricate and intimate, progressive without pretension. I'm still amazed we were able to find our way through this labyrinth and couldn't be happier with the result. We are excited to share this album with the world and hope curious listeners will enjoy the journey..."

"What band would have the balls to release an epic like this as their second album?!? It took two years of hard work to create this masterpiece and it shows. This album/song is certainly not for the faint of heart but Boundaries shows what progressive music can be when musicians unite and let the music be their guide." - Progressive Music Planet
