Music News - 'No Man's Land': New album for Macombee & the Absolute Truth
05 December 2014 - 0 Comments
After 6 long years Macombee & The Absolute Truth have completed their album. No Man’s Land is finally here and it’s a masterpiece of epic proportions.
Cinematic arrangements wrap themselves around Sarah Macombee's exquisite voice drawing you into a world you want to visit again and again. Her strikingly original songs are equal parts movie, art, and fly on the wall.
Macombee’s world reveals itself a little more with each visit. Her stories are ones you realise you know intimately. If you haven't lived through the exact experience yourself you'll know someone who has. Through her uncompromising viewfinder, she lays out the pain and the beauty of what it is to be human.
Add to that the beautiful harmonies provided by her daughter Poppy, the production wizardry of Louis Bernstone and you have the ingredients of something rare and evocative.
We’ve heard before of the adversity bands face in order to make an album; the trials and tribulations, obstacles they’ve had to encounter… the emotional roller coaster. Few could claim the re emergence of a disease front woman Sarah Macombee thought she had cured. Or the tragic untimely death of their very talented producer Ben Stockwell followed by the death of Sarah’s Mother. We’ll get to the exploding double D’s later…
What’s important is that now these exquisite songs will be available for all to hear and enjoy.
No Man’s Land is due for release on December 5
th 2014 via Ellamy Records and available on
Amplifier,
iTunes and all good digital outlets.
Macombee & the Absolute Truth will be performing on Saturday December 13
that the Lopdell Theatre, Titirangi, Auckland. Tickets available
