ATHENS, GREECE (Top40 Charts/ Inner Ear Records) Inner Ear proudly announces the release of the long awaited sophomore album of Electric Litany, entitled "Enduring Days You Will Overcome". Four years after their debut album "How to Be a Child and Win the War", London-based 4-piece band return with a unique album that was definitely worth waiting for.
"Enduring Days You Will Overcome" is the fruit of a difficult and stagnant era. However, confirming every word of its title, it's proof that the conscious perseverance of creation is the solution to overcome the problems and move forward. The album rises from the ashes of a lo-fi world, maintaining the lyricism and the characteristic "haunting" atmosphere of Electric Litany. Drawing inspiration from Beat poetry, new wave, Byzantine music and solid guitars that form a feeling of dark romanticism. Melancholic odes to the perseverance of the human spirit in face of tragedy.
In 2012 the band contacted legendary producer Alan Parsons who, after hearing "How to Be a Child and Win the War" agreed to collaborate with the band. The recordings were an adventure "hosted" in several London based studios as well as a studio in the Welsh countryside and the island of Corfu. Mastering once again took place at Abbey Road Studios.
"Bleak and broody music has never been quite so thrilling."
