Until My Darkness Goes by Blood Quartet

We’re really excited about this one! It’s quite different from our first LP - Deep Red - more variety, nuance and detail, but more Blood Quartet than ever. We had a great time recording it with Jens Neumaier at Maikmaier studios in Barcelona, and got another great cover from our house photographer and designer - Frederic Navarro. No English press on this yet but here’s an interview/article in Spanish from El Periodico:

Blood Quartet

Mon, 31 Oct 2016 16:21:00 +0900

Blood Quartet was formed in early 2015 in Barcelona, after I was asked to collaborate with Catalan underground rock band Murnau B. to play at a party for Shookdown magazine to celebrate a special issue about No Wave. The encounter went so well that we decided to keep it going. The name, our own sound and a set of songs followed quite naturally.

In May 2015, after our first concerts as Blood Quartet, we released an EP, Dark Energy, on cassette and online on Bandcamp.
