Shloovians Unite

Here is a new message from Rishloo regarding work on their next album...

Hello "Shloovians"

Just a quick update as to what you can look forward to in 2009. We will be going into the studio to record our third album. Planned to be out by June 09. You can be rest assured we'll be spending an incredible amount of energy to present the best possible effort to date. We're all very excited about the new music and can't wait for you all to hear it. We've started playing a couple of newer songs live "Scissorlips" and "River of Glass" to the huge response of the fans that have been present. This has been a very inspiring couple of years for all of us and hope that it has been the same for you. We'll continue to update you as time goes on and don't forget to inspire.

Rishloo truly are one of the best unsigned bands in the country, focusing equal parts of art and songcraft. I've been hooked since I first heard their debut album "Terras Fames," and they haven't let me down since. Now if only they would make it over to the east coast for some concerts!!



For those of you that aren't familiar with Rishloo and their music, here is the what CD Baby had to say about their sophomore release...

For the Seattle-based AMPH (artistic, melodic, progressive, hard) rock band RISHLOO, music is an adventure without a destination, and the only wrong course is backwards. Starting with a sound reminiscent of artists such as Dredg, Tool, and The Mars Volta, RISHLOO layers their music with the emotional depth and beauty of Tori Amos, the furious honesty of Rage Against the Machine, the soul, songwriting, and social conscience of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, and the sonic deviousness of Mogwai to create an aural experience that pushes Rock’s envelope while staying true to the genre’s roots. Having sold nearly 2,000 copies of their debut album, Terras Fames, to appreciative fans across the globe, RISHLOO has returned with their second offering.

The band’s sophomore effort, Eidolon, is a brazenly honest exploration of the motives, perceptions and emotional climate of the world in which we live that cuts through the relentless haze of distraction to offer a vision of what is possible when music, art and experience are not confined to a narrow spectrum. As Adam Roncaglione of Decoy Magazine puts it, “The album feels effortless without the slightest hint of pretension, endearing you to them almost instantly. … mounds of maturation have only given the band the boost from good to great on Eidolon. Although still unsigned, it's hard to understand why after hearing this new gem of a progressive rock album…”
