White Willow Unveils New Music Video..

We are very proud to present our new video to the song "Kansas Regrets" from the new album. The video was directed and shot by the very talented Dion Johnson, who recently also shot a video for Slow Electric (Peter Chilvers, Tony Levin, Tim Bowness). "Kansas Regrets" was co-written with Tim Bowness (No-Man), who also sings the song. The video was shot on Tim's home turf, Norwich in England. Enjoy! (Note that the video is in HD, so use the 1080p HD setting on Youtube for full effect.)

"Terminal Twilight" on Vinyl..

Our wonderful friends over at Pancromatic Records are releasing a limited vinyl edition of "Terminal Twilight". Gatefold cover, 180 gr. vinyl, the whole thing looks absolutely terrific, and sounds even better! More info and per-order here. Release date is November 11th.

It will also be available from Termo Records' webstore around the date of release.

"Terminal Twilight" is OUT...

Ok, so it took a little while - a mere five years. But it's here, it's now, and folks say it's good:

"Terminal Twilight is an album of amazing diversity, oustanding musicianship and stunning vocal work." - Musical Discoveries

"A gorgeous, haunting album" - MSN Entertainment

"A haunting beauty" - Absolute Zero Media

"full of beautiful vocal melodies, superb instrumental parts, great sounds, glorious tunes, loads of fascinating diversions, enchanting acoustic forays, and bursts of powerful rocking." 9/10, - Ravenheart Music

"Stunningly beautiful, almost heart-achingly so, Terminal Twilight unfolds and reveals itself like a painting that shows more and more with each viewing. White Willow may very well have delivered an album that stands next to Leprous’ Bilateral as my Album of the Year." - Bloody Disgusting (never mind the name, it's THE site for horror movie reviews that also has a music section...)

"This is a band that oozes style and this is an album that is rather classy to say the least, seeing the band play with some very interesting themes and musical soundstages. The band has managed to capture an endearing soundstage that is captivating; musically poetic and full of atmosphere." - Sea of Tranquility

"White Willow's Terminal Twilight is a treatise in adventurous music, prog meets art rock meets orchestral and electronics in a perplexing and intriguing milieu. This is certainly not for the faint of heart or those stumbling over the next fluffy, sugar-coated, current music trend." - Dangerdog Music Reviews

"one of the most beautifully composed and yet perplexingly complex albums of 2011" - Infernal Masquerade

We hope you will like it too. You can order it directly from our label, Termo Records or if you live in North America, get it from our US label The Laser's Edge. You can also, of course, get it from places like Amazon.Com from iTunes.

Also, an announcement about our forthcoming album Terminal Twilight: We have had to push the release date back to October 17. This is due to a simple scheduling conflict. We're sorry about this, but we think the album will be better served this way. Right now we're putting the finishing touches to the mix, and preparing the cover art. More updates, and possibly some videologs, soon!

Our New Album...

We are currently recording our new studio album. More details will be forthcoming. British singer Tim Bowness (No-Man) appears as a special guest on the album. The title of the album will be Terminal Twilight.

The Official release date for Terminal Twilight has been set: August 15th 2011. We know it's a bit of a wait, but we're waiting in line in what is a bit of a busy release year for Termo Records. Also, we are happy to announce that The Laser's Edge are licensing the album for North-American release.

Ignis Fatuus available on vinyl now...

Norwegian progsters White Willow's legendary prog-folk debut "Ignis Fatuus" from 1995 is finally released on vinyl. Featuring remastered sound and a 13 minute bonus track, this is the ultimate edition of a seminal Scandinavian album. The CD has been out of print for years and is already a collectors' item. Now you can own it as a double album on vinyl (180 g), sumptuously packaged in a gatefold sleeve with artwork by design team Trine&Kim and including a lyrics insert.

"Ignis Fatuus" is a mellotron-drenched journey through meadows and forests, featuring a cast of thousands and instruments like sitars, krumhorns, bagpipes and pennywhistles in addition to an arsenal of analogue synths and ethereal female voices. Think early King Crimson meets Dead Can Dance meets The Trees and you're halfway there. The album has been praised by such diverse musicians as Lee Dorrian (Cathedral, Napalm Death), Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth), Greg Weeks (Espers, Marissa Nadler) and Fabio Zuffanti (Höstsonaten, Maschera di Cera).

Purchase the album here!
