”Asleep or Insane” Album out October 22:nd
Bakelit
A new Swedish progressive Art Rock project, founded by Carl Westholm, known from Carptree, Candlemass, Avatarium and several others, is coming this fall – Bakelit. With him are collaborators and friends from earlier projects.
The songs have had a long life inside Carl’s head and have existed in different versions and settings over the years. Now they have come to life with his new band, in a quick and smooth process. Remnants from earlier, more electronic versions give the songs a sound slightly out of the ordinary with one foot in Progressive Rock and the other in electronic Art Rock
The first single and video – ”The Coolest Place on Earth” – will be released on the 27:th of September. The second single and video – ”Remember Who You Are” – will follow on the 25:th of October. Finally, on the 22:nd of November the full album – ”Asleep or Insane” – will be released on the resurrected label FOSFOR Creation.
