The album was released digitally on April 16 via the&nbsp;Midsummer Madness&nbsp;label but they will also be issuing the album on vinyl in a limited edition run this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this 9-track offering, the duo blurs the lines between shoegaze, pop, noise-rock, ambient, and post-rock. Submotile delivers a unique brand of layered, atmospheric and immersive indie rock.

Now a full-on hybrid in their sounds, defying genre pigeonholing, Submotile were initially conceived as an ambient, experimental project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duo evolved its sound considerably once Daniela began to add vocals to Michael&#8217;s guitar experiments, yielding their first proper collaborative track&nbsp;<em>Signs of My Melody<\/em>. The well-received debut EP&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/submotile.com\/album\/were-losing-the-light-ep\" target=\"_blank\">&#8216;We&#8217;re Losing The Light&#8217;<\/a>&nbsp;followed, gaining the band significant interest in the shoegaze community. This encouraged them to pursue their dream of recording a proper album. &#8216;Ghosts Fade on Skylines&#8217; is the culmination of nine months of recording &#8211; from August 2018 to March 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;We wanted an album that ebbed and flowed, with nine diverse songs that complimented each other without being too different from each other. The idea behind the music is to express the dualism of warmth over hostility, passion over frustration, all these dynamics projected onto a sense of hope and renaissance. I&#8217;m not sure if we succeeded, but hopefully it works,&#8221;<\/em> says&nbsp;Daniela Angione.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recorded and produced by <g class=\"gr_ gr_3 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"3\" data-gr-id=\"3\">Submotile<\/g> in their home studio, this album was mastered by&nbsp;Brian Lucey&nbsp;from&nbsp;Magic Garden Mastering, well known for his work with&nbsp;Ringo Deathstarr, Sigur Ros, Liam Gallager, Marilyn Manson, Neko Case&nbsp;<g class=\"gr_ gr_4 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"4\" data-gr-id=\"4\">and<\/g>&nbsp;The Black Keys, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Having quit music in 2009 due to the frustration of never having been able to translate the sounds in my head to tape, &#8216;Ghosts Fade on Skylines&#8217; was recorded during a wonderful period of rebirth and rejuvenation, a period where I was discovering all the great new music that was out there, whilst simultaneously finding out just how far music production technology had evolved,&#8221;<\/em> explains&nbsp;Michael Farren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;This evolution allowed us to come that bit closer to the sound in our heads, enabling us to labor over songs, adding hundreds of tracks and experimenting with samples, guitar pedals and tones \u2013 many a happy hour was whiled away tracking this music. If someone out there enjoys listening to it a fraction as much as we enjoyed making it, then to me it&#8217;ll be a success.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Submotile&#8217;s music is influenced by numerous artists, including My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Warpaint, Smashing Pumpkins, Massive Attack, Swans, Spiritualized, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and Stars of the Lid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Farren&nbsp;adds: <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s not an understatement to say that we obsessively labored over this album, with most songs having well in excess of 120 tracks (with &#8216;Winter Storm Sequence&#8217; having 167). The vocal mixing alone on some songs took over six days. We wanted something that lent itself well to headphone listening, creating an immersive experience that reveals new layers on repeat listens, yet hopefully without sounding like an overblown, excessive mess.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Track list<\/strong><br>1.
