Watch the teaser clip for the album via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6vrAmvllce8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The album was recorded by Erik Nilsson at Garaget Studio, Version Studio and Kristine Kyrka, drums recorded by Karl Daniel Lid\u00e9n at Studio Gr\u00f6ndahl, mixed and mastered by long-time collaborator Karl Daniel Lid\u00e9n (Crippled Black Phoenix, Bloodbath, Breach).  &#8216;The Woods&#8217; consists of three 13-minute pieces that travel between stillness and chaos. With patient restraint and ritualistic undertones, A Swarm of the Sun create a deliberate whole. The result is an album that urges the listener to stay to the end. A Swarm of the Sun has never shied away from the bleakest parts of the human experience. &#8216;The Woods&#8217; brings you comfort in knowing you\u2019re not alone. It wants to be a companion in the dark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Swedish post-rock duo A Swarm of the Sun have announced their fourth album, &#8216;The Woods&#8217;, which will be out on January 11, 2019. &#8216;The Woods&#8217; <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=30304\" title=\"A Swarm of the Sun announce new album &#8216;The Woods&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30305,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[22,23,28,30],"tags":[7876,7426,7875],"class_list":["post-30304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-new-release","tag-a-swarm-of-the-sun","tag-post-rock","tag-the-woods"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/281320.jpg?fit=800%2C535&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-7SM","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":34855,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=34855","url_meta":{"origin":30304,"position":0},"title":"Young Knives share new single \u2018Swarm\u2019","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"September 5, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"Young Knives (brothers Henry Dartnall and The House of Lords) have released Swarm, the opening track from their forthcoming album\u00a0\u2018Barbarians\u2019.
