Chicago instrumental post-metal trio Russian Circles return to the studio today to begin recording material for a fourth album. Brandon Curtis of The Secret Machines and Interpol, who produced the band's previous album Geneva, is producing and mixing the new collection of songs at Phantom Manor in Chicago.
This marks the band's first full-length to be released worldwide exclusively via Sargent House -- the band's longtime management company and record label that had previously released only the vinyl editions of its three previous albums.
Russian Circles -- guitarist Mike Sullivan, drummer Dave Turncrantz and bassist Brian Cook -- will then take to the road this summer in Europe on a co-headlining tour with new labelmates Japanese heavy-psych trio Boris. Tour dates will be announced soon.
"A lot of the mood going into this album has been reflective on the last couple years of touring," Cook says. "We have a ton of new material. We're excited to get into recording and be somewhat sheltered from the outside world. We're going to try to make the same ebb and flow of our live set happen on the record, with more constructive dynamics and dramatic bridging between songs. We want to experiment in similar ways that we did with strings and embellishments on Geneva, but we don't want to have songs that won't sound the same in a live setting."
Tides From Nebula new album entitled "Earthshine" will be released on May 9th 2011 via Mystic Production. The writing of material for ‘Earthshine’ was completed in the first half of 2010. Here is the cover:
Tracklist:
1. These Days, Glory Days
2. The Fall Of Leviathan
3. Waiting For The World To Turn Back
4. Caravans
5. White Gardens
6. Hypothermia
7. Siberia
8. Cemetery Of Frozen Ships

During recording to distance them from everyday life the band took to the remote Polish mountains. This new, inspiring environment proved to be the perfect setting to record, resulting in an album filled with emotional, ambient and energetic soundscapes.
‘Earthshine’ was produced by Zbigniew Preisner, renowned as one of the Worlds foremost composers of music for film and theatre. Zbigniew tracked the band down after hearing them on the radio and offered his experience and expertise. An offer that couldn’t be refused or understated ‘Working with such a great composer brought a new perspective to our compositions, Zbigniew’s invaluable experience has certainly enriched us as musicians’ states Maciej. ‘We put our all in to ‘Earthshine’ our very beings, what we have created makes us very proud’
