Lunatic Soul “Impressions” mini-site is now live!

Impressions is the new album from Lunatic Soul is now available to pre-order from the Kscope store.
Lunatic Soul is the solo project from Riverside creative force and lead singer, Mariusz Duda.

Impressions, the third album from Lunatic Soul, follows 2010’s acclaimed II (White Album) and features a number of tracks written in the sessions for both that and the self titled (Black Album) debut in 2008.

Mariusz felt that the compositions completed the theme set out on I & II and decided to return to the studio earlier this year to record the final instalment in the trilogy.

‘Impressions is a collection of instrumental compositions, which act as an addition to the story told on the black and white Lunatic Soul albums. These songs without lyrics, with scarce vocal parts are more ambient in style, resembling a soundtrack to a film or a video game.‘
Mariusz Duda.

Impressions will be released on CD and gatefold vinyl, pre-order from the Kscope store.

New Lunatic Soul release this year!

Lunatic Soul – “Impressions”

Impressions” is a collection of instrumental compositions, an addition to the story told on the black and white Lunatic Soul albums. Those songs without lyrics, with scarce vocal parts limited to being just a background, are more ambient in style, resembling a soundtrack to a film or a video game. The titles of those new compositions are linked to the lyrics and themes introduced in the black and white diptych.

MD: Since the beginning I´ve treated Lunatic Soul as music for a film. Unfortunately, if anybody wanted to create a soundtrack out of it, it wouldn´t be possible because of the small number of instrumental pieces. When we were recording the black and the white album, we composed a lot more material that later for different reasons was not included on the albums. Now nothing stops us to gather them together into a unified whole and release them on additional CD’s. I think that thanks to this the whole story will gain the adequate depth and character. At first we thought that “Impressions” would be divided into two parts and added to the new releases of the black and white albums. But after hearing the first part the Kscope team suggest to gather them all together and create a separate album. I thought It would be really cool idea.

Lunatic Soul “Impressions” will be a limited number release available through Kscope , scheduled for Oct 10th.
