Architects Of Grace are releasing an E.P. The Damaged E.P is out October 10th (with a pre-order deluxe version exclusive). Architects Of Grace play two U.K shows to support the release. Moments In Time the debut album is out now and received much acclaim, such as:
“As good as anything Peter Murphy, Joy Division or Nine Inch Nails ever did. Drown in its beauty and depth. Do it, do it now. 9/10” – Subbacultcha
“An exercise in unbridled eclecticism. Impressive.” – Rock Sound
‘Moments in Time’ is a strong debut, full of passion and individuality… the band should be proud of such a fantastic first release. 8/10” – Bring The Noise
Architects Of Grace’s Duncan Robert Illing began writing and recording demos at home, the material grew stronger, admirers gathered. The resulting debut single, Hot White Sun, was re-pressed in 2010 and the original 1000 copies sold out.
During 2010 the debut album was written, during this period Duncan expanded his vision, and sought out like-minded musicians and friends to help bring his material to life. While the album is a product of one man’s vision, Architects Of Grace now exist as a band. Moments In Time was released in April 2011 and has been growing in reputation ever since.
While the album is mostly self-produced, Duncan was honoured to work the legendary producer Dave M Allen (The Cure, Psychedelic Furs, The Chameleons, Depeche Mode, Sisters Of Mercy) on Ocean Of The Heart and Tonight and Phil English (Biffy Clyro) on the guitar assault of Hot White Sun. They can now add Architects Of Grace to their impressive portfolio.
The album features the former singles Hot White Sun and Reflection and the aforementioned track Oceans Of The Heart (available as a free download). Meanwhile, tracks like Insatiable and Midnight To Midnight offer a more electronic sound, a soundtrack to nocturnal adventures.
The Damaged E.P will be released via Procession Records on 10th October 2011, however a deluxe extended 8 track version be available to order in advance via the band for a special low price. The Damaged E.P features a new mix of Damaged (the original found on the album), with 7 additional previously unheard tracks from the Moments In Time album sessions.
Architects Of Grace play two shows in September to support this release with more shows to follow later in 2011.
Sept 15th The Bowery, London.
Sept 28th The Hope, Brighton.
Moments In Time has already started to propel Architects Of Grace among the leading lights of this new decade’s wave of independent and alternative inspired acts. Having already drawn comparison to musical pioneers David Bowie and Trent Reznor, it’s only a matter of time before far more people take notice.
