Frames are back with their second album, IN VIA and one immediately hears that after five years of existence, they've stayed true to their unique sound. It's a difficult sound to describe, even enter looking through all the niches, corners and boxed in genres we all know. With a true players ease, huge guitar riffs turn into romantic melodies, driving drums travel through dark mists to find a ray of sunshine, soft piano sequences dance up an ever-building foundation until they form the perfect storm. Chapter for chapter, song for song, strings of emotion form a network to become personal stories - either real of fictional - where listeners can form an individual soundtrack for their own mental picture. The band's only goal - to give it a Frame. IN VIA is the developmental follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut album MOSAIK. Recorded in Hannover at Institut für Wohklangforschung, they've tested and reached new boundaries. Complex songs full of little details make a rich, unique sound that grows and grows and is quintessentially Frames - totally instrumental and just outside the mainstream.
