Nine Stones Close - "Diurnal" (July 11 via FREIA Music / Lovely at Home Records)

Nine Stones Close is set to release their highly anticipated album, "Diurnal," on July 11, 2024. After a long hiatus due to personal and global events, the band, spearheaded by Adrian Jones and Brendan Eyre, reconnected in early 2023 to create new music without any preconceived ideas of themes or styles. This fresh wave of productivity and inspiration led to the cathartic creation of "Diurnal."

The album reflects the arc of a day and the internal dilemmas faced by individuals. It takes listeners from the hopeful dawn of a new day through the highs and lows of daily events, culminating in moments of reflection as the sun sets. With tracks like the beautiful lead single "Ghosted," the powerful "Angel of Flies," and the epic "Frustration/Sedation," "Diurnal" promises an emotional journey through the band's rich musical landscape.
