IN HEARTS WAKE // Reveals #Skydancer


Did you find the hidden message under the CD tray of Earthwalker? The project now comes full circle with the surprise release of Skydancer out May 1 on UNFD.

 

Released almost a year to the day of Earthwalker, Skydancer is the second half of an ambitious project once shrouded in secrecy. Both albums were recorded back-to-back during sessions in 2013.

First single Breakaway will premiere on triple j today (4 March) at 4pm AEDT.

The album includes a new version of former single Skydancer featuring Jonathan Vigil of The Ghost Inside, as well as guest appearances from Marcus Bridge of Northlane and J Hurley and Ben Marvin of Hacktivist.

According to a statement, “Skydancer will also see In Hearts Wake working in conjunction with Local Futures – a non-profit organisation lead by Helena Norberg-Hodge; pioneer of the localisation movement and director of of the award-winning documentary, The Economics of Happiness. The organisation is dedicated to the protection and renewal of ecological and social well being at a local, tangible level.”

Byron Bay quintet In Hearts Wake released Earthwalker on 2 May, 2014, debuting at #5 on the ARIA Charts. They went on to sell out their entire album tour, break through into the European and North American markets and play as one of the headliners at the inaugural UNIFY Gathering in January. The band also planted 1,379 native Australian trees as part of the album campaign. The album was also voted #1 album on triple j’s Short Fast Loud poll,

Skydancer drops on May 1 via UNFD. Vocalist Jake Taylor will appear on triple j’s Short Fast Loud tonight discussing the double-album concept. Worldwide premiere of the Breakaway music video will be at skydancerproject.com tomorrow 5 March at 9am.
