Today, the world is presented with a New Wave Of Folk Rock.

Regular MetalTalk readers and listeners will be more than aware of the remarkable progress that Cellar Darling have made since they formed less than a year ago and today the debut album by this remarkable, innovative and exciting group, 'This Is The Sound', is released.

Before we talk about the album and present you with some quality listening material, you can can get to know Anna, Merlin and Ivo a little better because we have a rather special exclusive video for you eight here.

This Q&A video was filmed in the beautiful Swiss mountains so it's a bit more exciting than our usual locations. Here it is, for your enjoyment.



As well as today being the release day of 'This Is The Sound', Cellar Darling have also released the lyric video of 'The Hermit', one of the fourteen tracks from 'This Is The Sound'.



"'Hoi polloi' is a Greek expression meaning 'the many'. 'The Hermit' is a song about the love of solitude and indisposition felt within society and towards other people", the band say about their new song. And with great hope for the future they add:

"Almost exactly one year after Cellar Darling came into existence, we could not be more proud to finally share our first album with you. It's been an intense, sometimes difficult, but always rewarding year - and first and foremost an incredibly creative one. We think you can hear it all on the album. And we can't wait to hear what you think about it.

"Now our focus lies on one thing, and one thing only: getting back on stage and celebrating our music with you, the best fans in the world - we can't wait to see you on the road!"

You can order 'This Is The Sound' in several different formats right hrtr.
