Three years on from debut album Sol29, Nosound returns with its highly anticipated second album, 'Lightdark', released through the Burning Shed label.
Regarded by critics and fans alike as one of the most interesting up and coming alt/art rock bands in Europe, Lightdark sees the Nosound identity evolve into something even more focused and powerful.
'Lightdark' inventively combines influences from '70s psychedelia, '80s/'90s ambient and contemporary alt/progressive rock.
Recorded in Italy, England and the US throughout 2006 and 2007, the album develops further the promise of debut album 'Sol29' and exhibits a stronger group identity which reveals a greater contrast between atmospheric detail and the walls of sound created by the band on stage.
Highlights include the 15 minute epic 'From Silence to Noise', the ethereal 'The Misplay' (with cellist Marianne DeChastelaine), and the epic piano/mellotron driven ballad 'Someone Starts To Fade Away' (which features No-Man's Tim Bowness on vocals).
The album includes a stylish 16 page booklet complete with photos and lyrics.

NOSOUND inventively combines influences from ’70s psychedelia,’80s/’90s ambient and contemporary alternative, post and progressive rock. In July 2008 the band signed to post-progressive label Kscope/Snapper.
A new 2 CD deluxe digipack edition of Lightdark album is being released on Kscope on September 15th 2008. The bonus disc features 4 tracks not on the original release and a promotional enhanced video track. Currently the band are planning to play a few festivals before returning to the studio later this year to start recording their 3rd release due in 2009.
The project was started as a one man studio project in late 2002 by Giancarlo Erra, but has since become a band in studio and live performances. Music is evocative and intense, with personal songwriting. Influences go from Pink Floyd to Brian Eno, from Porcupine Tree to Sigur Ros, passing through rock, electronic/ambient and postrock.Official debut album (‘Sol29’) was released the first quarter of 2005, followed in 2006 by a live Dvd (‘The World is Outside’) containing also unreleased material. A new live was issued in the first half of 2007 (‘Slow, it goes’). Anticipating the new album was then released an exclusive Ep (‘Clouds’), containing three out takes from new album recording sessions.

I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of purchase!!!
