Vib Gyor release their debut album 'We Are Not An Island'on May 25th 2009
as an exclusive download with iTunes USA. Having secured 'single of the week'
with iTunes
for their track Fallen, the band will be playing shows
on the East and West Coast of the USA to coincide with
the release.
After some preliminary sessions at the infamous Rockfield
studios with Ken Thomas (Hope of the States, Sigur Ros,)
the band were keen to imprint their own distinct sound
to the recordings, and regrouped at their studio in
Yorkshire to record and produce the album with band
member Zane Keenan at the helm.
'We are not an island' is the follow up to The Secret
EP, recorded by Paul Corkett (Muse, Radiohead, The Cure....)
at his Studios in Bath. It still receives airplay in
the UK (BBC6 Music, XFM Single of the Week & Virgin
Extreme). In the USA the band were recently tipped as
'most likely to succeed' by Britsound and lead single
'The Secret' caused a stir with plays on Indie 103,
KRNK and WEQX. As a result of this, the band embarked
on a US West Coast tour and sold out key venues in LA,
San Francisco, Seattle and San Deigo, to name a few.
Their debut single "Fallen" was produced by Mike Cave
at Liverpool's Parr Street Studios, and was released
to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. There
was a phenomenal response stateside, including regular
airplay on KROQ (Jed the Fish-Catch of the Day!), KNRK,
WEQX, Indie 103 and an interview and acoustic session
on San Diego station 91Xs The Big Break, a slot usually
reserved for US talent. In the UK, Fallen received regional
& national airplay including Zane Lowe at Radio 1, Phil
Jupitus and Tom Robinson at BBC6 music & XFM; who playlisted
the track in Manchester, Scotland and London; a rare
feat for an unsigned band, even causing XFM DJ Clint
Boon (of Inspiral Carpets fame) to announce "This band
are going to make a huge impact on the world of music.
They are going to be massive."
