spiros_metsouggis So the first 2 songs here were "leftovers" that didn't make it into the Ceasar masterpiece of theirs...what shall I say, this band is pure gold, and their pop version manifesting as of recently only grows their legacy and legend to new heights. Favorite track: Echo Chamber (Room of Tears).

Jordan Vauvert Sic Transit Gloria Mundi est un E.P. qui contient quelques pistes qui n'ont pas trouvé place sur The Assassination of Julius Caesar et sera donc un ajout indispensable pour tous ceux qui ont adoré la transition d'Ulver vers un croisement entre rock et synthpop — j'en fais partie. Mais plus que de simples "restes", ces trois pistes annoncent déjà une envie d'avancer et un thème (la dimension cyclique du temps) qui sera pleinement exploitée dans Flowers of Evil. Et cette si belle reprise aussi !! Favorite track: The Power of Love.

XabaCadabra The Power of Love cover is great, Echo Chambers is wonderful and Bring Out Your Dead is definitely one of the best songs I've heard in the last few years Favorite track: Bring Out Your Dead.

about

The sad remains from our Caesarean banquet. Two songs we kind of left on the drawing board but resumed work on this summer. Additionally, a cover of a childhood favourite – one we actually started some twelve–thirteen years ago – from the time we first started thinking about making “pop” music. This EP was finalized in our new studio in the old town of Oslo in September, and sent off to Youth's (Martin Glover and Michael Rendall) in London in October, for imperial sound quality. Mastered this week by The Bricoleur.

Cover shows Francis Bacon's Study After Velásquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X (1953), used with kind permission of Des Moines Art Center. Design by Paschalis Zervas, +wolframgrafik.

Thanks to David Hall and Vivek Venkatesh for their wonderful work on videos to accompany these two new songs, using footage from our concert at Labirinto della Masone, Italy, June 3rd. Also in order is a big shout out to Birk Nygaard, BN Visuals, for his general laser dementia and documenting this special occasion. Birk will join us on the road this November, and we hope to see some of you out there. Also with us, as usual, best FOH in the West, Chris Fullard.

A physical version is likely later. There's simply no time to prepare one right now, we have a tour to get ready for. But please keep an eye on the House of Mythology.

The Sic Transit Gloria Mundi EP is available from us on Bandcamp now. Spotify, iTunes, etc. in a few weeks or so, depending on industry bureaucracy. Please spread and share at will, we don’t have the patience to wait for the music machine hubbub. This is the age of the internet, innit?

Thank you for listening.
