For Immediate Release September 9, 2014 Contact: Hilary@epitaph.com DANIEL LANOIS TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM OCTOBER 28
Latest Effort Flesh And Machine Nothing Short of Total Artistic Rebirth The Wall Street Journal Premieres First Track Today Live Dates and Film Submission Project Announced Throughout a storied career as a musician, producer and engineer, Daniel Lanois helped push the ambient genre forward into celestial new territory as Brian Eno’s foremost protégé; he has recorded landmark albums for U2 and Peter Gabriel and helped to revitalize the sonic dimensions of Bob Dylan and Neil Young. But Flesh And Machine (out October 28) marks the first time Lanois has truly deployed every sonic weapon in his arsenal in hopes that it may reach the position of headphone album of the year. Hear the first track off the upcoming album entitled “Opera” care of The Wall Street Journal here WSJ.com . Flesh And Machine was initially conceived as an ambient album, and tracks such as ‘Forest City’ take the classic Brian Eno albums that he worked on Ambient 4: On Land (1982) and Apollo: Atmospheres And Soundtracks (1983) as a wonderful bedrock to stand on to see the sonic future. The album bristles with new ideas. He spent countless hours processing an array of source sounds - steel and electric guitar, piano and human voice - to create the sound palette that is Flesh and Machine. Lanois has already prepared songs from Flesh And Machine to be performed live by a trio including himself, drummer Brian Blade and bassist Jim Wilson where both the playing of instruments and the sampling, dubbing and processing will happen in real time, essentially bringing the studio to the stage. Daniel Lanois is still raising that spirit of music and still opening up doors to the unknown. Flesh and Machine Track Listing:

Lanois and The Modern School of Film have enlisted a select number of established international filmmakers to create visual works inspired by the new sonic frontier surveyed in Flesh and Machine. Filmmakers Wally Pfister Transcendence, Atom Egoyan The Sweet Hereafter, Mary Harron American Psycho, Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene, Jim McKay Breaking Bad and Ondi Timoner Dig! have all contributed short-form works to this series.
