In the world of “Estuary” clans surround structures of a bygone industrial Aeon without knowing their original\u003cbr\u003epurpose. By assigning them a new meaning, new societies aggregate. “Estuary” explores the tension and networking between\u003cbr\u003estillness and noise, animal and machine, elementals and electricity, and the awakening sophistication implicit in our mysterious\u003cbr\u003eorigins.\u003cbr\u003eNathan Weaver (lead vocals, guitar) comments: “Our new album, ‘Estuary’, takes place 1000 years in the future, after the death of\u003cbr\u003ecivilization. I\u0026amp;#39;ve always felt such calm at the idea of humanity vanishing from the world, and nature reclaiming everything. I dream of\u003cbr\u003ebeing alone in this setting and experiencing total calm and peace. This has been a recurring theme in all of Wolves’ music but for\u003cbr\u003e‘Estuary’, it is at the forefront.”\u003cbr\u003eThe bulk of the album was produced and recorded at the band’s own Owl Lodge studio in Olympia, Washington, with drums tracked\u003cbr\u003eby Nicholas Wilbur at The Unknown (a converted former church in Anacortes, Washington).\u003cbr\u003eWolves in the Throne Room will be opening portals performing Estuary on the \u0026amp;quot;Knights of Tiamat Tour\u0026amp;quot; across the UK and Europe\u003cbr\u003ethis winter, followed by the USA and internationally in 2027.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
