Hear track from Until All The Ghosts Are Gone, their first album in 8 years

Anekdoten have released their track Get Out Alive from their upcoming sixth album Until All The Ghosts Are Gone.

Released on April 10, it’s their first since 2007’s A Time Of Day, and appears via the Swedish outfit’s own label, Virta.

Bassist and vocalist Jan Erik Liljestrom says: “How to pick a first single from the forthcoming album? Choose a song that is fairly representative and has a bit of everything in it, but is less than 10 minutes long. That the first line in the lyrics is, ‘Hello my friend’ is a bonus in this case.”

Liljestrom, guitarist Nicklas Barker, drummer Peter Nordins and cellist/keyboardist Anna Sofi Dahlberg are joined on the record by a number of guest musicians, including King Crimson and Steven Wilson collaborator Theo Travis and ex Opeth keyboardist Per Wiberg.
