Out now is the follow-up EP to last year’s excellent “The Break Up!” CD by Norway’s electro rock act Essence Of Mind: "After The Break Up". The EP is available right now from Bandcamp, Spotify, etc..

This new EP features 4 brand new songs including the title track next to 4 remixes selected by the band. You'll find re-works by Chris R & Jaroslav Vyhnička (with a piano/strings-rock crossover version), by ExoSun (with an EDM electro remix), by Vigilante and by the band themselves. 8 tracks in total.

A video for the title track is available now on YouTube and shows the band live at work (an excellent experience which has led to a spot on M'era Luna this year after an excellent performance at the Danish SPOT festival).

New AMBASSADOR21 album "Human Rage" will be released this Fall on Invasion and distributed worldwide by Danse Macabre / Al!ve.

They continue touring and working in studio, many new songs already recorded, but it's still lots of work ;) They are planning to do vocal studio sessions soon.

And yeah - they announce the single "Revelation" to be released in the end of July on all best digital platforms.

Keep your ears open!

Since 2010 Taylor Burch and Joe Cocherell have propelled DVA Damas into a curiously cool fixture for Karl O'Connor's Downwards label. Having released a number of singles and EPs; including Brand New Head (2010), Nightshade (2013), Wet Vision (2015) and Clear Cut (forthcoming 2016), the duo have continued an effortless progression from their DIY punk lineage to a forward facing "now" sound.

While looking forward Burch and Cocherell have taken note from the dubwise, the tripped out and the driving. With tough, lean rhythms, heavy, subsonic bass and tongue-in-cheek wordplay, DVA DAMAS continue to present their contemporary, clever take on pop music.

The new 12" is out on June 5th and you can watch the video for title track "Clear Cut" written and directed by Taylor Burch below.

"To Be Clear, or not to be clear..."
