Novena has slowly made a name for themselves with their 2016 EP Secondary Genesis, playing UK-Tech Fest 2016 and 2017, and hitting the road with acclaimed artists like Skyharbor, Vola, Sithu Aye. If you're not tuned in to the hype just yet, the single version of "Disconnected" will clue you in quick.
Novena will release their new album Eleventh Hour on March 6 via Frontiers Music Srl, which will feature the full version of "Disconnected" alongside a handful of other killer tracks. Here's what Novena had to say about the record.
In writing Secondary Genesis, we were saying to ourselves, "what could this be?" With Eleventh Hour, we are saying "this is who we are.” After three years of working hard to define, write, and record a new album, we are enormously excited to share our debut LP with the world. It acknowledges all of the experimental roads we explored on Secondary Genesis, and refines them, focuses them, and directs them. Eleventh Hour incorporates all of the heavy catharsis, fragile melody, rich harmony, and grand storytelling of the EP, but takes it further and casts the net wider. Still, our aim was to write and tell heartfelt stories, both true and fictitious. In doing so, we've created something that we're proud to share with you and hope you'll enjoy. We're enormously excited to be working with Frontiers today and in the future; to share a label with a number of our favourite bands is a dream. Expect so much more from us in the coming years – on record, online and in person.
Pre-orders for the record will be available soon. In the meantime, go listen to Secondary Genesis.
