Pendulum – Watercolour

• 6th Apr 2010

PENDULUM made one of the biggest breakthroughs of recent years with their hit album ‘In Silico’. Having sold over 1 million records worldwide, the band completed a sell out Academy tour in 2008 and went on to smash the international festival circuit last summer with killer appearances at GLASTONBURY, DOWNLOAD, V and GLOBAL GATHERING to name a few. Both Pendulum studio albums to date – ‘In Silico’and the band’s debut ‘Hold Your Colour’ – have gone Platinum.

Now they’re back with their most visceral and enthralling work with the album ‘Immersion’ that’s set for release on May 24th. The first taster of the album will be the single ‘Watercolour’ that’s due for release on May 3rd.

‘Watercolour’ heralds a glorious evolution in the Pendulum sound. Now utilising a richer sonic tapestry than ever before, the sublime ‘Watercolour’ finds Rob Swire’s vocals alternating between eerie distortion and full-blooded energy amidst flourishes of horns and an atmospheric, tension building breakdown. The track’s progressive structure highlight’s Pendulum’s growing strength in constructing contrasting dynamics.

“Please enjoy this refreshing musical beverage, bottled at source from the sparkling clear streams of Camden (and Perth, Australia). What better way to start your immersive experience?”
(Rob Swire, Pendulum)

Already one of the most anticipated albums of 2010, the excitement building around ‘Immersion’escalated following Pendulum’s exclusive album preview DJ set at their EAR STORM night at London’s Matter in January. The set was streamed live to an audience of 200,000, with a total of 350,000 people interacting with the content on the day.

Pendulum take their brand new headline show bursting with new material around the UK and IRELAND this summer. The tour includes a landmark show at London’s WEMBLEY ARENA and features support from SUB FOCUS (live):
