Revered progressive instrumental mastermind Aaron Marshall has announced the release of his 3rd full-length INTERVALS record, The Way Forward, on 1 December 2017. The LP is the follow-up to 2015’s highly acclaimed The Shape of Colour and is available to pre-order today (physical + digital) via www.intervalsmusic.net.
INTERVALS have also unveiled lead track ‘Touch and Go’, check it out below.
Since 2011, Aaron Marshall / INTERVALS has been Canada’s premier ambassador of progressive, instrumental guitar music. From 2012’s innovative staple EP In Time through 2015’s widely-lauded The Shape of Colour, Marshall has consistently been the voice of instrumental, guitar driven rock/metal from the north. The latest offering The Way Forward represents the natural evolution of Aaron’s sound, effortlessly melding high energy riff driven rock, with lush, ethereal soundscapes, whilst consistently driving home memorable, thought provoking hooks. In 2016, Marshall toured in support of The Shape of Colour, headlining across North America and also as direct support to instrumental metal alumni, Animals As Leaders across Europe and North America. While becoming a household name in instrumental, guitar driven music, Intervals is poised to ascend beyond the glass ceiling in support of The Way Forward.
Says Marshall of the new album, “I’m really excited to begin sharing music from this album with everyone. This record is special to me in the sense that I really tried to channel some of the things that excited and interested me in music when I initially discovered my passion for it as a kid. ‘The Way Forward’ is a really interesting literary concept to me in the context of this record. While I explored some new ground with these songs, I managed to find those elements by way of acknowledging my past. Touch and Go is the first tune off the record and has that quintessential Intervals vibe to it, but also starts to open the door towards where the record is headed. Every song has its own thing going on and I’m excited for everyone to hear it all!”
Armed with a full band, INTERVALS are about to begin a headline tour of Europe with support from Polyphia and Nick Johnston. Canadian tour dates will be announced when available. See below for a current routing.
