<img class="alignleft" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/parachutes_MED.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Hidden Shoal Recordings has announced the release of ‘<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=47&amp;products_id=141">Parachutes Forever</a>’, the debut single by Danish spectral noise-rock quartet <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/salli-lunn/">Salli Lunn</a>.

‘Parachutes Forever’ rises and falls in vertiginous shifts, carried by thunderous rhythms, skewed guitar patterns and the compelling vocal presence of Lasse Skjold Bertelsen. It’s a superb demonstration of Salli Lunn’s mastery of light and shade. At its brightest, glockenspiel patterns and chiming guitar arpeggios highlight the hope and yearning woven throughout the track; at its darkest, thick coils of bass, pounding drums and wrenching chord changes deepen the atmosphere of foreboding and menace.

The track is an essential taster for the expansive forthcoming debut album <em>Heresy and Rite</em> produced by Jonas Munk (Manual).  On <em>Heresy and Rite</em> Salli Lunn are utterly bewitching, weaving dark magic in the bleak hinterland of guitar-driven atmospherics, stirring in equal parts pop melody and angular noise. From the tumbling drums and lurching coda of opener ‘The Frame of Reference’ to the stunning finale ‘The First Cause’, the band walk a tightrope between bright-eyed songcraft and shadowy textures that threaten to overwhelm.

‘Parachutes Forever’ is available as a <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=47&amp;products_id=141">free download</a> until the release of <em>Heresy and Rite</em> on July 6th, 2010.
