专辑简介
SonVer formed in November 2003, when Joanna Quail [cello] and Ben McLees [guitar] wrote and recorded 'Until The Stones Melt', a 9-minute track which would form the template for SonVer's cinematic, post-rock soundscapes.
The duo recorded SonVer's eponymous debut during the first half of 2005, which would be released on Disconnected Music in the November of that year.
SonVer's live shows at the time incorporated visuals by Simon Bryant, the largely monochrome, slow-motion films perfectly complementing SonVer's evocative music.
During 2006, SonVer's presence on the live scene grew. In addition to several shows at London's legendary The Spitz venue, the duo also performed at WGT Festival in Germany, Ashton Court Festival in Bristol and a year-ending headline set at Teviot Underground in Edinburgh.
2007 began with the release of the 4-track 'Vigil' EP, which showcased the elegaic side of SonVer alongside an incendary live version of 'Khat Show Host', still a live favourite to this day.
During the summer of 2007. SonVer expanded to a 4-piece, with the additions of guitarist/bassist Ruban Byrne and drummer Alistair Richardson.
Following the live debut of the new line-up at The Luminaire, SonVer closed 2007 with a memorable show at The Union Chapel in London.
2008 began with a gig in Lisbon [Portugal], co-inciding with the release of the limited edition 'Music Box' EP [also featuring Rose McDowall and Naevus], which included two otherwise-unavailable SonVer tracks.
May 2008 saw the release of a new SonVer EP. Entitled '3 Songs', the new release came in the form of a collaboration with Belgian group Elephant Leaf. Named 'single of the week' by influencial music magazine Organ, the EP was launched at a second show at The Union Chapel, which saw Elephant Leaf vocalist Lucie Dehli join SonVer for a finale of 'Safety In Numbness', the closing track on '3 Songs'.
During the summer, SonVer teamed up with Ed Simpson of Lautrec to perform an AV/live soundtrack set during the festival season. Entitled '2001: A Space Dub Odyssey', the set was performed to packed film/cinema tents at both Latitude and Green Man Festivals in the UK.
In November 2008, SonVer release their second album 'Luz del Abyss', supported by a live show in Leige [Belgium] and a third appearance at The Union Chapel in London.
2009 sees SonVer working in support of the new album with live shows across the UK and into Europe, before summer festival shows which will showcase a new AV concept show featuring bespoke films by producers from across Europe.
