This follows their highly acclaimed 2007 self-titled debut EP and 2012's full length, Rope for No Hopers.Once again taking their favoured DIY approach, the album was recorded and mixed by the band, giving them complete control over the record's direction and nuance. Emitter?was mastered in the US by renowned musician and engineer James Plotkin, who has also worked with the likes of ISIS, Earth and Sunn O))). The album features a number of collaborators including award winning modern classical composer Emily Hall (Bedroom Community) adding the voices of her curated choir to `Companion'?and `Wreath'. Further vocal performances come from soloists Blythe Pepino (Vaults/Mesadorm) and award-winning singer-songwriter Emily Barker.The title track `Emitter' showcases celebrated saxophonist Andrew Hayes (Run Logan Run/Tezeta), whose bright jazz flourishes and rending wails add a deeply plaintive touch. *Denovali
