Shining Put Their Noses to the Grindstone on New LP

Shining Put Their Noses to the Grindstone on New LP Norwegian jazz/metal/prog quartet (and motorcycle helmet enthusiasts) Shining will release Grindstone-- their follow-up to 2005's awesome In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster-- on January 29 in Europe and February 20 in North America via Rune Grammofon.

All Shining members have "various instruments" credits on Grindstone, which is downright post-rockian in its commitment to song titles both long and absurd (witness the debut of a song with the same title as their last record and another with its title in Morse Code!). According to a press release, Grindstone finds the band continuing In the Kingdom's commitment to "moving between complex riffing, filmic soundscapes, [and] jazz, classical and modern composition."

Tracklist:

01 In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster
02 Winterreise
03 Stalemate Longan Runner
04 To Be Proud of Crystal Colours Is to Live Again
05 Moonchild Mindgames
06 The Red Room
07 Asa Nisi Masa
08 Psalm
