We are proud to present the new music video of the song "Kansas Regrets" off White Willow's new album "Terminal Twilight". The song was co-written with Tim Bowness, and is also sung by him. Dion Johnson directed the video.



Terminal Twilight is available from http://termo.myshopify.com/ as well as from itunes, amazon and any good vendor.

I haven't given up yet!  Cry  Just giving my first impression.  I will certainly listen to it many more times (well, unless it's really awful! <g>).  Honestly, based on reviews of previous albums I do have somewhat high hopes for it.

There will indeed be a vinyl release of  Terminal Twilight, it's just around the corner, actually :-)

And yes, we have similar plans for the rest of the catalog. As you may know, we already started with the first album, which was released as a pretty gorgeous double gatefold LP with a long bonus track. More to come!

Hello!

Any chance of a vinyl release?! :)

I bought the vinyl re-issue of the first album and loved it!

Actually, would love it if the plan is to re-release all the previous albums in similar beautiful vinyl packages!

I agree with this, for the most part.  I remember when I saw that "Sacrament" was on Greg Walker's list of best prog albums.  I listened to it and thought he was a bit off.  But it has really grown on me over the years.  And this album is no different.  Whether it's ultimately better than "Sacrament," time will tell.  But it's close, for sure.

I'd agree with that as well, the only reason I loved Terminal Twilight on first listen was because I was in the dark with the sound way up!

Oh, and excellent interview there Assaf, some excellent questions and answers.

I was rather surprised to see this on the "new releases" rack at my local CD store!  Not previously familiar with the band, but it seemed too good to pass up.  Have listened to it only once, and at work so I wasn't focused on it.  Seemed nice, but nothing particular special (sorry!).  Of course I'll have to listen to it more to have a really good feel for it.

In case you hadn't heard, today was the release of White Willow's brand new album "Terminal Twilight". 

The whole album is streaming for a limited time over at AOL Music: http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds#/27

If you like what you hear, order it here: http://termo.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/cd-white-willow-terminal-twilight

And if you need further convincing, here's what some folks have said about the album: 

"Terminal Twilight is an album of amazing diversity, oustanding musicianship and stunning vocal work." - Musical Discoveries

"A gorgeous, haunting album" - MSN Entertainment

"A haunting beauty" - Absolute Zero Media

"full of beautiful vocal melodies, superb instrumental parts, great sounds, glorious tunes, loads of fascinating diversions, enchanting acoustic forays, and bursts of powerful rocking." 9/10, - Ravenheart Music

"Stunningly beautiful, almost heart-achingly so, Terminal Twilight unfolds and reveals itself like a painting that shows more and more with each viewing. White Willow may very well have delivered an album that stands next to Leprous' Bilateral as my Album of the Year." - Bloody Disgusting (never mind the name, it's THE site for horror movie reviews that also has a music section...)

"This is a band that oozes style and this is an album that is rather classy to say the least, seeing the band play with some very interesting themes and musical soundstages. The band has managed to capture an endearing soundstage that is captivating; musically poetic and full of atmosphere." - Sea of Tranquility

"White Willow's Terminal Twilight is a treatise in adventurous music, prog meets art rock meets orchestral and electronics in a perplexing and intriguing milieu. This is certainly not for the faint of heart or those stumbling over the next fluffy, sugar-coated, current music trend." - Dangerdog Music Reviews

"one of the most beautifully composed and yet perplexingly complex albums of 2011" - Infernal Masquerade

Cheers,
Jacob
