A five-piece band isnÕt something youÕd expect to be linked to drum and bass label Med School but The ErisedÕs elegant approach adds yet another string to Med SchoolÕs forward-thinking bow.
A unique collective from Ukraine, The Erised includes drum & bass producers Detail and Hidden Element, dancer turned singer/songwriter Sonya together with a collective of jazz, rock and pop musicians.
The bandÕs impressive 2015 debut release, the ÒDesireÓ EP, included the supremely popular ÒPrayÓ and ÒItÕs OverÒ, immediately capturing the attention of music fans across Europe and beyond.
Fast forward one year and The Erised are set to unveil their debut album, 'Room 414', a mature, impassioned creation that explores the band's vast emotional landscape. Sonya's voice is more absorbing than ever before, delicately crafting tales of sorrow and heartbreak before seducing the listener with her trademark, mesmerising choruses.
The Erised's moody instrumental textures capture a fine balance between tragic and euphoric, fire and water, spring and autumn. No track is the same, as every minute passes, a different part of the story is told.
'Room 414' is a landmark moment for both the band and the label, as all involved take a step into the unknown with this truly magnificent album.
