They don't know a thing of what's next
But I'm not here to say
What should be done about this
I just lift my eyes to watch

Chosen as the cover photo for the new album "The Obscurants" by Duncan Patterson's band "Alternative 4".
Alternative 4 - The Obscurants
"The fight for disclosure and justice"
With "The Obscurants", Alternative 4 - the current main sphere of Duncan Patterson (ex Anathema, ex Antimatter) - release their second full-length album and continue the line of enquiry that began with their debut "The Brink" in 2011. Like its predecessor, "The Obscurants" stands out due to Patterson's particular songwriting style, which is occasionally echoing the works of his previous bands, yet it is offering his most mature and sophisticated material to date. The album explores avenues such as soft 1960s tremolo vibes, analogue synths and vocoders, to cranked up distorted guitars, with new lead singer Simon Flatley's crooner-like vocals perfectly completing the album's musical expression. Lyrically "The Obscurants" turns out to be a thought-provoking concept album on the subject of cover ups. Be it the media, police, government, or personal deceptions, it's about the obscuring of the

This is terrifying. How did you come to take this picture? Is there a story behind it?

I happened to take this photo by pure chance, or more precisely: the photo of the mosquitos. They caught me off-guard while I was shooting random landscape photos. The finished image is an overlay of two photos and a self-made texture, and my intention was to convey a feeling of obscurity and uncertainty.

Das hier ist auch ein fantastisches Foto Darf ich fragen, was du - falls du es kennen solltest - von LIMBO hΓ€lst? Ich habe das GefΓΌhl, es wΓΌrde sehr zu deiner Art passen :3

Danke. Haha, Du bist nicht der erste, der meine Bilder mit LIMBO in Verbindung bringt (vor allem zu meinen nebligen Waldbildern habe ich einige solcher Kommentare erhalten). Ich muss gestehen, dass ich das Spiel nicht kannte, bevor ich darauf hingewiesen wurde, dass meine Bilder eine Γ€hnliche AtmosphΓ€re haben. Aber mittlerweile mag ich es sehr!
