We’re extremely proud to present you are first new single off ‘Darkling, I Listen’. Before we continue, why don’t you click that play button!

We’d hoped to present the finished EP today, but unfortunately we’re not quite ready yet. At the moment we’re working very hard on finishing the mix of the EP and putting the final touches on the artwork. We’ll show our members previews of the artwork very, very soon (which is looking more then awesome btw!).

As of December 5th, 2011we’ll make the complete EP available as a free stream for the public. On that date our members will receive their downloads as well. The hardcopies will be send out as soon as we get them from the pressing plant which will most likely be early January. The official presentation of ‘Darkling, I Listen’ will be held at the Belmont Bookings showcase during the annual Eurosonic music festival on January 13th, 2012.

We can’t wait to hear what you guys think of the new song!

Love,

The Black Atlantic

Our good friend Alexander Hanke (a.k.a. Unkel Hankey) made two beautiful silkscreen posters in a very limited edition for our gigs at Dockville Festival and Haldern Pop Festival. We’ve decided to give away one of each poster to one of our lucky members. We’ll even slap on some signatures if you want.

The Dockville poster already found a new home, so this time it’s all about the Haldern poster. If you want to own this beauty all you need to do is drop us a line in the comment section below this post (click HERE to go there). We’ll again randomly pick a winner.

If you’re not a member yet, you can simply sign up by (pre)ordering our EP in our shop. After that your membership is automatically activated.

That’s why we have decided to grant one lucky winner 2 guest list spots for our upcoming show in Middelburg on 16 December, together with our dear friends from Rue Royale (see picture) and Kim Janssen performing solo. Not only that, but the winner will also have the option to eat dinner with all of us beforehand. Food will be prepared by none other than local hero, and booker for De Spot, Tonnie Dieleman!

All you have to do is leave a comment. We will randomly pick a winner in a week or two. Good luck!

The video – it’s more like a short film! – was written and directed by Canadian couple Tracy Maurice and Matt Moroz who previously did videos for Arcade Fire, Islands, Wolf Parade , Handsome Furs and more. It was produced by Greencard Pictures in collaboration with Turbo Turbo and financed with help of the TAX videofonds.

The blind Sr. Mistu ran out of olives for his pizza. Together with his little guide dog Gaido he embarks on a small but epic journey. And along the way he listens to a wonderful new mix of our song ‘Dandelion’ especially arranged for this lovely game.

That’s why we have chosen for our next give away no less than 10 unique downloadcodes for the HD version of Sr. Mistu for the iPad. For a listen to the song and a sneak peek of the gameplay (non-HD) see this YouTube video.

You ready for some adventure?
Then leave a comment in our comment section to get yourself a free game.

We’ll pick ten winners in about two weeks’ time. Thanks!
