FIGURINES ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN RELEASE OF SELF-TITLED FOURTH FULL-LENGTH APRIL 12 ON THE CONTROL GROUP

February 3, 2011 // New York, NY – Denmark’s Figurines has announced that their self-titled fourth full-length is set to arrive in stores in North America on April 12 via The Control Group. It has been four years since Figurines released When The Deer Wore Blue, fresh on the heels of their acclaimed 2006 North America debut, Skeleton. The band wrapped up 2008 exhausted from extensive touring and two long-time members decided to quit music entirely. But time heals all wounds, and Figurines’ time off brought them back leaner, as a three-piece, and better than ever.

On a personal level the self-produced Figurines is a triumph. Musically the album reaches back to the immediacy of Skeleton while remaining close to the more complex When The Deer Wore Blue. Figurines have managed to return to a point where the songs' structures and extroversion are the focus. Opening track "Hanging From Above", sets the tone, with its skillful yet playful instrumentation and breezy, inviting chorus. From there "The Great Unknown" pulsates and pops with rock riffs, drive and soul. "New Colors", with its shuffled beat is nothing you've heard from Figurines before. And Christian Hjelm shows a new fervor on "We Got Away" and "Call Your Name".
The first single off Figurines, “New Colors”, will be made available later this month and the band will be returning to North America on tour in the Spring. Details
