Stearica Posts New Track "Nur"

As Italy's Stearica sets the final details of the "Fertile" LP in place for release via Monotreme Records mid-month, Revolver Magazine is hosting a premiere of the album's "Nur" anthem, which boasts a rare bout of vocals for the instrumental trio, courtesy of Ryan Patterson, of Coliseum. Listen in below.

Stearica's intense sophomore album, "Fertile," features guest contributions from Colin Stetson (Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, Bon Iver) and Scott McCloud (Girls Against Boys) in addition to Coliseum's Ryan Patterson.

Issues Patterson on the convergence with the band: "In December 2007, Coliseum was added last minute to a bill in the small French town of Lille that included Stearica and Toronto's Lullaby Arkestra, the kind of beautifully diverse bill that happens too infrequently. Over a meal before the show, we all met and shared stories, a collective connection of bands who travel the world. We were welcomed with open arms.

"The thing I recall most about the evening was a genuine sense of camaraderie and sincere kindness from the folks in Stearica. We played our sets that night, all vastly different but with the connective tissue of sincerity and passion. These brief moments and memories stick with us. Years later, I was invited to lend my voice to a new Stearica song and gladly accepted. To take part in making music together, across oceans and many years after our first meeting, brings these memories back and rekindles friendships. I was an honor to be a part of Stearica's music."
