----- Inner Ear's Press Release:

Inner Ear proudly announces the release of the long awaited sophomore album of Electric Litany, entitled "Enduring Days You Will Overcome". Four years after their debut album "How To Be A Child And Win The War", Electric Litany return with a unique album that was definitely worth waiting for.

"Enduring Days You Will Overcome" is the fruit of a difficult and stagnant era. However, confirming every word of its title, it's proof that the conscious perseverance of creation is the solution to overcome the problems and move forward. The album rises from the ashes of a lo-fi world, maintaining the lyricism and the characteristic "haunting" atmosphere of Electric Litany. The album expresses love, dedication and patience, which lead to beauty, creation and liberation. Simultaneously it records the practical difficulties and the everyday problems of life and survival as experienced by the band the last 3.5 years during which this album was recorded.

In 2012 the band contacted legendary producer Alan Parsons who, after hearing "How To Be A Child And Win The War" agreed to collaborate with the band. The recordings were an adventure "hosted" in several London based studios as well as a studio in the Welsh countryside and the island of Corfu. Mastering once again took place at Abbey Road Studios.

"Enduring Days You Will Overcome" is released on vinyl, special edition cd and digital album from Inner Ear.

----- Electric Litany's Bio:

London-based band Electric Litany formed in the spring of 2007.

They spent 3 years writing and rehearsing in derelict public buildings before recording their debut album live within three days in an abandoned church in North London.

Eerie vocals, creeping guitar delays, robotic rhythms and distorted synths are some of the elements that characterise the nostalgic, lo-fi post-rock sound of Electric Litany.

"How To Be A Child And Win The War" was released in 2010 and quickly received great reviews and the devotion of an eclectic audience. The release was followed by concerts in Europe where these audiences shared a unique experience.

Their long-awaited sophomore album showcases a collaboration with legendary producer Alan Parsons and is set to be released across Europe in February 2014 via Inner Ear. A month earlier (15/1) they will perform at the prestigious Eurosonic Festival in the Netherlands.

The band currently consists of: Alexandros Miaris (vocals, guitars, piano, synths, cello), Richard Simic (drums, percussion), Benjamin Prince (synths) and Alex Deligiannidis (bass).
