Swedish post-punk/shoegaze act Principe Valiente released a brand new single "Inspired By Me", taken from the upcoming fifth album entitled In This Light, which will be released via Metropolis Records on 5 May. Marking a bold evolution in the group's decade-plus journey, ten meticulously crafted new songs lay bare the signature ethereal soundscapes and dreamy ambient allure that initially propelled them onto the alternative scene with the release of their self-titled 2011 debut album.
In This Light is a symphony of mellotrons, samplers and analogue synths harmonising with the celestial resonance of Rickenbacker 12-string and Gretsch guitars played by Jimmy Ottosson, further enriched by melodic piano and distinctively distorted driving bass all enveloped in the enigmatic voice of singer Fernando Honorato. "Inspired By Me" follows the new album's introductory single, "Something New", which signalled a shift in direction for the current duo line-up with its dream-pop approach. Both singles are below.
