About the record

Nostalgia For The Absolute is Arms and Sleepers' 12th official release, and the 1st of 2011. Deliberately planned for the transitional period between winter and spring, this short album evokes not only the romanticism and darkness of the unforgiving cold season, but also the excitement and hope of the nascent warm season.

Written and recorded over a course of two years, Nostalgia For The Absolute finds the band further exploring their modern-classical and ambient leanings, both an homage to and an expansion on their previous effort of similar nature, Cinematique. Wordless, concise and melancholy, this is a release that has focus but is not afraid to breathe — a perfect soundtrack for the sleepless, the contemplative and the nostalgic.

Nostalgia For The Absolute is the first in a series of albums and EPs to be released by Arms and Sleepers in 2011, and acts as an introductory piece to the 3rd official full-length, out in May also via Expect Candy.
