Electric Litany return with their fourth album Desires, a work that encapsulates more than 15 years of musical exploration and evolution. The album was released on October 17 across all digital platforms by Flying Hearts worldwide and by Inner Ear in Greece. It will also be released on vinyl on November 28 by Inner Ear, alongside the vinyl reissue of their second album Enduring Days You Will Overcome, co-produced by Alan Parsons.

In an era where the boundaries between truth and illusion are increasingly blurred, Desires turns its gaze toward the notion of authenticity and poses the question: if reality is constructed, does it matter what is real? The album blends the atmospheric intensity and melodic sensitivity that define the band with a more experimental sonic approach, across 10 new tracks.

Electric Litany made their entry onto the international scene in 2010 with their debut album How to Be a Child and Win the War, which earned excellent reviews and led to a European tour, including supporting Interpol. In Greece, their presence was solidified in 2015 with their performance on the main stage of the Rockwave Festival in Athens, alongside acts such as The Prodigy and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Their second album, Enduring Days You Will Overcome, was co-produced by the legendary Alan Parsons, who described them as “the next Radiohead.” Their 2019 release Under a Common Sky further strengthened their international reputation, confirming their place as one of the most distinctive voices in the European alternative scene.

Based in London, Electric Litany continue to explore their sound, balancing the organic with the electronic, the dark with the lyrical. Their fourth album, Desires, marks a new chapter — a work that is both deeply personal and collective, crafted with dedication and commitment to their artistic identity.

Kepler is Free are a jazz-rock band from Athens incorporating influences from nu-jazz, alternative hip-hop, and experimental electronica. Formed in 2018, the band is comprised of Giorgos Migdanis (guitar), Nik Nugent (keys), Vasilis Alexopoulos (bass), Spyros Zardas (trumpet), and Panos Georgakopoulos (drums).

With two albums to date — Teegarden (2020) and Second Light (2023) — they continue to chart a path between composition, improvisation, and contemporary alternative sound. Both albums were released on vinyl by Veego Records, with their debut Teegarden selling out, while their music has received airplay on both Greek and international radio, steadily reaching audiences beyond Greece.

Their collaboration with iconic rapper LEX — on the cover of Spike Lee and the recent single Spasmeni Fleva (“Broken Vein”), the title track of Yannis Oikonomidis’ new film — highlights the natural versatility of their sound and their willingness to navigate across different musical worlds.

Kepler is Free perform in major venues across Athens, culminating in 2024 when they opened for BADBADNOTGOOD, marking a significant chapter in Greece’s alternative and jazz scene.
