Regarding the new album stream, HARK main-man Jimbob Isaac comments: “With ‘Crystalline’ we hope that you can hear a new band with an old soul. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy, and we hope the ‘do or die’ ethos behind this band and record connects with people on all levels. To pursue art and music, is to expand our consciousness, is to purge and is our two fingers up to those who say we can’t. Awaken, all ye algorithmic soul seekers, crystalline realization awaits you.”
HARK have also announced a European tour. Dubbed the “Nations to Flames European Tour”, the trek will see HARK travel across various territories, with a stop at the Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands on April 12th. The band will play alongside A STORM OF LIGHT.
