VON HERTZENS ARE ON ‘RED ALERT’

The Von Hertzen Brothers release their first album in more than four years this spring. Red Alert In The Blue Forest comes out on March 18 via Doing Being.

The Finnish band produced their eighth album with executive producer James Spectrum, that, “We wanted to make something different from [2017’s] , which was very riffy and full-on. We felt we should do something with more air inside the music, with the emphasis on nuance and dynamics. There are three 10-minute songs and it’s proggy in a way, but not the kind of prog where everything is going on at the same time. It’s just guys playing their music and building things up, not caring about the length of the song.”
