David Fischer Aaaand there goes my 'metal cred' again, down the drain and deep into the bin. So be it! Thanks to a certain friend who told me of this project, I am now familiar with WMBB. The vocal capacity of Daniel Tompkins is spectacular to behold, and his female counterpart Jordan Bethany reminds me of Laura Brehm incredibly often (which is one of the highest compliments I can pay to a female vocalist). Atone conveys a relaxing and, at times, meditative ambience to free your head and descend into. Favorite track: The Sage.

TONY ZAGORAIOS Daniel Tompkins is a true mastermind!! He keeps evolving musically through different projects and collaborations. An excellent album again from WMBB, full of ethereal vocals, textures and a great poetic atmosphere!!

Alice M. The softer side of Tesseract’s Daniel Tompkins and a bunch of other talented people (omg those absurdly cute female vocals).
More consistent than the debut album IMHO, so give this a try if you were hesitating. Favorite track: Rising Sun.

TESSERACT AND SKYHARBOR SONGWRITERS SECOND ALBUM, ATONE

"a fascinating, multi-dimensional piece of pop music, a layered, textured document of unbridled musicality." CLASH

A team of songwriters based worldwide and at the height of their own scenes, who met through working on the Indian Rock band Skyharbor, White Moth Black Butterfly have joined forces to create their second album, Atone. Singer Daniel Tompkins began WMBB as a creative outlet aside from writing for UK progressive rock band TesseracT, indulging in his other musical influences from Massive Attack, Enigma, Sigur Ros, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Tool, Dredg and Thrice. After growing Skyharbor as one of India's biggest rock bands with songwriter Keshav Dhar, including taking the stage with acts such as Lamb of God and Deftones, the pair collaborated on Tompkins' new Contemporary Pop project with progressive and experimental music at its heart.

Atone, the new album from WMBB, is masterfully built on organic, textured and cinematic sounds, with two opposing themes of loss and hope. Tompkins explains - "Whilst songs like "Tempest" and "Atone" focus on faith and forgiveness, others like "Rising Sun" and "An Ocean Away" linger on love and nostalgia; throwing the listener into a bygone world of having less and caring more. The front cover artwork captures the beauty of nature and the harsh realities of life: power and dominance. White Moth Black Butterfly represents that very same struggle."

The album was recorded across the globe at studios in India, the UK, US and Taiwan, bringing in their international roster of performers. This included the band's other writers: Randy Slaugh, the producer and string arranger for Skyharbor in the US, who has also worked with Devin Townsend, Architects and Periphery; and co-singer and lyricist Jordan Turner.
