Crammed is proud to present Vapour Trails, the latest studio album from cult legends Tuxedomoon.

Pursuing the creative trails first blazed on 2004’s Cabin in the Sky and 2006’s Bardo Hotel, Vapour Trails was composed while being recorded in a series of sessions between the Acropolis and the pilgrim road to the Eleusian fields in Athens, Greece in 2006.

Vapour Trails finds the members, vocalist, clarinetist, saxophonist and keyboarder Steven Brown, bassist and producer Peter Principle, vocalist, violinist, guitarist and laptop botherer Blaine L. Reininger and trumpetist Luc van Lieshout in top form, exploiting their mature vision and instrumental skills to the full. They load their eclectic pallet with a wide and surprising variety of styles and influences, and sing in the languages of the many places they have lived or visited, singing this time not only in English, but in Greek, Spanish, and languages of their own devising. Vapour Trails was produced and mixed by the winning team of Athens’ Coti K. and New York’s Peter Principle, also responsible for Tuxedomoon’s previous two albums.

After living together in Brussels, Belgium for the greater part of the '80s and '90s, Tuxedomoon fled to distant corners of the planet. Steven Brown now lives in Mexico, Blaine L. Reininger in Greece, and Peter Principle in New York. Only Luc van Lieshout remains in Belgium. Being so far apart from one another has dictated that they live and work in what they call “the post-national style”, dependent upon modern means of communication while remaining true to the call of a timeless esthetic that only they define.Vapour Trails happens to come out in the year of the 30th anniversary of Tuxedomoon.
