- New album from WMBB's Daniel Tompkins. Listen now danieltompkins.lnk.to/Castles
The songwriters behind TesseracT and Skyharbor unveil their second album - "Atone" - found.ee/WMBB_ATONE
This is 'Serpent', the first track to be released from the album, OUT NOW on Kscope!
Kscope are extremely proud to announce that White Moth Black Butterfly have joined the label’s roster and the release of the band’s new album Atone on 1st September.
On bringing White Moth Black Butterfly into the Kscope family Daniel Tompkins comments “WMBB signing to Kscope is nothing short of a privilege. We feel we have truly found the right home, where we can grow and develop with the help of a respected and hardworking team of people.”
White Moth Black Butterfly are a contemporary pop project with progressive and experimental music at its heart; initially created by Daniel Tompkins as a creative outlet aside from his writing with TesseracT to indulge in his other musical influences ranging from Massive Attack, Enigma, Sigur Ros, David Bowie, Michael Jackson to Tool, Dredg and Thrice.
On the evolution of White Moth Black Butterfly Daniel explains “What started out as a creative outlet has blossomed into a fully-fledged musical project. Writing music with Keshav, Randy and Jordan has been an inspiring and invigorating process and one that has allowed us to explore new sounds through contemporary vocal work and organic instrumentation.”
The album is masterfully built on organic, textured and cinematic soundscapes, 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."

I can't believe I just discovered this project until 2023, love it

Surreal voice. Her voice is like glass, so fragile, it'll crack and spread into a billion pieces if she wanted to. Exceptional.
I love Jordan's voice

She's wonderful, isn't she?
Tesseract fan, never got into older songs of this project, until now. The sound has really developed into something special, New album to look forward to!

Rising Sun was amazing though. other than that i agree

Thanks TesseracT for sharing this to us.
As much as I love the vocals, I would love to hear an instrumental version in all of its individual complexity.

We've been created in peace
And I will eat from every branch
While you are following me
And I know that this is dangerous
Trying to find
Some excuse to keep you in the dark
You see my crime
And you tell me that you know
That this is dangerous
Here the cold to the night
Is crawling with the bitter delight
Trust in light, and you'll find
There's nothing to guide us,
guide us
And you say, and you say, and you say
That there's no other
And things will never be the same
And you say, and you say
Don't be shameful of each other
But now it has to be this way
I've been calling the name
To lead me in the dark
Lead me in the dark
I've been calling the name
To lead me in the dark
In the night, in the night
There's a figure that comes
In the form of a light In the night,
In the night
Oh I'll find you in the night
Here the cold to the night
Is crawling with the bitter delight
Trust in light, and you'll find
There's nothing to guide us,
guide us
And you say, and you say, and you say
That there's no other,
and things will never be the same
And you say, and you say
Don't be shameful of each other
But now it has to be this way
Looking forward drawing with this song

Jordan
Woah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sick stuff guys!
yep, Sounds beautiful.
Beautiful mind travel release :)
Thanks, Spotify
Big smile on my face D
really really good
Does anyone else hear a Porcupine Tree influence?
Other then the drop tuning of the guitars, not really...
The intro of this song sounds inspired by Opeth’s “Damnation” album.
I do actually
This stabs my heart 💀💀
Reminds me of song(s) from the late 90s and early 2000 . K's choice anyone ?
Quite beautiful song anyway .
Sounds similar to "The Sound of Muzak" by Porcupine Tree
Only alternative prog peeps understand!!!
Took me a while to figure it out but the bit "there's a figure that comes, in the form of a light" (??) Is pretty much the same melody and pacing as "there's a voice in my head, says I'm better off dead" in Bring Me The Horizon's "Happy Song".
Great songs both. Love this.
Blayney1989 i totally heard that too!
SeliRico95 glad I'm not the only one!
this is Eve singing to someone that i havent figured out.
Straight outta Winterfell
Would somebody please help me with the lyrics of this song? I can't figure it out, english is not my native language XD!
*Updated lyrics with the CD insert*
We've been created in peace
And I will eat from every branch
While you are following me
And I know that this is dangerous
Trying to find
Some excuse to keep you in the dark
You've seen my crimes
And you tell me that you know that this is dangerous
Hear the call through the night
It's crawling with a bitter delight
Trust in lies, and you'll find
There's nothing to guide us, guide us
And you say, and you say, and you say
That there's no other
And things will never be the same
And you say, and you say
We'll be shameful of each other
But now it has to be this way
I've been calling your name
To meet me in the dark
Meet me in the dark
I've been calling your name
To meet me in the dark
In the night, in the night
There's a figure that comes
In the form of a light
In the night, in the night
Oh I'll find you in the night
Hear the call through the night
It's crawling with a bitter delight
Trust in lies, and you'll find
There's nothing to guide us, guide us
And you say, and you say, and you say
That there's no other, and things will never be the same
And you say, and you say
We'll be shameful of each other
But now it has to be this way
Thank you so much Matthew! I managed to decipher some parts, but not the entire song itself. :)
Thanks so much for that dude! I love the song even more now XD!
I got something a bit different. It could go either way though.
We’ve been created in peace
And I will eat from every branch
While you are following me
And I know that this is dangerous
Trying to find
Some excuse to keep you in the dark
You see my crime
And you tell me that you know that this is dangerous.
Hear their call to the night
Is crawling with the bitter delight
Trust in lies and you’ll find
There’s nothing to guide us
Guide us
And you say and you say and you say
That there’s no other
And things will never be the same
And you say and you say
Don’t be shameful of each other
But now it has to be this way
I’ve been calling your name
Don’t leave me in the dark
Lead me in the dark
I’ve been calling your name
Don’t leave me in the dark
In the night
In the night
There’s a figure that comes
In the form of a light
In the night
In the night
In the night
Oooh, I’ll find you in the night
Hear their call to the night
Is crawling with the bitter delight
Trust in lies and you’ll find
There’s nothing to guide us
Guide us
And you say and you say and you say
That there’s no other
And things will never be the same
And you say and you say
Don’t be shameful of each other
But now it has to be this way
You might have had some trouble because of the hipster accent Jordan sings with. They’re very confused vowel sounds, which is all part of this style unfortunately.
"And you say we'll be shameful of each other, but now it has to be this way" can you explain a bit ?
I think the lyrics are referencing the Biblical "Fall from Grace" in the Garden of Eden, from the Book of Genesis
Those antelopes are creepy.
Oh deer...
Those blinking eyelids ....
They actually look like a moth
Looks like 9 people are die hard Justin Bieber fans who only understand shitty pop music.
This one here got me trippin. Thank you WMBB.
It would be more than fair to mention the singer of the song ;)
Hi, the singers in this project are Jordan Turner and myself. We're effectively a duet in WMBB. Read more -
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.
If I could have just one minor gripe, I would have appreciated lyrics on the screen
Who does sing this song?
Did you know there's a band called Black Moth Super Rainbow?
To whoever is musically smart and motivated: is there a mode change in this song or a key change? Idk
Nah it's all in the same key. There is a melody change when Dan comes in that makes it sound more major but it's all in the same modality.
how is it the first song to be released from the album when we have already heard Rising Sun?
Maybe Rising Sun will be a renewed(remastered/remake) song for the new Album, remember It was released on 2014.
Rajat Sharma yeah that wasn't the official version. They weren't on a label than either
Whattah great band but no live concerts or videos, so sad and angry
The drums could have sounded better, but really nice vocals with a beautiful vibe
Amazing job guys 👍
The one on the left looks so sleepy. Take a break buddy.
This is such an awesome song, but I can’t get into the hipster vocals.
Hipster?
This video is so ill - that i have to dislike it.
No TesseracT 2/10
beautiful
