In Hearts Wake专辑介绍：Byron Bay’s In Hearts Wake have announced the release of their fourth album, ‘Ark‘ on May 26th via UNFD. ‘Ark‘ follows on from their highly successful ‘Skydancer‘ (2015) & ‘Earthwalker‘ (2014) albums that saw them undertake multiple US runs including Vans Warped Tour, and stints supporting Parkway Drive and August Burns Red. They have also taken the fight to European festivals such as Download, Graspop, Groezrock, Vainstream, successfully toured South East Asia and are becoming bigger than ever at home in Australia. The band will embark on their biggest and only Australian headline tour of 2017 in July. Those dates were recently announced, and are not surprisingly filling up quickly as they are joined by While She Sleeps, Crossfaith and Polaris. Scroll down for a reminder of the dates. “No matter what side of the world we live on, water connects us all,” says Jake. “Every living thing, and every human being that ever was or will be, is born of water. The plasma in our blood is 92% water, our brains 75%, and even our bones are 30% water. The same water that shapes our Earth is the same water within each of us. “This record is an ode to the Ark, that is our ocean planet. Just like a ship, if one part is compromised, all life is threatened. What happens on one side of the world affects the other. If we don’t work together to repair our home and restore the integrity of its natural resources, we will all go down with the ship. Since water is our lifeblood, it needs to be respected, protected, and acknowledged not only as a basic human right, but as an essential human need.“ In conjunction with the release of ‘Ark‘, In Hearts Wake have joined forces with Tangaroa Blue for We Are Waterborne: An In Hearts Wake Initiative to lead a series of waterway clean-ups in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and at home in Byron Bay. Marine debris is one of the major environmental issues worldwide and the band are calling upon their fans to join them in these clean-ups, as well as encouraging fans to form their own clean up crews to tackle their local problem waterways.
