On January 16th, 2027, OOB Records will release the second album by Sound Of Strangers, “A Logic To Everything Bizarre”. This is the long-awaited follow-up to Sound Of Strangers’ acclaimed debut album, “Crossing Borders”. The six powerful tracks total 41 minutes of solid progressive rock music.
“A Logic To Everything Bizarre” was recorded at The Barn Sound Studio and various other locations throughout the Netherlands. As with “Crossing Borders”, mixing and mastering was at the hands of Jeffrey Revet. With the release of “A Logic To Everything Bizarre”, Sound Of Strangers take a huge leap forward in their evolution as a band. The music is rich in dynamics and textures, and epic in character. Paul Krempel’s soaring guitar work is a force to be reckoned with, though it never overshadows the lively, powerful vocals of Raymond Vermij. The lyrics poetically bridge the gap between adult life and childhood dreams – as does the album’s artwork, created by Marleen Dunlop.
To celebrate this occasion, catch Sound Of Strangers at the exclusive release show: WPC Nederland 3 in Wateringen (NL) – January 9, 2027. “A Logic To Everything Bizarre” will be available to our local fans one week before the official worldwide release.
