### **Nine Stones Close’s 2nd album of 2024 ‘Adventures in Anhedonia’ Out Now**

_Adventures in Anhedonia_ marks Nine Stones Close’s second album release in 2024,
following _Diurnal_, which came out in July to **general critical acclaim**. The
band was formed by **Adrian Jones**, who along with **Brendan Eyre** began writing
new material in early 2023 after a **long hiatus**. During this period, there were
no preconceived ideas of themes or styles; it was all about the **joy of creating
music again**. By the summer of 2023, the band hit a wave of productivity and inspiration,
leading to a **cathartic outpouring of music and words**.

Working mostly remotely from studios spread across Switzerland, England, Ireland,
and The Netherlands, the band members spent countless hours on video calls and interactive
sessions to bring the new music together. The completion of these efforts saw the
addition of new members **Lars Spijkervet** (drums) and **Joachim van Praagh** (
bass guitar), who contributed to finalizing the two albums.

_Adventures in Anhedonia_ is a deeply personal album, with the lyrics reflecting**
Adrian Jones’ mental state and his experiences over the past years**. Adrian explains,“**
It really reflects what’s been happening to me over the past years, the effect it’s
had on me, and how I have tried to deal with some of it**.”

The music diverges from _Diurnal_ in tone and feeling, aligning more closely with
the themes and emotions that inspired its creation. However, the band maintains 
the **signature Nine Stones Close sound** that fans have come to recognize. The 
album takes listeners on an engaging journey, from the soaring opener **‘Beach Walker’**
to the epic closing track **‘Plastic Animals’**.

With **Paul van Zeeland** again producing and mixing the record, the band’s sound
has evolved into a **stunning sonic landscape**. The production blends quiet, reflective,
and beautiful moments with soaring, powerful heaviness, all while emphasizing the**
highest sound quality and dynamics**. The band describes this album as some of the
most **diverse and engaging music** they have ever created.
