/// Brutal. Groovy. Uncompromising. This is Stick Men.

The genre-defying trio KOMARA returns with KOMARA II, a powerful new release that pushes sound boundaries and challenges musical convention. Featuring King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, avant-garde guitarist David Kollar, and visionary trumpeter Paolo Raineri, the album blends ambient textures, industrial grit, and jazz-infused improvisation into a haunting, cinematic experience.

Special guests include Arve Henriksen, Deborah Carter Mastelotto and sound designer Bill Munyon, adding further depth to the album's rich, experimental palette. As with their first album, this release is visually anchored by a striking cover design from Tool guitarist and visual artist Adam Jones.

The band will perform several shows this summer in Europe with Pat's former King Crimson bandmate Trey Gunn joining the band.

Komara Il is available in as a 4 panel CD wallet.

For Valentine's Day, 7D Media is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of "Tu-Ner for Lovers," a new CD from the ensemble of Pat Mastelotto, Markus Reuter, and Trey Gunn. Scheduled for release on May 3rd, this album is a prelude to the much-anticipated US Tu-Ner tour in May.

"Tu-Ner for Lovers" is taken from their live shows in 2023. It weaves together an immersive audioscape that blends the churning rhythms of Mastelotto, the dripping touch guitar layers of Reuter, and the seductive Warr Guitar of Gunn.

This album is not just music; it's an invitation to experience love and intimacy through a progressive rock prism, making it the perfect gift for your special someone this Valentine's Day and a wonderful precursor to their live performances.

SPECIAL NOTE: Each week we will be uploading a new track to this album until its final release on May 3, 2024.
