Damiera have detailed their sophomore full length and first album since breaking and then unbreaking up. The band self-recorded and self-produced the album. The record is titled Quiet Mouth, Loud Hands and is due out June 24, 2008. It is the follow-up to M(US)ic [reissue] which was released in 2007.
As for the sound, the band notes:
Primarily, there is far more instrumentation. There are songs that are
obvious DAMIERA guitar lines and rhythms - but there are songs that I'm
sure anyone who knows DAMIERA's music won't believe to be on the same
record.
