"...a new full-length [from Bang Gang] is something to get excited about." - Stereogum

"['Out Of Horizon' is] endlessly infectious...it's gorgeous guitar-led noise, and serves as a mighty taster of Bang Gang's upcoming record." - The Line of Best Fit

"The release is a big deal...Bang Gang is still just as haunted/haunting as before, making the kind of music that sounds better on the darkened streets of Reykjavik than in any club." - MTV Iggy

"['Out Of Horizon' is] an icy track, full of chilly moments of pop bliss..." - We All Want Someone To Shout For

"'No regrets' advises ['Out Of Horizon'], an entrancing demonstration of what Bang Gang's indie pop is made of...Johannsson encourages the message with such grace not a pinch of cliché made it into this brew." - Audiofemme

"Pure shoe-gaze pop bliss." - Speakers In Code

Blown in by Reykjavik's icy winds and guided by the bewitching Northern Lights, Iceland's own Bardi Johannsson announces the details of the long-awaited new Bang Gang album. Entitled The Wolves Are Whispering and out in the U.S. on May 19th, this album is Bang Gang's first in over 7 years. The album features guest vocals by Helen Marnie (Ladytron), Keren Ann (Lady & Bird), Jofridur Akadottir (Samaris, Pascal Pinon) and Bloodgroup. PRESS HERE<http://www.stereogum.com/1733319/bang-gang-out-of-horizon-stereogum-premiere/mp3s/> to listen to the album's soaring and melodic lead single "Out Of Horizon" via Stereogum, and PRESS HERE<http://noisey.vice.com/blog/bang-gang-out-of-horizon-remix> to listen to the world premiere of the single's Daniel Hunt/Ladytron remix, exclusively via Noisey.

Though it's been nearly a decade since the last Bang Gang record, Ghosts From The Past, the brooding Icelandic composer Bardi Johannsson has kept busy with multiple projects. His recent collaborations include the electro-pop duo Starwalker with Jean-Benoît Dunckel of Air and Lady and Bird with French songstress Keren Ann. Johannsson has also scored numerous films and documentaries including David Guy Levy's Would You Rather (with Daniel Hunt), and the French success De Toutes Nos Forces, directed by Nils Tavernier.
