The Third Sound began as a solo project from Hákon Aðalsteinsson, formerly of Icelandic band Singapore Sling. The self titled debut album, of dark, fuzzed up psych tinted tracks held together by Hákon's deep vocals, was recorded in Rome with help from friend Francesco D'Onofrio. Hákon soon relocated to Berlin where The Third Sound evolved into a full 5 piece band and began performing live (current lineup; Hákon Aðalsteinsson, Robin Hughes, Antonio D'Orazio, Gerald Pasqualin & Ambroise Prieur). The Third Sound debut album was released on 'a' Recordings ltd., the label of Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe, who invited the band to open for BJM on their 2012 European tour. During a two week session in spring 2012 the band went into the studio to record The Third Sound of Destruction and Creation (released on July 26th 2013 by Fuzz Club Records), a more band focused effort that ranges from hypnotic soundscape ballads to tweaked out and fuzzed up numbers, layering both serene and abrasive guitars over husky vocals and locked in rhythms.
