Sonder by TesseracT

Sonder is the fourth studio album by English progressive metal band Tesseract. It is released on 20 April, 2018 through Kscope, following Polaris (2015). Sonder is the band's shortest studio album at 36 minutes in length. Tesseract began recording the album in 2017, releasing its first single, "Smile", on 23 June with the intention of reworking it for Sonder. The album's lead single, "Luminary", was released on the album's announcement date on 8 February, 2018. Sonder is Tesseract's first album with a consecutive vocalist between albums, being Daniel Tompkins who first appeared on their debut studio album, One (2011), and later Polaris. A concept album, Sonder was described by vocalist Tompkins as "exploring a deep and devouring sense of insignificance". "Smile" was released by the band on 23 June, 2017 and was described as their "most collaborative track in recent times" but was intended to be reworked and extended for the album. The album was originally announced on 8 February, 2018 with the simultaneous release of its lead single, "Luminary", and the music video for "King" being released on 16 March, directed by Kyle Kadow and Steven Cleavland in Wisconsin. ℗ 2018 Kscope
