It\'s a new chapter in the band\'s history since their debut \"Polars\" appeared in 2003 for the first time. Again, the album and artwork are self-produced.

A lot has happened the past years; international tours, playing the Lowlands festival, a videoclip, a Nokia commercial, a MTV documentary, built their very own studio, and so on.

The release of \"Drawing Circles\" will be supported by two release-parties. Both parties are presented by Dutch metal magazine Aardschok. The first will be on April 13 in 013, Tilburg, the second on April 14 at Melkweg in Amsterdam (both in The Netherlands).

Textures have asked the Germans of the band/collective The Ocean, featuring Torge Ließmann on drums, to be their solid support during those two shows. The octet released their heavy-as-hell and doomy masterpiece \"Aeolian\" in 2005. The album was greatly received by the international press.

Comments drummer Stef Broks (photo) on behalf of the band:

\"We\'re now ready for a new round! Besides The Ocean, we want to give two Dutch bands to play in the renowned venues! There will be two winners in this contest, each to kick ass one evening with Textures and The Ocean.\"

You think your band should be supporting us? Kick your lazy ass and send a piece of your music with a biography to: Klaroenring 183, 4876 ZE Etten-Leur, with \'Textures Contest\' as subject.

The winners will be announced in April\'s edition of Aardschok which will hit the shelves March 21. Good luck!
