WIRED-THE NEW ALBUM

On October 8^th, 2021, Eclipse will release their 8^th studio album `Wired’, that has a lot of energy and positive vibes in the songs. Eric comments: ,,Well we did not have something like a big plan to start with. After a while we started to see this pattern in songwriting; all the songs were very up-tempo. Instead of writing a depressive record, because of the pandemic and all, we wrote the album we wanted to hear when everything, in a post Covid world, opens up.’’
