So the last couple of weeks have been pretty darn amazing for new releases. I've already talked a little about the new Otis Redding whilst I'm sure you don't need me to tell you about the new TV on the Radio or the new Mogwai - you can hardly turn on your interweb access point without reading a review (short review: Mogwai - amazing, TVOTR - quite good).
One new-to-me band with an album out is Brightblack Morning Light. The album in question, their second, is Motion to Rejoin. It's very laid back, perfect for a late night session. The obvious reference point is Spiritualised, only they've stripped away much of the gospel and added in hints of Blues and Americana.
Hologram buffalo:
The album stands up well as a whole; it subtly works it's way into your subconsious before dragging you down into it's carefully woven haze. The lyrics are... well they're definitely there, but they're not for these ears to work out. The publicity on the bands label page suggests the band are heavily in to ecological issues and saving the planet so one might guess they might be themes on the album.
