More Info Episches Album des Londoner Gitarren-Droners, der mit AT LAST A NEW DAWN ein sehr dunkel-melancholisches Werk geschaffen hat, voller versteckter sublimer Harmonien im geisterhaften Drone-Meer. " "At Last a New Dawn" is a double disc set of truly epic proportions. It constitutes the first new recordings by Peter Wright released to CD since 2004's "Yellow Horizon," and is, without a doubt, a radiant high point, perhaps even the pinnacle, of his distinguished and exceptional discography. All of the familiar and wonderous Wright touchstones are present here in pristine form: a wealthof gorgeous, ghostly guitar drones and swells, and impeccably employed field recordings from manifold fascinating sources. Also worth noting is the emergence of some slightly harsher sounds found here, a divergence from the traditionally pastoral nature of much of Wright's catalog. This is reflective of Peter's current live setup, which employs increased overdrive and distortion. The album's title is, Peter asserts, a 'vauge reference to undying optimism in the face of gloom.' Many of the track titles too reflect a contemplation of death, pain, loss and tragedy. In fact, one of the tracks, 'Blue Light District,' was recorded on July 7th, 2005, the morning of the London terrorist attacks, its title referencing the rash of emergency vehicles swarming throughout the city in the wake of the violence. This is the sound of misery and death, and ultimately, of hope and redemption." [label description] label-website: www.studentsofdecay.com
