Crone - Gotta Light? - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With their sophomore full-length InchGotta Light?Inch, dark rock innovators Crone are cruising in a high octane fuelled hotrod. Channelling their personal musical inspirations that range from ALICE IN CHAINS, via KILLING JOKE, NEW MODEL ARMY, and JOY DIVISION to PINK FLOYD among many others, the Germans leave their very own and personal mark on the genre that has been brought back to the forefront of interest by acts such as GHOST in recent years. While composer, guitarist, and singer Phil Jonas had felt tired, burned out, and empty, working on new songs for Crone provided the spark that kindled the firestorm of fresh ideas and led to the creation of InchGotta Light?Inch. The album title was inspired by the haunting eighth episode of David Lynch's masterpiece TV series InchTwin PeaksInch. A corresponding element of the mysterious and surreal permeates all of the new songs that revolve around topics such as the hope of receiving signals from the afterlife ('Waiting for Ghosts'), shattered dreams ('Abyss Road'), and a guiding last will ('Gemini'). Crone was conceived out of a musical collaboration between Phil InchsGInch Jonas and EMBEDDED drummer and guitarist Markus Renzenbrink. Both musicians wanted to explore musical horizons beyond the metal limits of their regular bands at the time. As a result the InchGehennaInch EP was released in 2014 and sparked a first wave of interest. Critics labelled the first effort post-rock, post-punk, and even as shoegaze. The well-received debut full-length 'Godspeed' hit the streets in 2018 and it's more focussed and consistent songs got often filed under Inchpost-rockInch. With Crone having been elevated to the main band of each protagonist, the band's renewed focus and urgency is clearly audible on InchGotta Light?Inch. With Christian Schmidt a permanent keyboard player has been added to the line-up that now also features lead guit

Elsa Hewitt is a London-based music producer and writer hailing from Sussex, via Yorkshire. Beginning as a young singer-songwriter producing demos on a four-track, she progressed through fronting post-punk bands and solo electronic songwriting, all the while developing a passion for album-making which would ultimately lead her to electronic production, establishing her name producing avant-garde, experimental & ambient, leftfield dance, and lo-fi, psychedelia. Since her 2017 official debut 'Cameras From Mars', stepping onto the scene as a Future Bubbler and Lynsey de Paul Prize winner, Hewitt has amassed a series of distinct yet interlinked philosophical worlds; each one holding it's own tones of joyful beauty and abstract darkness. With a boundless approach to merging elements of dance & ambient, Hewitt's adventurous approach remains pinned by her earthy voice, idiosyncratic songwriting style and sharply poetic lyricism.
