Harborlights - Isolation Ritual - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. Harborlights is a post-rock band from the North Shore of Massachusetts. Since their formation they've released two split EPs (with Ember Wreath and Superblonde respectively) and the powerful debut album Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree (2017). Full-length follow-up Isolation Ritual was recorded by Mike Moschetto at The Record Co. And Zach Weeks at God City Studios (who also handled mastering duties on the album). Opener InchHold the DarkInch emerges amid delicate melody before InchEternal ReturnInch drenches us with a downpour of shoe-gaze emotion. Instrumentals InchSkinwalkerInch and InchA Stable MindInch pulse and dance like a soundtrack to a movie that never was. While InchFrom Virtue (Sacrament),Inch InchYear Without a SummerInch and InchEgo IdealInch reintroduce beautifully haunting vocals that deepen their creative well. It's not all pretty though, Inch... And Hell FollowedInch and InchSigh from the DepthsInch in combination are dirge and discordance on display at a masterclass level. All of this leads to closer InchThe Unbearable Lightness of BeingInch which features guest vocals from TJ Copello of Aviator. An 8 minute epic where the incredible dynamic repertoire of Harborlights impressively shines.
