Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2016
In my quest for ever more William Tyler,I ended up at Lightning (do stream WT's 'Blue Ash Montgomery' from this site...it is stupendous!...and don't faint at the appended price tag!!).
This is a record label but also a kind of 'life statement',if you will...the music and their ethos go hand in hand (music and life lived under the radar,or on the periphery).
This is the second Cy Dune release;a short EP but only minimal in length and not in attitude ("take no prisoners")or viewpoint (Neal Cassady comes to mind).Cy is a force of nature,it appears from these recordings,and long may he continue to be so...This record doesn't hit the ground running...more akin to already breaking the sound barrier...
All the other releases on this label are outstanding...do please check them out (and also Issue 1 of Lightning Magazine...a good article by Rhys Chatham among others).
Lightning releases don't come often but they are really worth the wait...
