I'm not sure quite why I like this album so much considering every track on it basically follows the blueprint of all the slow Spiritualized songs (minus the noise bits)...actually that's probably the reason why I do like it so much. Brightblack Morning Light somehow manage to capture that feeling, translate it over nine tracks and, amazingly to their credit, keep it interesting. Refreshingly, its the slowing down that captures your attention more than you might expect. Band members Naybob Shineywater and Rachel Hughes, along with a set of fine guest musicians, recorded the album powered by solar panels at their hut on a mesa in New Mexico, which goes someway to explaining the sun-beaten, lo-fi sound and languid tempo.
