The majority of heroin addicts have always mentioned that doing the drug itself is like being wrapped in cotton wool and once the come down takes effect, your body suffers the withdrawal symptoms and needs to be refilled quickly to endure the pleasure of the highs on offer once indulged.
Brightblack Morning Light fronted by the laid back vocal skills of Nathan Shineywater and the divine intervention of best friend Rachael Hughes is simply herion in music form that if played once, will trap you into an aural paradise that seems to slowly melt your inner system. This record is by far the most baked record you will hear this year, in fact so laid back that the composers are alleged to not even have a fixed address and instead reside in tents in the wilderness of Humboldt County, CA.
The music itself is based around soft keyboard riffs, drugged-out reverbed vocals, trumpets, fantastic percussion and slide guitars that all blend to make an ethereal soundscape that can only be described as pure bliss. Although tracks such as ‘Everybody Daylight’, ‘Friend of Time’, ‘Fry Bread’ and ‘Black Feather Wishes Rise’ stand out, the entire album has this cosmic energy that encapsulates you so much that it’s one of those albums that you have to hear from start to finish to get the full effect.
This album is a must if you like to relax and also is sensual enough to have on when you spend some love time with your favourite squeeze. Music is the best drug known to man, go pick this up, it’s out now.

Those Swedes are a funny bunch aren’t they? What with all their Ikea and Volvos, any race that counts rotten fish as a delicacy has to be a bit weird. Still, all that rotten fish must be good for something as Sweden keep throwing out some of the best talent around in metal today and tonight, Academy 3 plays host to one of the much loved and much admired bands of the genre, Soilwork.
