Artist: Life Toward Twilight
Title: An Eclipse
Release: 05/2003

Re-Issued: 05/2008

An overcast sky. Clouds move past the glowing white orb of the moon. Sometimes languid swimmers on holiday, sometimes warriors marching towards battle. The moon stands, guardian or sentry, it stands and watches. Between the passersby it looks down on the cities, the lakes, prairies and fields. It looks down on the forests of young scrub trying to repopulate. It looks down on the solitary, old giants who somehow outlived the genocide.

“An Eclipse” is Life Toward Twilight’s third album, originally a limited release in 2003. It is the sound of confusion and regret, longing and beauty, calling to the listener to feel with it.

Go to the Bottle Imp Music Store to purchase this album on CD.

Reviews

By The Silent Ballet:

It begins with a slow-pulsing drone of grey clouds, evoking that feeling of pause one gets when stopped near a solitary street lamp, while exploring a sleeping city. Nocturnal whirs and swaths of bowed metal join a distant melange of singing bowls as the dominant ‘Om’ drone weaves subterranean tones at a lugubrious pace. The ominous nature of some of these sounds are kept at arm’s length and don’t sound either bright or overly dark. It’s dark, but not freak-out-dark, like if you can imagine how an abandoned building won’t hurt you but can keep your exploration modest.
