MUSIC: Brightblack Morning Light
Brightblack Morning Light.......This little band from Northern California has been generating some digital heat over the last couple of weeks. Nationally, it probably all started with the Rolling Stone blurb (expanded interview found here), but we've been catching bits and pieces over the last couple months here in the Bay Area concerning their new album (self-titled). They're currently on a pretty extensive tour, hopefully you can catch them.
Getting down to the nitty-gritty, BML's music has somehow worked itself into my daily routine; which happens to be a very important indicator of awesomeness, actually. Beautiful, sparse, and somewhat hypnotic...... truly a unique sound. Here's some sample songs:
(from their self-titled sophomore release)
::: Brightblack Morning Light - Everybody Daylight
::: Brightblack Morning Light - Friend Of Time
(from their debut album, Ala.Cali.Tucky)
::: Brightblack Morning Light - True Bright Blossom
::: Brightblack Morning Light - Wildshiney Stars
