Forgive Us Our Trespasses

brooklyn's a storm of light are back with their second full length 'forgive us our trespasses', released on cd. the record is the follow up to 2008's 'and we wept the black ocean within'. the album finds its power through a dense bringing together of melodies, moods and textures, ensuring that while things are as heavy and cataclysmic as fans would expect, the devastating effects rely on interwoven melodies and graceful shifts in timbre, instead of a stream of identikit riffs. comprised of josh graham, domenic seita, andy rice and joel hamilton, storm is joined by a host of carefully-chosen collaborators including vocalist nerissa campbell (primitive north), the unique talents of jarboe (swans, world of skin, j2), the otherworldly spoken word segues of singer, poet and author lydia lunch and the mournful strings of carla kihlstedt (book of knots, sleepytime gorilla museum, 2 foot yard) and marika hughes (2 foot yard).
