Where Shine New Lights

Tara Jane O'Neil presents a sublime new album, her first new solo record in five years. The choral voicings in Album Name spread out across the stereo field like muted cloud formations, split by sudden outbursts of vibrant color.

Imagine verdant mosses on ancient stones, opal-sized windows of clear blue against a vast horizon. Pump organ drones swell and respirate, patient and slow, with softly resonant gongs from the roof of the world.

The music in Album Name is about healing, listening, surviving, and transmuting the strange inheritance of language. Through collaboration, breath, sound, and song, Tara Jane O'Neil moves towards a direct perception of apparent reality.

Using basic recording equipment and her vivid musical imagination, she has achieved a rare essentialism in Album Name. All unnecessary elements have been stripped away, leaving only the most indispensable sounds.

Album Name is concise yet expansive, stripped of unnecessary gestures. Guitars resonate, amps hum, and an exquisite, languid melancholia emerges from the haze.
