Six Organs of Admittance have 'Luminous Night' out on Drag City. When we first played this I was quite surprised as what I was hearing was somewhat unexpected. It's a dark albat kind of treads new territory for the artist. Randall Dunn is on production duties and he's worked with Sunn O)), Sun City Girls and Earth. He's captured the sound really well with the production sounding big and cinematic. What surprised me most were the vocals which give the album a black folk, gothic feeling. The second time this got played I was a lot more taken with it. The tracks all feel very grand with some flute and tabla assistance. It feels a lot more like a band being orchestrated by Chasney with the players and producer assisting him in his vision. CD and LP on Drag City. Current 93 fans are advised to check this one out.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

‘Luminous Night’ is the brand-new Six Organs Of
Admittance album, the first in two years.

‘Luminous Night’ features the talents of Randall
Dunn (producer of Sunn O))), Earth and Sun City
Girls, amongst many others) and viola player
Eyvind Kang, both of whom lent their arranging
skills to the recent Sunn O))) opus. The other
invaluable contributors to the album are Hans
Teuber on flute, Tor Dietrichson on tabla, Matt
Chamberlin on drums, and Dave Abramson on
percussion. Occupying their spots with care, they’ve
collaborated to create something rich and vibrant,
aching and new.

For its blanketing sound, ‘Luminous Night’ draws
inspiration from such cinematic sources as
Jodorowky’s ‘El Topo’ soundtrack and the scores
of Kurosawa’s samurai films, but is at the same
time music that could only have come from the
singular sound world of Six Organs Of Admittance.
