Sonnamble - Blindlight (CD)

Here's the 2nd album by Sonnamble on the Forwind label. I didn't hear the last one. Brian hogged it all to himself with his chubby headphones so I'm here with fresh ears listening to their noise, and a rather pleasant noise it is too. It's kind of experimental lap steel guitar business with strange drones and other such noises in the background. The press release mentions 2 very apt words... twangy (there is a lot of twangs) and fuzziness (there's also a bit of that going on). It's far from easy listening though as the music veers off to strange places in the blink of an eye. On 'Blindlight' occasionally some harsh fuzzy white noise pops in randomly and it's taken me by surprise every time. I hate it when music scares me! Elements of melody crop up here and there but this follows your more sound art tip. It's kinda 12K ish so I'd say if you're a fan of the 12K roster then you'll be pleasured by the experimental sounds on offer here.
