Vaporous Light - Vaporous Light

* Limited Gatefiold DigipakCD.

* Vaporous Light are a Manchester-based trinity of musicians who came together during autumn 2010 due to a mutual love of cinematic soundscapes and obscure soundtracks.  
With a handful of musical sketches to work with, the band approached local producer Raymond Ray with the initial intention of recording a couple of demos at Ray's home studio in Withington in the south of the city. The sessions were so productive that 10 tracks were completed by early 2011.

* The band's beguilingly understated debut single, The Eyes Of A Fool, has been doing the rounds recently receiving 6Music and Xfm plays. A finger picking instrumental single with driven bass and jazzy drums, spooky vocal snippets and a wailing melodica bring it to a haunting finale recalling twisted ’70s horror.

* With magic in the melodies, the eponymous debut album is full of picked steel strings teamed with a lovely palette of synths and percussion offering the listener a rich selection of songs, sounds and textures to soundtrack autumn days and winter nights.  Inspiration during the recording sessions came from the band playing classic and obscure films on a loop on a large TV screen with the sound muted.  They would often create musical moods in time to the images on the screen from which songs would unfold.
