Blackwater Holylight * Not Here Not Gone [New CD]

Not Here Not Gone explores the duality of light and dark-menacing riffs provide the bedrock to beguiling melodies; dense walls of shoegaze guitars pair with lighter-than-air synths; and heavy subject matter is delivered by siren song vocals. The result is the crown jewel of Blackwater Holylight's catalog-a rich and immersive study in tonal chiaroscuro, where light finds it's way out of the shadows.
