40 Watt Sun - Little Weight

€30,95
A warm and heavy buzz, really killer atmospherics.
Currently good stock Limited stock Currently unavailable

Little Weight is the follow up to 2022's Perfect Light and sees Patrick Walker take a different approach to writing and recording. Whilst Perfect Light was written and recorded over a long time period, with a wide cast of musicians, for Little Weight Patrick was determined to simplify the record-making process and recapture more of the rawness and spontaneity of the band's earliest recordings. Setting aside a designated amount of time, under specific - often isolated - conditions, the crafting of the songs that make up Little Weight took place. A pre-planned series of retreats provided the space and opportunities to focus, within which Walker and his collaborators - drummer Andrew Prestidge and bassist Roland Scriver - were able to do their best work. Designated time to work without distraction allowed them absolute freedom to create, whilst deadlines added to the urgency of the final recordings captured at Holy Mountain Studios in London in December 2023. Engineering and mixing was undertaken by Chris Fullard (Sunn O))); IDLES; Ulver), who was assisted by Stanley Gravett, before Adam Gonsalves mastered the tracks in Portland, Oregon. The album's cover art is by Tekla V?ly. Commenting on the writing process Walker says: "The conditions I created to make this record - without too much extraneous, unnecessary back and forth - means that what we recorded here have an added nearness to the first emotions that I first wanted to express and which inspired me to sit down to write; things often lost over time and usually difficult to recapture." Whilst he remains unwilling to be drawn to discussing the specifics of his songs, 40 Watt Sun has once again produced a collection of vignettes that are steeped in poetic beauty, longing, love, and melancholy nostalgia.
