Album Info
With the release of their upcoming sophomore album "Light On The Path", Subaudition has become an entity of its own. Something that comes alive through painstaking meditation and submission to something greater than the people behind it. Whereas the band's debut "The Scope" (2006) was written under an intensive period of four months, "Light On The Path" took an exhaustive four years to conceive. This speaks volumes about the effort that went to their new album. This can also be heard from the album which channels a rather different kind of energy compared to the band's earlier output.
"Light On The Path" sees Subaudition move into more acoustic, less ambient sort of approach. The group has brought in beautiful string arrangements which represent a new kind of courage and audacity in their music. The lyrics, then, are at times much more abstract and thoughtful, and at others much more raw and personal than before. Musically, songs like "Sínne" and "Feathers Fall" combine the cinematic vibe of Sigur Rós and the melancholic folk undertone of Tenhi. In the minimalistic "The Soul Unto Aether" and in the electrifying closing track "Wall Of Water" there are small hints from the more epic songs of the likes of Antony and the Johnsons and even Coldplay. A little less obvious, perhaps, is that the biggest inspiration for "Light On The Path" came from the legendary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.
At the dawn of the album's release the band feels extremely relieved - but also proud and confident - to be able to finally present the new album to the public.
