The Light Left On

A close companion to The Hours Between: warm electronics, dream-pop, hushed folk, slow-motion guitars, and a long ambient landing. Forty different songs for the same quiet part of the night. Air and Zero 7 open the room; Beach House, Mazzy Star, Grouper and Slowdive carry the emotional center; piano, voices and strings gradually settle into stillness. Play in order.
