Once a band has developed a sound that is undeniably
theirs it can be difficult to push beyond those confines
and expand the sound into new territory. Lights Out Asia
set out to do just that and have succeeded in writing a record
that was as much a sign of the times as it was an expansion of
their aural bubble that has been their watermark. They have been
called ethereal, post-shoegaze and sleep-rock, but on their
third full length "Eyes Like Brontide" the band slides into a
darker more ominous and less lucid dream than on previous
efforts. The release is a stylistic shift from the sweet
lullabies of their debut "Garmonia" (Sun Sea Sky) and the
electronic drum driven post-shoegaze of 2007's "Tanks and
Recognizers" (n5MD). The song dynamics on the album deserve
special attention. For the first time in Lights Out Asia's
history they have gone for broke with some of the most epic drum
machine driven post-rock this side of the Pacific along with
solemn disconnected passages of dream nourished sonics. The
occasional floating vocal and dusty winding guitar they are known
for are still present, but "Eyes Like Brontide" brings a whole
new dimension to the Lights Out Asia ethos. Most importantly, the
band has expanded upon its sound without throwing away the
original blueprint or alienating it's fanbase. "Eyes Like
Brontide" is recommended for fans of Hammock, Bitcrush, Robin
Guthrie and Manual.
