The compilation Under the weight of light follows in the tradition of Projekt's successful
budget-priced CDs. Not just a label sampler, this disc opens the pandora's box of Projekt
founder Sam Rosenthal's current eclectic music obsessions diving into neo-folk, dark-pop &
shoegazer territory.
Included within the 12 tracks are unreleased songs from Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Unto
Ashes and Marakas Pen (the new band which evolved from Tearwave), as well as an exclusive
remix from Soriah (featuring Ashkelon Sain of Trance to the Sun).
Under the weight also includes an exclusive remix from WEEP, the return to music by Doc
Hammer, co-writer of the Adult Swim show The Venture Bros. Many will remember Doc as the
musical force behind two darkwave legends, Requiem in White and Mors Syphilitica. In WEEP's
shoegazer approach, you can sense snippets of influence from My Bloody Valentine, The
Sisters of Mercy, Cocteau Twins, and late 80s era The Cure.
Cult European acts Spiritual Front and Rome (from the Trisol label) and Katzenjammer
Kabarett make appearances with neo-folk/pop tracks complimenting music from Projekt's own
Lux Interna and Black Tape for a Blue Girl. Indie/Americana darling Curtis Eller proudly
displays why he is billed as New York City's angriest yodeling banjo player. Under the
weight also introduces Projekt's new signee, The Twilight Garden, blending old school
European synth-pop, cold wave and post-punk into a modern, atmospheric, accessible darkwave
sound.
Under the weight of light is a beautiful sampling of the captivating new sounds on the
poppier side of Projekt's world.
