Museum Of Light Signs With Spartan Records, Debut Album Set For Release On June 10th

Pre-save ‘Horizon’: HERE

Watch for the first single “Soft Openings” to be released in early April.

Guitarist, vocalist Ted Alvarez says, “Of course you don’t have to have a record label, or even a record, to release music in the world. But having the support and validation of Spartan and rubbing elbows with such an incredible family of bands makes us that much more elated to get Horizon out into the world.”

In the meantime, download/stream two FREE songs (“Love Song / “New Money”) that the band released in spring 2021 HERE.

On ‘Horizon’ the trio (which notably includes Rob Smith of Traindodge fame on drums) expertly balances the opposing worlds of heavy and ambient music; Equal parts big, crushing, overwhelmingly heavy riffs and dreamy, Zen-like washes of ambience and found sound.

Alvarez explains, “Those would seem to be incompatible, but the more we played, the more we realized those two things could mesh, and could be incredibly appealing to us. For us, both are coming from places of joy, pleasure, and serenity as opposed to anger or rage. Don’t get us wrong — there’s plenty of wonderful aggressive music that comes from those places. But there sure is a lot of it already. This stuff should be a release to listen to and certainly to play, and that’s ultimately a positive vibe.”

Smith adds, “We are massive fans of complexity and wonderfully dense and abstruse music, and I think there are some surprising ways in which that sneaks out. But we placed that immediacy at the forefront.”

Horizon was recorded at Sharkbite Studios and Anti-Sleep Studios in Oakland, CA with Kowloon Walled City’s Scott Evans (Thrice, Heiress, Thou, Sleep).
