Forgive Us Our Trespasses

Brooklyn's A Storm of Light is back with their second full-length and the follow-up to 2008's And We Wept the Black Ocean Within.

VINYL FORMAT. Forgive Us Our Trespasses derives its power from a dense melding of melodies, moods, and textures. As heavy and cataclysmic as fans would expect, the devastating effects rely on interwoven melodies and graceful shifts in timbre instead of a stream of identikit riffs. A Storm of Light is comprised of Josh Graham (Red Sparowes), Domenic Seita (Tombs, Asea), Andy Rice, and Joel Hamilton. On Forgive Us Our Trespasses, they are joined by a host of carefully chosen collaborators that includes vocalist Nerissa Campbell (Primitive North) and Jarboe (Swans, World of Skin, J2); the otherwordly spoken word segues of singer/poet/author Lydia Lunch, and the mournful strings of Carla Kihlstedt (Books of Knots, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) and Marika Hughes (2 Foot Yard) only enhance the richness.
