Light of a Vaster Dark

VINYL FORMAT. This is a vibrant collection of songs and sounds excavated by songwriter Dawn McCarthy and supported by steadfast collaborator Nils Frykdahl of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Light of a Vaster Dark sparkles with fear, wonder and playfulness while meditating on the cyclical nature of light and darkness as revealed in the seasons of life; and in the beautiful power of steadfast and humble tales of housekeeping, immigrant pioneers and a civic parade. Features the violins of Meredith Yayanos and the vocals and multi-instrumental touches of Kirana Peyton, Cornelius Boots' driving bass clarinets and shakuhachi flutes, and Mark Stikmans' rich harmonica tones.
