Whoever heard of an accessible Old Time Relijun record? Well, here it is. The latest incarnation of a band that keeps reinventing itself, while remaining true to their axis of emotional divinity. The beauty lies deeply ingrained in a jubilant outpouring of thunderclouds and crowns of thorns and tumbling bags of bones. The addition of drummer Rives Elliot to the kettle -- already containing Arrington de Dionyso (guitar, voice, and woodwinds) and Aaron Hartman (double bass) -- provides Old Time Relijun with a resounding thud heard across the dance floor. This is a band of musicians who create, improvise, and communicate. Sure, the noise and confusion of previous Old Time Relijun outings are here, but the clarity of "Lost Light" lifts it through the skylight of destruction to a world you've never visited before. It's deep, thick, luscious, feral; with no rules to the instinctual sounds, it's an unforced force for inner peace through catharsis.

"Arrington de Dionyso, front man for heathens Old Time Relijun, was raised among honest to goodness God-fearing people. The son of Methodist ministers, de Dionyso grew up around music and ever since, says he's been 'in search of the sounds that get me high.' OTR's latest offering sounds more like devil music than the spirituals de Dionyso was spoon-fed as a kid, a twisted whorish mix of early Bowery punk and garage rock with a sexy Cramps-like sleaze that makes you feel good but guilty." --Bill Picture, San Francisco Examiner
