Haunting", "ethereal" and "oozing with soul" are just a few of the words we've heard used to describe the music of Alabama-Kentucky-to-Northern Cal transplants BRIGHTBLACK MORNING LIGHT. Backed by a crack ensemble, the duo of Nathan Shineywater and Rachael Hughes ' transcendent brand of super-spooky, carefully crafted music for many moods is the genre-blurring experience of the decade. A tag like "americana" does us little good as the letters can be rearranged to read "AREA MANIC" or "A CAINE RAM". Brightblack Morning Light are all about rearrangements of color, tone and sound we'd not previously imagined. If there's a place on the map where MBV, Lee Perry and Little Willie John can all happily co-exist, Nathan and Rachael have set up their tent. That place might well be in your living room, too, so start vacuuming.
