Slow Dancing Society “The Sound of Lights When Dim” – Textura

Excerpt – “Slow Dancing Society’s (Washington-based musician Drew Sullivan) The Sound of Lights When Dim is one of the most beautiful albums I’ve heard in recent days. The moniker and album title alone perfectly capture the music’s tranquil, late-night ambiance. Throughout the fifty-minute set, gentle streams of piano, organ, and guitars float in rapturous slow motion……In the sumptuous opener “Be There,” glissandi guitars rise like creatures towards the light, while, anchored by the lulling rhythm of a recurring ‘tick,’ electric guitars delicately weave throughout “A Song That Will Help You Remember to Forget.” Elsewhere, a repeated folk theme brings “The Warm Familiar Smell of September” closest to conventional songcraft before the slow-burning guitar lament “Lonesome Sentiment” brings the album to a magisterial close…..Despite being magnificently understated, The Sound of Lights When Dim is nothing less than a triumph.”
