Available now! Stray Light's fourth album is their longest, most densely packed with musical ideas and most playful outing to date. A sideways flora and fauna theme runs through the record, and this is matched by the series of vintage biological illustrations on the cover. Each sleeve is handmade and unique. Listen to some sample tracks on the band's Bandcamp and SoundCloud pages. |

We have a very limited number of the first solo CD by David from Stray Light available to order. Last few remaining! "Each
track takes a constant drone as it's base and gradually unfurls
drifting harmonics like watching the first rays of light creep over
a misty morning horizon, until light engulfs the senses ... a calm,
reflective and beautifully blurred music" "A
la limite du drone." "A
rhythmless piece of ebbing, flowing, textural work that would probably
drive most listeners mad." More info and reviews: TDLVweb |

Available now is a limited edition release of the 2009 Stray Light album, Waves Broken. This edition is limited to 200 numbered copies, each coming in a hand-assembled recycled cardboard gatefold sleeve with art hand-printed by the band. Waves Broken is the band's most diverse collection of songs yet - the loud bits are louder, the quiet bits quieter, and the weird bits are, well, weirder... Some unorthodox flute, viola, piano and balalaika round out the usual band sound. There aren't many left, so order soon to be sure to get a copy! |

"Stray Light are all about slowburning intertwined guitar melodies, bolstered by sweet violin drone and skittering drums ... cute and sinister" - Brainwashed The first release on Doubtful Sound Records is the second Stray Light album, following 2000's acclaimed Mile 7. Largely conceived and recorded in a week's work in the isolation of a haunted farmhouse in the depths of the Sussex countryside, Careers continues and expands Stray Light's intuitive and idiosyncratic approach to music - balanced between improvisation and composition, noise and melody. The sample MP3s give an idea of the range of ideas and approaches employed - Hearing Shapes is a beautiful, crystalline duet sung by Kat and Ellen, accompanied by delicately interlocking guitar parts and cracks of percussive noise from Chinese cymbals. Ckpunka is a throbbing instrumental improvisation in the mode of early Velvet Underground jams, albeit accompanied by a violin line tinged with Eastern European influence.
