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"
-Brainwashed
"A
la limite du drone."
-Fear Drop
"A
rhythmless piece of ebbing, flowing, textural work that would probably
drive most listeners mad."
-Almost Cool

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.
