dubmission 7 Report post Posted September 13, 2019 Pioneering electronic duo Pitch Black drop their sixth studio album, “Third Lightâ€, on 13th September 2019.Their two-decade career of fusing different musical styles is in full effect across the eight track release. Dub, downbeat, techno, drum’n’bass and cinematic ambience are all ingredients in an echo-drenched odyssey that moves the heart and mind and body, as Pitch Black’s distinctive sonic signature of deep analogue dub combines with beats ranging from slinky to slamming and vocals spanning enigmatic to emphatic.As the album shifts between dance floor and brain food, it reflects on a world similarly in transition between two states. On the one hand, the planet faces depleting resources and a looming climate emergency; on the other, capitalism and consumerism are marching blindly onwards. As a result of this conundrum, there are many contemplative moments on the album, most notably with the world’s extinction echoing in the ambience of the final track “Did You Get the Messageâ€.Despite prevaricating between pessimism and optimism, “Third Light†is far from a depressing record. After all, Pitch Black are far from technological luddites, and just as their futuristic beats strive for a progressive future, so they hope for a more harmonious tomorrow. “Third Light†is available on CD or can be downloaded or streamed from the following:Bandcamp Spotify AmazonMarbecksApple MusicBeatport DeezerGoogle PlayTidal They're on tour this October and November 17/10: Neck of the Woods, Auckland - Tickets from bit.ly/2P0b8zM19/10: White Night, Napier - free24/10: San Fran, Wellington with Ludus - Tickets from bit.ly/2KFo9dM25/10: Church Steps, Nelson - free07/11 Sebright Arms, London with Robot Riddims - Tickets from bit.ly/2WyGQCV08/11 Sebright Arms, London with Polyop - Tickets from bit.ly/2OyjoDa09/11 Aubergine 3000, Paris with Sound Strider, Sparky Riot, Youthie and Ghost in the Chill - door sales only10/11 OCCII, Amsterdam with Uncle Fester on Acid and Ramses - Tickets from bit.ly/2IF1T1i13/11 Crofters Rights, Bristol - Tickets from bit.ly/2Xazypd14/11 23 Bath St, Frome with Sangita Soundsystem and Brewtski - Tickets from bit.ly/2KxzlLo15/11 The Tin Music and Arts, Coventry with dr trippy and 100th Monkey - Tickets from bit.ly/2VFYlBv16/11 Panke, Berlin with qnp and Bill Robin - Tickets from bit.ly/2XsFF97 1 Chlorophil reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
