Emotive Swedish indie rock act Black Light White Light delivers kaleidoscopic full-length album The Admirer, a 10-track collection that weaves through the human experience within expansive sonic layers. Rooted in the personal reflections, the album is an intricate journey through theme of pain, doubt, love and confusion built on wandering melodies and poignant lyrics.
The project offers up a varied soundscape, jumping seamlessly between genres, smoothly transitioning from psychedelic rock to cosmic pop, with touches of piano-driven ballads and gentle indie anthems sprinkled in, with a little something for everyone to groove along to.
From the jangly, bright guitar stylings of leading single “Epilepsy, which evokes a soothing and hazy feel underscored by bold classic rock tones, to the spacious yet emotional piano-led title track that manages to also come alive with thunderous drums, the album establishes a pattern of duality on each layered track, unveiling different sonic moods wrapped around poetic core message.
Framed by equal parts of edginess and fuzzy intoxication, The Admirer pulls us into a world of lush keyboards,sizzling delay guitars and catchy beats to make for an intimate but adventurous listening experience.
The Sweden-hailing act which was formed in 2009 by guitarist, singer and songwriter Martin Ejlertsen, have built upon an international outlook, seeking inspiration and collaboration over long distances, appealing to sensibilities and tastes around the world through their heartfelt but infectious productions.
