David J Smith's The Stargazer's Assistant continue their exploration of worlds beyond earthly light with this new full length album.
"Remoteness of Light" reveals an expanded line-up for the group, featuring David J Smith (Guapo, Cyclobe/ percussion and sampled atmospheres), David Knight (Shock Headed Peters, Unicazurn/ treated guitars and FX) and Michael J York (Cyclobe, Teleplasmiste/ pipes, FX and field recordings).
As with previous Stargazer's releases "Remoteness of Light" eschews and subverts genre identification, instead drawing the listener into an unfamiliar, richly atmospheric, and elemental sound world populated by bursts of freeform percussion, spectral melodies and seething, haunted airs.
The album is produced by Annti Uusimaki (Guapo, Mothlite, Grumbling Fur, Aethenor).
