Our Take

CURRENT 93's Soft Black Stars is like stepping into a mystical, otherworldly realm where genres collide and boundaries blur. This album is a dark, haunting journey through the mind of visionary musician David Tibet, who weaves together elements of neofolk, experimental rock, and ambient music to create a truly unique listening experience.

From the ominous opening track "The Long Shadow Falls" to the ethereal beauty of "A Failure," Soft Black Stars is a mesmerising sonic tapestry that will transport you to a place where time and space cease to exist. Tibet's haunting vocals and poetic lyrics draw you in, while the intricate arrangements and atmospheric production keep you hooked from start to finish.

The album's standout track, "Twilight Twilight Nihil Nihil," is a sprawling epic that showcases CURRENT 93 at their most ambitious and experimental. With its hypnotic rhythms, swirling drones, and eerie chanting, this song is a true masterpiece that demands to be heard in its entirety.

Overall, Soft Black Stars is a dark, brooding masterpiece that defies categorisation. It's an album that will challenge and captivate you in equal measure, leaving you in awe of the boundless creativity and visionary spirit of David Tibet and CURRENT 93. This is essential listening for anyone who wants to explore the outer reaches of music and experience something truly extraordinary.
