Noctorum: Sparks Lane (Grey) [Vinyl LP]

"Noctorum has announced they will be releasing their fourth album 'The Afterlife' through Schoolkids Records. This is the duo's first long-play in seven years. It will be released exclusively on CD and gatefold vinyl on Feb 15th,, 2019. Noctorum is guitarist/singer-songwriter Marty Willson-Piper (The Church, All About Eve) and producer Dare Mason. Named for the village Noctorum, located near to their (childhood homes - they have left a long time ago) homes on the Wirral (near Liverpool), Dare and Marty liked its association with night and its Latin derivation. This collaboration has an eclectic focus, making the quiet loud and vice-versa, singing words that might be spoken and playing indoor instruments that should be heard outside. It has to be imagined to exist.

This collaboration between Marty Willson-Piper from atmospheric mood makers the church and producer/multi instrumentalist Dare Mason will be released through In Deep Recordings and Second Motion Records; the follow up to their acclaimed first album, 2003's Spark's Lane.Starting in one world and finishing in another, visiting different worlds on the way, Offer The Light is an album is an experience in both eclecticism and masterful recording. With a roll call of multi talented musicians too many to mention here, Noctorum's multi genre universe has no boundaries, only keys to turn and doors to open. Poignant lyrics over soft melodious guitars and acid devious characters stalk pounding beats; it's like listening to a compilation album of different bands with different ideas only the members are the same.The deeper you dig into Noctorum's world the more unpredictable it gets. Stay with it. Noctorum is finishing up a new album which will be available in late 2010.
