`: In closing their last album proper û :'
`: 2010Æs We Were Exploding Anyway - :'
`: 65daysofstatic threw just about :'
`: everything at the wall. A ten minute :'
`: distillation of all conceivable :'
`: elements associated with 65Æs :'
`: particular wheelhouse, æTiger GirlÆ :'
`: didnÆt truly kick in until halfway :'
`: through (natch) when the arpeggiator :'
`: switched on, priming the usual :'
`: crescendo expectation. :'
`: :'
`: If one wished to be cruel, they :'
`: could label the track a meticulous :'
`: box-ticking exercise, but itÆs much :'
`: too dynamic to be dismissed in such :'
`: a manner. Though it remains faithful :'
`: to its trappings, there is something :'
`: quite brilliant about how the song :'
`: acknowledges your expectations by :'
`: holding off on the outro to the :'
`: point that the listenerÆs instinct :'
`: is to go to the guitar before the :'
`: band do. :'
`: :'
`: The tension justifies the release, :'
`: and vice versa. :'
`: :'
`: Where to go after such an exhausting :'
`: victory? An EP would follow, but :'
`: Heavy Sky is more appendices than :'
`: fresh chapter. A fresh score for :'
`: Silent Running served as tribute and :'
`: milestone. Wild Light, wisely, never :'
`: quite explodes like æTiger GirlÆ and :'
`: itÆs a better album for it. The :'
`: payoffs here (for there are many) :'
`: are less immediate, less concerned :'
`: with ferocity and punctuation marks. :'
`: Aftermath hangs heavy over a record :'
`: that gives little away, preferring :'
`: to pose questions rather than answer :'
`: them. Songs pulsate rather than :'
`: scream. The emotion is here, but it :'
`: requires deciphering. :'
`: :'
`: öThere is a lot of danger out there, :'
`: ok?ö :'
`: :'
`: Wild Light begins with a warning. In :'
`: many respects, the album feels as :'
`: geared for cinematic accompaniment :'
`: as anything 65daysofstatic have ever :'
`: created, Silent Running included. :'
`: æHeat Death Infinity SplitterÆ could :'
`: only exist as introduction to a :'
`: dystopia, its brooding synths and :'
`: mechanical clanks calling to mind :'
`: the grim daily routine of the :'
`: workers in Fritz LangÆs Metropolis. :'
`: The gradual progression is :'
`: indicative of Wild LightÆs narrative :'
`: as a whole. This is very much a :'
`: straight line, a collection of :'
`: tracks that lose a little strength :'
`: in isolation. æHeat Death...Æ :'
`: provokes unease but refuses to deny :'
`: the possibility of triumph. :'
`: :'
`: æPrismsÆ alters the script slightly, :'
`: its heartbeat more akin to the :'
`: dancier aspects of We Were Exploding :'
`: Anyway. Here, the first real sense :'
`: of containment emerges as the track :'
`: builds and builds but, much like :'
`: Nine Inch NailsÆ æCopy of AÆ, the :'
`: goal is achieved through small, :'
`: satisfying lifts. 65 box themselves :'
`: in throughout this album, but always :'
`: leave room to breathe. The prolonged :'
`: ellipsis that closes æPrismsÆ is :'
`: just one of many areas in which Wild :'
`: Light invites quiet contemplation. :'
`: æThe UndertowÆ picks up this thread :'
`: with delicate piano-led digressions :'
`: that often speak louder than the :'
`: surrounding swell. :'
`: :'
`: Still, one should not downplay the :'
`: power that comes with these :'
`: explosions. 65daysofstatic donÆt :'
`: need to prove themselves when it :'
`: comes to providing suitably sky- :'
`: scraping climaxes but the closing :'
`: arguments that populate Wild Light :'
`: carry significant weight thanks to :'
`: the restraint that precedes them. :'
`: æTaipeiÆ is very much in tandem with :'
`: æThe UndertowÆ, its piano a little :'
`: sharper, its palette richer, the :'
`: eventual move into more frenetic :'
`: territory organic and ultimately :'
`: more effective than the likes of :'
`: æBlackoutsÆ and æSleepwalk CityÆ, :'
`: which, while impressive in their own :'
`: right, feel less adventurous than :'
`: their counterparts. :'
`: :'
`: The signposts are difficult to avoid :'
`: û this is a 65daysofstatic album, :'
`: after all û and while Wild Light :'
`: correctly prioritises focus over :'
`: twists, there are sections that :'
`: catch you by surprise, most notably :'
`: the abrupt bass-heavy pauses that :'
`: creep through as æUnmake the Wild :'
`: LightÆ opens up. ItÆs a moment of :'
`: especially clever invention on a :'
`: track never short of guile, one that :'
`: seemingly peaks halfway through only :'
`: to keep going and peak again and :'
`: then another minute and another :'
`: highpoint, all with a pleasing lack :'
`: of overt intensity. :'
`: :'
`: And yet nothing hits quite like the :'
`: conclusion. æSafe PassageÆ takes :'
`: time to connect, stretching within :'
`: an uneasy atmosphere before a :'
`: barrage of near-overwhelming light :'
`: races to the surface, the tension :'
`: justifying a release that spreads :'
`: across several minutes of :'
`: bittersweet euphoria. ItÆs a defiant :'
`: answer to the questions posed some :'
`: three quarters of an hour prior, one :'
`: that reaches for everything in its :'
`: grasp. And then, just as the light :'
`: bursts all the way through in one of :'
`: the most beautiful and cathartic :'
`: realisations of 2013... exeunt :'
`: omnes, gone. Full stop. Perfect. :'
