Release Notes:
Ai Phoenix' fifth album 'The Light Shines Almost
All The Way', will be released by Glitterhouse
Records the 18th of September 2007. The album has
been recorded in a house southwest of Bergen,
Norway.
During three weekends the band gathered a few
friends and recorded a lot of songs. As often
before the band later on spent a long time working
on details and alternative ideas.
The songs have characteristic mixes of supposed
contradictions like joyfulness and sorrow, optimism
and melancholia, sensitivity and clumsiness,
integrity and doubt. It is a complexity that you
would find in books like Hotel New Hampshire by
John Irving, or the films of Charlie Chaplin. The
band itself has always referred to friends, events,
films and books, as well as music when asked about
influences. As Keith Jarrett once tried to explain:
'Music is a result of a project that has nothing to
do with music'.
Most of all there is a relaxed rather than
insistent sincerity in all of Ai Phoenix' albums.
This is not a band that would ask you to listen and
feel. You might pass by, you may be happy or sad,
and you may dance.
